Adult Children by Stephen Beals for March 09, 2025

wise words to live by

Sounds like a pretty d@mn good way to end the day to me. :) I like this fellow’s mindset.

Yeah, but is Shelby gonna end up with Berle? (shudder).

I don’t drink beer but I’m watching the Scooby Doo DVDs I got for my birthday as I type this.

I could drink beer and watch Bugs Bunny DVDs this afternoon!

I don’t drink beer, but I love cartoons!

one of my favorite quotes was by Paul James the Gardening Guy. when asked if he could be a plant what would he be, his reply was he wouldn’t want to be a vine because vines grow up

I prefer to use the term “animation”. It sounds much more mature and discerning than “cartoon”. Like SpongeBob SquarePants animation.

To quote Dave Barry, “What I look forward to is continued immaturity followed by death.”

I always say that I have to grow older, but I refuse to grow old.

I’m enjoying — and not surprised by — the comments here from those who still watch cartoons; for me, my love of comics strips and cartoons is a package deal. Most of my cartoons on DVD were purchased on the cheap at thrift stores, and I’m slowly making my way through them. And two weeks ago my wife and I enjoyed the annual Bugs Bunny Film Festival at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge, MA. Eighty minutes of cartoons on the big screen, in 35 mm.

It’s what I am doing right now. Minus the beer. A Coke Zero works for me.

Yup. I just placed an order on eBay for two anime series.

I guess I am better at adulting than I thought I was.

Drinking a beer and reading this lol
