[Closed] Grow up FFS

I'm the oldest Ripstik rider at the skatepark. Still can't grind though 🙁 . (I'm 44)

I do Michael Jackson 'heeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeeeee' impressions if i feel i am riding a particular section of singletrack well.
Rob, aged 42 1/2.

Forcing a really deadly flufty (thats what we call farts in our house) while standing at the supermarket checkout.
Hollering at the top of my voice while descending of road.

Blag off work to go riding.
Im 49.

i walk round the house in just my undercrackers, but with them pulled up as far as they will go, while asking my wife if she fancies me.

😆

The horror! 😯

Made me feel quite quesy just thinking about that actually, Ton...

Yeah well...

It shows tremendous maturity to un-flounce... your age clearly belies your wisdom.

Forgot the most obvious one.
Among all of my mates we have a rule that you have to call safety when you fart. If you don't and someone realises (audible or nasally) they shout doorknob and beat you until you can grab hold of a doorknob.

Very childish, but its affect is spreading.

to be fair, it wasn't much of a flounce.

I'll try harder next time

Yeah, fair do's... don't forget to have a flouncing theme tune.

Feel free to borrow my flouncing tune, 'Time of my Life'.

I don't think we've had many permanent flounces.

We had that at school.

well the good ones continue then

Aah! I always thought that was your brakes squealing 🙂

Surf Mat... he knew how to flounce. He knew how to do everything though so it's hardly surprising that when he flounced, he did it the best.

Should have got the win for that

I miss Surf Mat.

His dad taught Phil Lynott how to flounce, you know.

SurfMat did an awesome flounce.

Surf Mat, yesterday.

SurfMat was just awesome. In fact he was older than all of us yet, at the same time younger...

Anyway, back to the topic.

- When I walk into a hotel foyer with hold-all in hand, I am Neo.
- I lock my arms and ride supermarket trolleys round the aisles and across the car park at speed. Never lost one yet.
- I enjoy Nerf battles with my 7 y/o son. The "nuggets" shot being the highest scoring.
- I have been known to "hunt" members of the family with my Nerf rifle.
- When someone is in the shower, turning off the light and running away will reduce me to helpless giggles.
- I still get scared in the dark when I should know better.

I'm 45. What is this growing up that you speak of?

For all you Trolley crashers can I present - [url=

of Darkness[/url]. Watch the full movie, quite poignant.

I will never let a pun go unsaid.

I started a moshpit - by myself

When I finally trip over my bottom lip I'm waddling out of the room to this:

It's impossible to ride through this short tunnel without making ghost noises (but only if nobody else can hear).

Trying to ride it like a fullpipe doesn't work though 🙁

Shouting Father Jack lines is always good too.

DRINK, FE*K, GIRLS, ARSE.

_tom_, is that on Freight Train? If not there's one very like it and yes I did make ghost noises. Everytime!

Yep that's the one 😆

Another 40+ (41) trolley rider here - get a disapproving glare from Zoe every time I do it!

Low walls etc. always need jumping up on and walking along (again leading to disapproving glares).

Talking while burping is always good fun.

Realising the 11 year olds I teach have a more mature sense of humour than me.

Hell, we all throw ourselves around on pushbikes for shits and giggles and pretend it's a sport. Doesn't that tell you all you need to know about whether we have grown up or not?

In my 41 year old head I'm still as stupid and indestructible as I was when I was 15, and long may that continue.

slainte 😀 rob

molgrips,me too!
I always try to have sword fights with the practice swords in decathlon.
not many takers though.not random strangers,mind,GFs.
it takes a long time to learn how to be young.picasso.

not many trolley riderz here in spain.prefer to drive like ****s on real roads..

i have the habit of singing along to random crap when out shopping with the missus LOUDLY and the other thing is (shes not here is she good)fart in bed then lift the duvet up with my foot then drop it so she gets blasted i know its bad but she got her own back with

Mrs ck: "do you want me to dust your nuts sweety"

Me: "sounds good go on then"

Mrs ck cuddles up to me pretends to start pulling her pj's off then PHHHAAAAAFFFFFFFFF farts in my direction

