Heh, you're doomed Vexx. Next thing you know, they'll be asking where you live.
I know of at least one other member in his 40s: BBOvenGuy, a published author if I recall correctly. I've been "banned" from calling myself old. So, yeah, I'm just 37 years young. (Now, if only little kids would stop calling me "Uncle"...) |

Seriously, uncle, you should only feel old when you have a 20+ calling you DAD. That namesake is not that bad......I had a 40+ prospect that called me "xiao di" (Chinese for little boy) and ask me if the government reduced the age limit to license financial advisors. OTOH, these small convo made me wonder, why do older people like you guys prefer anime to TV shows? Is it because of : 1. Lolis 2. Kemonomimi 3. Pettanko 4. Torpedo tits Or is it simply that the broadcasters in your region air garbage over the waves?

Going to join the 30s club myself soon. Not that my physical age seem to matter. The people who know me in person describe me as a "grouchy grampa", and I still get asked for my ID at cinemas ("Dude... I'm like almost twice your age...")
Random Auntie: "So what school are you in now?" Me: "..." I suppose I'll consider it a blessing when I turn 60 and people still think I'm 30 or something, but man can it get annoying at times. Cheers.

Nope, you're not going to be like anything like the "Hulk".
Seriously, you might die. Either by infection or allergic reaction. Anything foreign is will be instinctively rejected by your body. By the way, I'm not a MD but an RN so better consult it to a MD. Last edited by NoemiChan; 2012-04-22 at 07:31. |

The longer answer is that: 1) I've long studied asian culture, this is just more of it. 2) I like trying to follow the dialog in Japanese 3) I've mostly given up on American television - at this point I watch less than 2 or 3 hours of entertainment tv a week. I spend more time watching documentaries and public broadcast news (BBC, News Hour, Euro Journal, NHK, etc). 4) I *like* the social principles and morals presented in much of anime, the sense of civility, etc. "Doing the right thing"... stuff that "reality tv competitions" is the exact opposite of. Much of American tv promulgates screwing everyone "me me mine", Bread-and-Circuses, etc. 5) And yes, the cute pretty girls and the guys they befuddle rarely fail to amuse. That's me in a recent photo, yes. Loli-wife pics are available in my public album (though she's pretty hard to get a good pic of without stalking her).
