Jeez, Nerd-o-Rama! I feel like throwing stuff at the Screen like in "Animal House" (I know, we need the dues) Mostly I feel sad (OK, I mean besides because that I'll never be that young again)
Have any of these kids driven a Motorcycle? Popped a Wheelie? Driven over 100mph? (in their parents car, that they're not supposed to be driving anyway) been drunk?, smoked a joint?, gotten laid? (OK, the girls probably have, its easier for them)
OK, my daughters didn't either, as far as I know (I bought them their own cars they could drive 100mph in) except for the getting drunk, and that last one (they're girls, they like guys, hilarity ensues)
But they played sports, had part time jobs, we did Science stuff, but outside, sure, you can read about a Graveyard Spin or skidded turn stalls, or watch one on the Youtubes, but seeing me crash a $1,500 Remote Controlled Jet (yes, you read it correctly, a Jet) drives it home better than some boring lecture.
