I question if "true adulthood" and "saying Dude" can occur in the same person. Hey, if being a true adult means that you can't say Dude, I'm not sure I want any part of it. Then again, youth these days apparently aren't allowed to say nifty, which I am extremely guilty of. So I guess I'm stuck in the Twilight Zone.

What do the rules say about "spifftacular"?

That results in either permanent social banishment or death. I recommend choosing death.

Wow, that'd be an interesting contest: to find a word nerdier than spifftacular.

Ouch.

I don't suppose a hearty virtual hug would make you feel better?

that's the beauty of it. As a true adult, I could not care less what people think of me for using "dude" and "true adulthood" in the same post.

And being rude to the person who delivers your morning coffee is just stupid, because she can put anything imaginable into it and you won't know until the caffiene finally kicks in three miles away...

Uhh... I think I qualify as an adult, at least where age is concerned, and you wouldn't believe what things I say - "dude" would probably be deemed mature in comparison. I have a toddler to blame, though.

Belated congrats, Sa'ar, and also belated - great TJI, Zeke!

Well, I hope everyone's having a good Black Friday and staying out of the madness that is holiday shopping, at least for today. Since I kinda work in retail you wouldn't imagine the lecture we all got about the special Black Friday-only rules to keep things moving on our big volume day.

That's a secondary reason why I stay away from coffee. I'm not gonna go all preachy on all of the caffeine addicts out there, I'm just saying.

Been awhile since I've seen a Dunkin' Donuts. Seems that Krispy Kremes have invaded the north country in recent years.
