“Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” — C.S Lewis
One of these things is not like the other
One of these is a fucking adult
An adult having fun?!? Well, we cannot allow that sort of thing continue!
“When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”
Says the grownup who regularly visits a blog about superheroes, science fiction movies and semi-naked young women…
Only YOU would list naked women among “childish things”, Gropefest.
What….PG rated semi-porn where you can’t show nipples or bush…..?
OK then……..
Oooh! I can quote people too!

Let he without a silly hobby cast the first slur.
I don’t care enough about nerds to even think about this topic. No attention for you. You’re still nerds.
