Yeah, go guys, I think it'd do Emerson good to get a dose of the time and space continuum. Now 1987, oh dear, I shall have to consult the oracle. In those detested of Californian terms (as Gov) "I'll be back"leekohler said:Oh- I think we should! OK everybody! What were you doing back in the late 80's when scem0 was born? This could be really funny.![]()
scem0 said:you old people are so funny...

Zaid said:That said, i don't think i could deal with being 19 againOnce was enough.
leekohler said:Tell me about it. God- I'd never want to go back. I've been happiest in my 30's.
scem0 said:I'm looking forward to being in my early 30's. That's the age group that I'm most attracted to physically, and by that time you're feeling more secure about your job, you are still lively enough to go out and have fun, and you are totally independent at that point.
Sounds like a lot of fun to me.

leekohler said:Tell me about it. God- I'd never want to go back. I've been happiest in my 30's. But yes, scem0. We're a bit jealous. I mean, if I could be 18 and living in NYC. Wow. Enjoy it. BTW- just talked to Todd in NYC, I could be there in early December.![]()
leekohler said:Yes- but to be honest, I still have some growing up to do.![]()

scem0 said:Sounds great. It's going to be cold, though. You might need to hold me as we walk to keep this Texan boy warm. I have yet to experience a NY winter.

Zaid said:That sir is the line i'd like to use on my deathbed. Long may it be from now.
I think the day you consider yourself to be grown up is the day you may as well throw in the towel. It means the last bit of kid is gone, and well we all need that child-like wonder and mischievousness, just to make things interesting![]()
scem0 said:I'll take you up on that.
Yeah, NYC summer was pretty damn miserable. My dorm doesn't have air conditioning. It was hotter than the most fiery places in hell. That's coming from a boy who has roofed a house in Texas in 105+ degree weather. Makes you appreciate AC

leekohler said:Oh trust me- I can still get into trouble!BTW- and this in in no way meant to rip on straight people, but my straight friends from school are all married now with kids and it's made them so old. It's like their fun gene shut down. Now, believe me, I understand that raising children is serious business, but my god! Chill once in a while. My friend Nick is the only one who has kept his wild personality, probably due to the fact that his wife is so wonderful. They come visit and bring the kid and we have blast. The rest of them seem depressed and trapped. Many are verging on divorce. What is that?
scem0 said:You do see this a lot, it's quite unfortunate.
It's the same way with uni, which is also serious business. Last night my friend was working on a paper at 10PM. I know that schoolwork and education is important, but nobody should be writing a paper on a Friday night when they are 18 years old and in NYC... that's just wrong. I invited her to the club I was going to (I had a good time, by the way, no stories though), and she declined. Oh well...
_Emerson
scem0 said:Yup... I'm gunna go try to convince her to go out with me tonight, and then I'm gunna go, have to get there before 12.
Looking forward to what you old men discuss while I'm off and away.

Ah yes, and a little respect Zaid, it's the Patriarch and you're correct with the mafioso connections. I shall rule and dispense justice with a short barreled shotgun. But I shall be most beneficent in dispensing my largesse. My title shall be capo di tutti capi. When it pleases me, I may make Emerson, Lo scemo del villagio, who will then entertain at my pleasure.Zaid said:Kevin, a thought:
Are you like our wise matriarch ? I quite like that idea actually. We're all like this big Italian (possibly mafia) family and Kev in a black suit/dress (whatever you fancy mate) dispensing wisdom and justice and keeping the rest of the family in line. Lee and Chip etc are the dons, I've sort of just made it as an adult, still needing the occasional clip behind the ear, and Emerson is the kid go-go dancing in the garden. I never said we'd be anything other than a strange family![]()

La casa Nostra, yes, I think I'm going to like this game.

MontyZ said:So who's gonna buy Madonna's new CD when it comes out Tuesday? I've got it already set up in iTunes. I'm sure Lee has also pre-ordered it.![]()
Zaid said:Well can't say i'm looking forward to them, but I'll let you know how they are in few years time
