Question Things you do that are immature.

I'm in the 30s and I feel like a big kid.

It almost feels like there's two sides to my personality. On one side, I am successful in my career. Professional and efficient. Capable of carrying projects and leading groups of people from start to completion. 50 year old guys asking my permission to take the day off...

...then there's the side of me that plays video games, makes immature jokes, thinks farts are still funny, entertained by people falling down or getting hurt, spends money on children's toys, prank calling my gf, and so on...

What are some of the things you do that makes you think, "Ok, maybe it's time to grow up...after I throw a football at Joe's groin..."

DC comic books (and Linkara's reviews of the same).

Linkara is 25 by the way. I'm 34.

^ Yep.

Though according to site statistics, I am well outside the target audience.

That pretty well describes me at 27, with the exception of 50 year olds asking my permission to do anything.

I can be incredibly silly.

I still sneak up on people on the left, tap their shoulder on the right so they look to the right and won't see me until they turn left.

Always gives me a laugh. ha ha. I'm even laughing about it as I write this. LOL

Haha that reminds me of how I always wanted an all out NERF war in the officce, buildling massive forts and barricades with cube farms.

But yeah at work I'm pretty professional, but out side of work I let everything loose.

My immature mind is thinking an all out war with alien beings. This is where playing too much Halo and GoW come into play.

I don't know why but my friends and I have always had an obsession with putting things in each others asses. Any time someone passes out, mustard, mayo, cheese, whatever we can find. I thought maybe we were over this, but last winter we were up at a buddies cabin sledding and someone got themselves all losered up on whiskey and passed out, sure as hell his ass was exploited.

"Basically, my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats." - Woody Allen

"I don't pay attention to the number of birthdays. It's weird when I say I'm 53. It just is crazy that I'm 53. I think I'm very immature. I feel like a kid. That's why my back goes out all the time, because I completely forget I can't do certain things anymore - like doing the plank for 10 minutes." - Ellen DeGeneres



I'm 53 and enrolled in the LA Marathon the other day. And I like my PSP. A lot.

Not immature, just gay.

We did that this halloween. Well, not in the office. We played Zombies and Survivors where the survivors had to hide and the zombies were on a prowl. It was especially fun when you do this in a 4 story condo building complete with parkade.

Laugh at farts. Keep waiting for it to stop being funny, but I don't think that day will come.

A couple years ago, I noticed that I wasn't laughing at farts as much as I used to. I thought I was maturing. But now that I have two young boys, we laugh at farts constantly now.

I'm back baby!!!

Getting Sh*tcanned wasted and lighting things on fire, singing, yelling etc etc. I'm 37.

I torment kids mercilessly as well. Pranks are awesome, even more so when you do them to people that lose their minds. I can't NOT poke the bear to see what happens.

I also drive like a 16 year old, and rap in my $70 000 SUV. Thug life, yo
