6) no
7) yes
8) no
9) yes
10) yes
11) yes
12) yes

16) no
17) no
18) yes
19) yes (migraines and a rather touchy stomach)

Zaia, would you mind providing us with a larger version of your avatar?

It's called "Kiss" and it's done by Tanya Chalkin.

You know, it's a poster. You can buy it here for US$10.

With those types of pictures, I find that they are actually sexier with clothes on rather than off. Wierd.

[God Emperor]

I got about half, almost there.

If I stare at that picture long enough (which I am) it almost looks like it's moving.

[God Emperor]

If I stare at that picture long enough (which I am) it almost looks like it's moving.

You have a very active imagination.

[neoolong]

You have a very active imagination.

Damn skippy. An active imagination that involves lesbians is a good one.

[Demiurge]

If I stare at that picture long enough (which I am) it almost looks like it's moving.

You have a very active imagination.

Now if only I could get some sound.

Done...

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.

All houseplants can be smoked. The difference is that, when you've grown up, you're no longer stupid enough to try it.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

I guess I'm safe from adulthood on this score. King, Queen, Twin, bathroom floor, still makes no difference to me.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

Beer is food. Heathern.

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

Only farmers and the insane are awake at 0600.

5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.

This doesn't apply to the '70s babies. Metallica will never be played in an elevator.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.

Only if I've been smoking the houseplants.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.

Ouch.

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

Only until the novel is done. Being paid to write is a full-time vacation.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."

Never did, except maybe for Fred Rogers.

10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the stereo.

Police, shmolice. That's what baseball bats are for.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

Not unless they want dinner back.

12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

Taco Bell closes?

13. Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up.

Thanks for reminding me.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers.

If I had a dog, I'd feed it... to my cat.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

Not if you have the cushioned side facing up.

16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6:00 PM.

Got me there. I take naps from 6:00 AM to noon.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

Damn... you mean growing up makes you cheap?

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3:00 AM would severely upset rather than settle, your stomach.

Not if they're breaded in Tums first!

19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

Damn! Cheap and unlaid! Growing up is gonna suck!

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

Always have. Cold pizza and cottage cheese IS breakfast food!

22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again."

I guess I can still drink the way I used to...

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

Damn.

24. You no longer drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

True. Why go to the bar when you have booze at home?

25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that this doesn't apply to you.

I'm guessing the younger members found more than a few. I, on the other hand, am getting sucked down the Geriatric tube. And on top of that, my birthday is this week.

[Dahak]

Only 14 days of holidays?

I would shoot myself...

Well, it's in addition to whatever vacation time your job gives you. Some of them are honestly unnecessary IMO, and ought be eliminated, though we should probably elevate a few others.

We have 30 days of paid holidays, added to the 15-19 official holidays (depends on the state your living in...).
So 14 days only of holidays? Try to do that here, and you're get shredded to tiny pieces really fast

[Gandalf]

None of those apply to me, which makes sense because I'm 17.

[Captain Cyran]

None of those apply to me, which makes sense because I'm 17.

*grumbles as 5 of those applied to him and he's 17*

[Peregrin Toker]

5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.

This doesn't apply to the '70s babies. Metallica will never be played in an elevator.

And since they'll never play Bal-Sagoth in elevators, I'm apparently never growing up...

[Southpaw]

Fortunately, none of those apply to me. Especially the one about the 6 am bedtime.

[Dorsk 81]

None of those apply to me, which makes sense because I'm 17.

Same. So how many others are Peter Pans and shall hopefully remain that way?

[Sriad]

5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.

This doesn't apply to the '70s babies. Metallica will never be played in an elevator.

And since they'll never play Bal-Sagoth in elevators, I'm apparently never growing up...

The world would be a better place if they played The Pixies on elevators.

Or maybe it would just be a place where people hung out in elevators a lot more.

2. None of your damn business.
3. You can keep food in the fridge?
4. Batman. Creature of the night. Yes, it is.
(Actually, it's neither).
5. That would require me to finally decide what my favorite song is.
6. We have a weather channel?
7. Interestingly enough, they do both.
8. What's a vacation?
9. Yes they do.
10.I'm the Dark Knight. I don't need the police.
(That, and families with little kids on both side so no loud music)
11.Orphan, remember? (And no.)
12.No Taco Bell around here. I DO know when McD closes-6AM.
13.No car. Unless we count the Batmobile, which somehow nobody would insure...
14.No dog. And Krypto DOES get McD leftovers when Supes is around.
15.Yes it does. Note to self:clear that junk off the couch before you sleep on it next time.
16.There's no way I'll stay in the office until 6PM.
17.Hell, at least it would be a date...
...did I just type that out loud?
18.No KFC around here either. And the occasional burger still goes down fine.
19.What is ibuprofen?
20.It never was. I'm no wine drinker.
21.You can eat breakfast?
22.I never could drink.
You propably should not have done it, then.
Don't remind me...

24.I never did?
25.Not really, no.

NTM that if I weren't Batman, according to my sister I'd be the worlds oldest 12-yo

EDITed to fix typo.
Bad typo!
THWAP!

[Raoul Duke, Jr.]

On behalf of all of us who are 26 and older... *delivers a Looney-Toons-style hypersmackage upon Hyperion*

You're not even old enough to drink legally, much less complain about old age legally.

[Darth Gojira]

Just #9. You'll never take me alive, maturity!!

[Typhonis 1]

you forgot #26

The cashier says she doesnt need to see your id when you buy Alcohol/adult tapes/etc