Mrs ck: "Ha got you back" rolls over and kisses me followed by "told you id get you back"

Me: stunned to death last time i played the fart game 😯

39 & 10 months
Fart in bed & blame the cat
Drifting shopping trolleys
Pretend to be a robot when doing the dishes (with sounds)
Pull my pajama pants up as high as I can & tuck my singlet in to them
Honk the horn in tunnels
Moshing to punk bands at the pub on saturday night
Growing up is over rated

I'm so overcome by the sense of wellbeing that I have with the world after reading this thread, that I can't think of any things that I do that would typically produce a 'off ffs grow up'. However I know that I do do such things.

When I get the box of Roman armour/weapons in for my S1 pupils,I have to put it on,just to see what it looks like...I'm 43. But actually that's young for a reenactor 😀

Somebody mention Lego Star Wars?

Finished on Saturday morning.

46

I still "Bomb" into swimming pools.

Vic age 43.

mugsys_m8 can't think of anything he does.... well he pretends to be his stuffed monkey (which he keeps in his undy drawer) and talks from the stuffed monkey's point of view.

I've threatened if with 'oxfam' or 'rags' but the look of hurt on his face everytime....

[i]I'm 45 years old

When I'm on the road bike, on a little muddy lane, in the 53, on the rivet, I like to pretend I'm Sean Kelly in a spring classic
[/i]

I am 42 yrs old.
On Sunday I was on muddy Norfolk backroads.
I wasn't near any rivets, but I encountered lots of nice dog walkers and horse riders.
All of whom I bid a good morning to, and who returned the same sentiment to me.
Everyone in my world was happy, Sunday.

However, I have recently completed the book [i]A Dog in a hat[/i].
So yesterday, while out riding, had thoughts about Kermis races.

🙂

I wear my other half's relatively substantial brassiere's on my head like the kids in Weird Science, just to amuse her of course.....

Erm, and I do the pull your boxers up as high as they will go thing while wearing socks, strutting around the house and uttering lines from Austin Powers.....

Get a good run on the shopping trolley before gliding along with locked arms (can be dangerous in low trolley load situations), and using the relevant foot to brake round corners...

Making skidding noises when in the car when the OH is driving, every time she goes round a corner, regardless of how fast we are going...

What a thread!!

I can't drink anything with a straw in it without blowing bubbles and giggling to myself.

Sometimes on the metro/underground i pretend i'm part of a surveillance team following a foreign spy, and try to blend in and avoid being made by my target.

Sometimes when super commuters trying too hard overtake me on their bike i make a nnneeeeeeeooooowwwwnn sound.

I'm 29 and have a PhD

Excellent !.
😆

I was in such a good mood this weekend, it was all I could do to stop myself from running along in the shopping mall and then sliding across the floor on my knees.

And I still pull a skid when coming to a stop after a quick dash my town bike.
😀

I was as "super commuter" today, I broke my PB to the station, as I crossed the carpark line I raised one hand to the sky and uttered "yes!" (under my breath)
I turned my lights off, blew my nose, ordered a cup of tea from the polish guy, folded my bike and resumed The Order.
I rock me.

"Mummy Mummy, when will I grow up?"

"Don't be silly son, you're a bloke, you'll never grow up"

This is a fantastic thread. Cheered me right up on a Monday morning.

I always aim for the middle of the biggest, deepest, muddiest puddles when I'm out on my bike. When this leads to the inevitable slow-motion-over-the-bars-into-a-bog scenario, I giggle like a 12 year old.

If I ever stop doing this, its time to call it a day

I do handlebar arms, jump onto all small walls and do 30ft jumps off tiny mounds, 360 backflips when out [s]walking[/s] riding my invisible bike.

Im 40 on the outside, 12 inside.

It says technical error but the winner must be the person whom decided to let 30 minutes worth of fireworks off in a minute.

Shopping trolley - check. Who doesn't, seriously?

When I fart, I blame my daughter(3)
She does the same to me and has been versed in the ways of doing it as loudly as possible.

Ocrider 38 3/4 and a very proud dad to boot.

I think that firework display was more spectacular than the normal kind to be honest.
