This kills me...  (I almost wrote "This totally kills me,"  but that would
be, like, giving away like, my age, you know?)

I've turned into one of those adults that I used to hate...  I read all
these posts from Blythe et al and thought to myself...  "Just wait until
you're older.  The stupid people don't get any smarter."  

It's a trap that I've fallen into.  The cynical youth has turned into the
cynical adult;  I can't help it.  However, I've become Thor's and Bob's own
personal cheerleader.  

Hooray for being cynical, young grasshoppers.  Maybe one day you'll grow up
to be as good as these guys.

O.S.R.  This kind of derogatory comment about peers is very appropriate for
a Salinger discussion group.  Holden would applaud.
