Poll: Men of the escapist do you subscribe to the 5 year old mentality? Women what is your opinion?

[Lord George]

-yes we shall rule this land and we shall call it....this land,
- I think we should call it your grave,
-arghaaa curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

I'm sorry what where you saying?

 

[Julianking93]

At first I didn't get this, but from that list, yeah I guess I can be childish.

 

[RanD00M]

I´m most of the time mature.
But when I act my age,I go for 12 year old.Not 5.

 

[War Penguin]

Yeah, I'm childish. Life sucks when you grow up. Everything is much better when you're one with your inner child.

 

[SmartIdiot]

Yep. I've definetely got that mentality.

Only instead of 'batmobile' I say 'horsehuntermobile'. I named my car horse hunter.

 

[PureChaos]

i wouldn't say a 5 year old but i certainly don't act my age

 

[IckleMissMayhem]

In moderation it's a good thing. People need to have a sense of humour, and shouldn't be unable to have fun occasionally!!

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

People who think they're too old for silly things are people who I don't want to be friends with.

Sure, it's good to be able to 'act your age'. But that doesn't mean you have to lose touch with all the stupid little things that make you happy.

 

[Irridium]

Everyone should get in touch with their inner child.

The world would be a better place.

Edit: for those who requested it.

What it is to subscribe to the 5 year old mentality
(you need a minimum of one of the things in this list to subscribe):

-Be childish on occasion,
-Not always have a rowing oar up your ass,
-Able to laugh at yourself,
-Not care about others opinions of your interest,
-Are one of 'us' who feel we own the Pokemon/Digimon/dragon ball Z generation and that although its been years and Pokemon just gets better graphics each time we pump money in.
-SANTA IS REAL I will EAT anyone who says otherwise!
-The Escapist is awesome cause of the ppl on it,
-Dragons are Epic - think of it portable marshmallow heater!,
-Sparkly! meeeess wantss itss,
-Lego,
-PIRATES areeeeeee awesome (sorry just couldn't stop ),
-Cmon we all know that if you could make people, everyone you see on the street knows the song lyrics and voice cues of the Lion King Script, and could perform a musical in the street,
-Find it funny when I tell you a m8 of mine took another of his m8s onto the street, got a dog collar and a cane and was singing "one boy, boy for sale",
-Water slides -WHeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,
-Love asking "why",
-Like Comics or Manga,
-Say on occasion, just cause you can, "To the Batmobile!",
-Occasionally read a really childish book,
-Finish sentences with songs, e.g. "how do you feel about film? I do not like them in a box.
I did not like them with a fox. I did not like them in a house. I did not like them with a mouse. I did not like them here or there.I did not like them anywhere. I did not like green eggs and ham. I did not like them, Sam I am.",
-.........


Also please post what you think needs to be added to the list!

I do all those things.

And I think you should add watching Saturday Morning Cartoons to the list.
Because you were never truly a child if you never watched a saturday morning cartoon.

 

[God's Clown]

My dream job is to be a Space Pirate, and on the side I would explore planets, on my T-rex mount.

That should answer the question.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

BTW, your example for the last one is not a song, it's from a children's book by Dr. Suess.
And yeah I can't deny I've done and still do more then a few of the things on that list.

 

[OtherSideofSky]

Many of the things on your list apply to me, but I wouldn't really call a lot of them "childish". I just enjoy the things I enjoy, be they dinosaurs or well-implemented bureaucracies. Most actual 5 year olds (and children in general) tend to be complete bastards, anyway.

I know that its from Dr. Suess - highly recognisable was reason I chose it

 

[Xyphon]

Childish when I want to have fun and professional when I need to be.

Lego's fo' life, foo!

 

[Fraught]

That one, who's shell I'm currently inhibiting, likes to act as a child, occasionally, yes.

It is very, veeeery fun.

 

[^=ash=^]
