I don't know if they've given up looking like a human, but they certainly have given up on looking like an adult.
Yeah, I can't take someone seriously if they are in the same clothes they slept in.
And I know this because often times their hair reflects that point.
My wife and I are trying to instill this in a 16yr old nephew.
While his classmates may practice this, he's seeing the value of actually getting dressed to go to shopping.
It may take some time, but he's getting it.

Yeah, bed hair is just another styling choice. :p

Ok, he is ready for school! :doh:

-People referring to anything that predates the last two decades of digital technology as "stone-age" or "medieval."
-Everyday devices, such as smoke detectors and cross-walk signals, that talk to you.
-The curiously widespread notion that the Farrely brothers are funny.

Ha! Apple juice is the least of your worries.

Dh beat me to it. Apple juice is of no consequence.

Straight out of the Sears & Roebuck Catalog, Cherry Wood... from the Washington collection.

Pajama pants with football teams, motorcycle brands, or just plain skulls all over them.
I don't understand why people wear things with skulls all over them. Aren't skulls representative of death?

Bristles on the end of a stick, it's literally not rocket science. I want something to clean my teeth with, I don't need a sonic screwdriver.
Everyone needs a sonic screwdriver. Just ask the Doctor.

Gee, you think?:
Is yellow your favorite color, JP? :lol:

"Your house is on fire. Please exit the building."
You can add Will Ferrell and the rest of the current crop of "comedians" to that list.

Ugh. My fiance will wear pajama pants in public. I have told him that it embarasses me. I have told him several times. He must look like an idiot standing next to me, all dolled up in 50's attire. I wonder how many people have seen us and thought to themselves, "Why is she with him?" Trust me people, I hate the way my fiance dresses.

Funny about the Pajamas in public. A few weeks ago, I was really under the weather, I needed to go to Walgreens for some medication. I still went through the shower, shaved, combed my hair, and dressed. I just cant go out in my night cloths, maybe if an ambulance picked me up?

I suspect that his real name is something on the order of "Moon Dance Sativa".


As Hesse so aptly wrote: "If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us."
