Why is QC so damn fascinating?

I must be the youngest member of the Grumpy Old Man Caucus, I'm only 35.

Close - it's the realization that we never left that age. Your personality is developing until your early 20's, it's the age you finally become yourself, and so it's the age you always identify with. There are changes as you age, and you still grow and learn, but you'll always think of yourself as being around that age.
At least, that's what my grampa told me on his 80th birthday, while belting out some popular tunes of his day...
Be sure it's true when you say "I love you",
it's a sin to tell a lie!
Millions of hearts have been broken,
because these three simple words have been spoken!
I love you, I love you, I love you,
but if you break my heart, I'll die.
So be sure that it's true
when you say, "I love you",
it's a sin to tell a lie!
30 years later, and the man still haunts my dreams.

True enough. Anymore, when people ask about my age, I sometimes say "Sixteen." And when asked about that, I say that "When I was sixteen, I knew it all, and didn't have all of these problems."

I've never actually seen that as a general theory. I thought it was just me. I'll be 40 in a few weeks, and I still feel like I'm about 25. Of course, my wife sometimes jokes that I'm as grumpy as 80 and as mature as 14 :laugh:
"Get off my lawn!"
"But we were just..."
"hurr hurr you said butt"
Is it cold in here?:
Part of it is the good balance Jeph makes between zaniness and drama. You never know what flavor of food pellet is going to drop when you hit the F5 lever.
