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. *grin* Cecilia. O.S.R. This kind of derogatory comment about peers is very appropriate for a Salinger discussion group.
