Grown Ass Man


A list of dissappointments in my adult life that I thought would be neater as a kid:

1) Eating a whole bag of double stuffed Oreo's before dinner
2) Staying up past 10pm
3) Driving
4) The ability to go to Chucky Cheese anytime I want
5) Running my own door to door fundraiser selling wrapping paper and overpriced pretzels for prizes
6) Going to college and doing a triple lindy off a high dive
7) Becoming a gooney and marrying the girl from The Great Outdoors
8) Having a knife like Rambo and a haircut like Mr. T
9) Beating up my brother and his mean friends with Brian Brophy and Anup Bushon
10) Living at King's Dominion

Dedicated to John Kemmemmerer and his ability to throw an un-hittable wiffle ball.

I wholeheartedly agree that on there own many of these things are quite a disapointment, but when taken in concert they can bea real experience. For example, eating a full bag of double stuff Oreos, while driving to Kingsdominion at midnight to get a good parking spot in order to sell your finest wrapping paper and oversized pretzels to unsuspecting amusement park patrions, is the best.

there is nothing disappointing about the ability to do a triple lindy, or even just climbing a high dive as a grown man...

Bimbo Coles' picture looks like that guy we used to know, Enrique.

Your seat cushion doubles as a flotation device and your pillow that is stowed in the overhead compartment doubles as a headfort.

Enrique must make great tips with that thing above his lip. Him and eddy should start an ebony and ivory cover band at Seacrets.
