Dude, someone call CO Liberal

[Tweed]

We need him here to quell this under 18 worship madness!

[CO Liberal]

1. It Will Fade Out Soon

For the record, I have nothing against teenagers. I'd just like to know when I'm communicating with an underage DU-er, because some topics may not be appropriate for a 52-year-old (like me) to discuss with a 16-year-old.

[Beware the Beast Man]

2. Oh the irony!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

3. too rich

[sniffa]

4. outta my way i got here Late

what did i miss?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. the irony of a man in an elf suit thinking kids are imature

same old same old

[Beware the Beast Man]

12. Spellcheck, you 10-year-old!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

15. thats the way we're spelling now! You must have graduated like 2 yrs

ago!

[Texasgal]

32. Now *THAT* was good!

LOL!!!

[Susang]

7. What DU topic would possibly be "inappropriate" for a 16 year old?

How do we even know you're really 52? :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

17. well I see your point

but first things first, 17 not 16.

[Susang]

26. When will you be 18?

So all this madness can finally end? }(

[JohnKleeb]

30. July 24

and cant wait.

[Susang]

36. Not soon enough

I will be counting the hours.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four........

[Midlodemocrat]

21. I agree with you there CO liberal

the other day there was a thread where someone swore at Neoma, not knowing that she was underage. I don't think that person would have done that if they had known.

[CO Liberal]

48. That's My Point

I still think it's a good idea to have special symbol for underage DU-ers. And this thread proves my point.

[the Princess]

5. Hey here's an idea!

Just drop it? Everyone.

It's old news and BORING.

[Susang]

8. The Princess has issued a proclamation

You must all obey! :D

[terrya]

9. I'll hop right to it!

Maybe. Should I? Darn this indecision!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. She said Drop It not HOP ON IT - sheesh - how old are you anyway?

[terrya]

19. Drop....hop....

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

[Susang]

23. I read "Hop on Pop" when I was little

Is that what you guys are talking about? :shrug:

[terrya]

27. Yeah...I just felt like showing my appreciation for the great Dr. Seuss.

That's it. :-)

[JohnKleeb]

33. what was he a doctor of?

I always wondered that.

[terrya]

35. It was a pen name, nothing more.

His real name was Theodore Geisel (I think that's what his last name is spelled)

[Susang]

37. He was a doctor of love

The love of children, that is. Strangely, didn't have any of his own, I understand. ;-)

[terrya]

41. You're right. He didn't have any children of his own. But...

he loved them just the same. And you can tell by reading his books. When I was a kid, reading his books, I felt like he was a friend. :-)

[Susang]

43. I still can't say "butter beetle battle" and not grin

And I don't think that book was even written when I was a child, I used to read it to my little sister when she was young. She used to get a kick out of the tongue twisters in it. :D

[terrya]

46. That's just the thing. He didn't talk down to kids.

The wordplay in his books is brilliant. :-)

[JohnKleeb]

40. I thought it was a crime to be a false doctor :D

[terrya]

42. For someone as good as he was, I would have forgiven him.

:-)

[Phillycat]

13. HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[the Princess]

14. Wow

Such hostily - how terrible for you :)

[Susang]

20. You misunderstand

I was merely trying to inject some levity into this thread. There was no hostility meant, at least not by me. Why so defensive, your highness? :shrug:

[Susang]

44. Sigh.....

Still misunderstood, it seems. :-(

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

45. I understand you

:hug:

[Susang]

47. Yay!

Somebody understands! :party:

[Phillycat]

10. I'm actually in my 30's.

So it's only Kleeb-worship, and I think he's a case unto himself. :)

[JohnKleeb]

16. and I am not 16 damnit but 17

nearly 17.5.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

18. you're almost there little guy!

[JohnKleeb]

22. ha little?

:)

[terrya]

24. John!!

Good one! :-)

[JohnKleeb]

29. like all my humor attempts

its best unintentional.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

25. Why Mr Kleeb are you coming on to me?

[JohnKleeb]

28. I am not

Its just funny you call me little when I am an even 6 foot and weigh 220.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

31. *sob*

alas

Hey wait - I'm straight - never mind

[JohnKleeb]

34. yeah so am I

remember I have a few girls I am interested in.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

38. oh right

sorry

[JohnKleeb]

39. no need to be

[BigMcLargehuge]

49. locked

alright kids of all ages... no more teasing and taunting or you lose dodgeball and hopscotch for a week. So help me I'll stop this minivan! Don't you look at me like that young man/lady, I didn't carry you for nine months to have you scowl at me! And keep your fingers off the window, for crying out loud I just cleaned those!
