- greenroom628, on 07/16/2008, -1/+41would that be the reason why its in the "comedy" section?
- Alex2, on 07/17/2008, -0/+24Damn you Onion! Damn you TO HELL!
- PoliticalMan922, on 07/16/2008, -1/+21Interesting. And why was it buried? It's...comedy. In a comedy section?
- scooterbaga, on 07/16/2008, -3/+23Oh... So that's what I'm doing... ...Except with new stuff.
...***** it. Beats the hell out of taking care of babies and visiting museums... or whatever the hell it is you 'grown-ups' do.
I'm going home and putting on my superman shirt and eating some pop tarts for dinner... - chicken101, on 07/17/2008, -1/+17It's not news? NOOOOOOO, MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE!
/s - jaybol, on 07/16/2008, -6/+21yeah seriously snozebtn this must have really interfered with your digg experience to have to look at this headline. do you comment on porn spam in the upcoming? did you really bury something in the comedy section for being...comedy instead of news?
- diggcommentguy, on 07/17/2008, -0/+12"I'd say 'Come to bed,' and he'd always snap back that he's an adult and can stay up as late as he wants."
That cracked a smile, maybe even a chuckle. - inactive, on 07/17/2008, -0/+11Do you need to post a separate comment instead of a reply just because you want Diggs?
- sabster, on 07/16/2008, -3/+13the future 40 year old virgin
- Joshuarr, on 07/17/2008, -0/+8I thought I remembered this from somewhere. Then I noticed the date: MARCH 12, 2003.
Seriously?? - theaverageidiot, on 07/17/2008, -0/+8This is the Onion, but I don't see why it can't be real. Interview the average digg'er, you'll get more or less the same story as this guy.
- Slade605, on 07/17/2008, -0/+7My supervisor at work said I would become the 70yr Virgin.
I tried to laugh it off till the tears came. - jakash, on 07/17/2008, -2/+9The really sad thing about all this is that us on Digg are just as bad - even though this is satire. I mean, look at all the Mario and Lego submission recently, plus much more, which are just people trying to relive our childhood desires. It doesn't take long sifting through comments to people who claim to have brought childhood toys (lego) and old video games, just to satisfy their missing childhood desires.
- Alex2, on 07/17/2008, -0/+6Being a speed reader, I had half read the article before the onion logo at the top loaded.. then I got to the bottom of the article with that tiny little onion logo.
Drat! They got me. - chaoswings, on 07/17/2008, -0/+5I know you are being sarcastic. But on a serious note....Honestly I do not see what is the problem with playing video games or playing with lego so long as it does not interfere with your top priorities. People are by far to fixated on what other people think. What exactly is wrong with watching a few cartoons? They are certainly better then "American Idol" or "Do You Think You Can Dance?".
The only time I have issues with people is when they are child-like ALL the time. Apparently enjoying yourself and having some fun is frowned upon in society. We need to worry about bills and stress ourselves to the point of depression or else we can't be considered adults.
Being mature means being able to properly manage your time, set your priorities and manage social obligations. Nothing more and nothing less. - charm803, on 07/17/2008, -1/+6And the good thing is, as adults, we appreciate it more, more than those bratty kids now a days.
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -0/+5Breaking: ONN Live
This just in. Onion News Network is satire. We now bring you live to the scene, where Bill Clinton was spotted earlier today flirting with with women at a singles bar. Our preliminary reports indicate that Bill is still not single. This could mean more trouble for the Clinton family.
UPDATE:
Breaking revelation in the Bill Clinton scandall just in, our sources are telling us that Bill was actually looking for his wife, at the lesbian singles bar, "Beavers".
We'll keep you updated. More at 11. Bob. - browwiw, on 07/17/2008, -1/+6What 29 year old collects Bionic man merchandise? That's mid-70's. He'd be more in the GI Joe range.
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -0/+5Ain't it the truth? I coveted a remote control car for most of my childhood. I finally got one at age 29. It fascinated me for about 15 minutes. Too little, too late. Well, there are always GUITARS! Yee HA!
- Tyrghast, on 07/17/2008, -1/+6Fruity Pebbles, oreos, coke, and Atari. This man is my hero.
- LeviTheSmith, on 07/17/2008, -0/+5Digg is not a news site.
"Digg is a place for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the web." - Farmer77, on 07/17/2008, -2/+6Fruity pebbles is a good cereal.
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -2/+6HELL YES!!!
http://sprenzy.com/~chuck/11-20-2006/green-machine ... - nogami, on 07/17/2008, -1/+5For what it's worth, when I landed my first $60k/yr job some years ago, I went and bought the most massive LEGO set I could find... :P
Now it's an iPhone... - kiderjones, on 07/17/2008, -0/+3I was done growing up when I found an Atari 2600, Colecovision, and a Commodore 64 at a thrift store, all working condition, plus games/software. I was 22 then and I'm 33 now. I'm a better person for it. woot!
- truebeliever83, on 07/17/2008, -0/+3this is crazy old! still good, but not front page material
- Hoogs, on 07/17/2008, -1/+4Wow...I had thought it was real until I read your post.
- 2oonhed, on 07/17/2008, -0/+3dammit......fell for another Onion story.....I gotta remember to read the byline before clicking on this stupid crap.......I thought I CUDS for a minute because I eat lots of Coco Puffs & Frosted Flakes......and I am 50.
- theman8631, on 07/17/2008, -2/+5Haha...
....
I just bought d&d 4th edition....
/me cry - Inox555, on 07/19/2008, -0/+2The article is dated March 12, 2003. If Riesman was twenty-nine at the time the article was written, he would have been born in 1974. "The Six Million Dollar Man" originally aired from 1974 - 1978.
- psysop, on 07/19/2008, -0/+2i need
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2Only if your childhood desires included touching little boys.
- mitch3323, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2***** onion i thought it was a real story till i clicked the link
- christophelyon, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2I think it's probably the mose plausible article from the Onion I've ever read.
LOTS of people are like that. - madcaps1980, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2Dude doesnt have CUDS he's just embracing Toys R Us kid-itis!
- VintageMud, on 07/17/2008, -1/+3Hey! I actually loved going to museums when I was a kid (at least the Natural History Museum in NYC).
- spookyttws, on 07/17/2008, -1/+3Phh.. I for one have matured. Now excuse me, I'm going to sit down for a fine dinner of Cap'n Crunch with chocolate milk.
- TheMightyDane, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2This was all funny and kind of "cute", a guy living his childhood dream of slacking off..
- All of the sudden they drop the bomb and calls him mentally insane ... How rude... - tjrecord, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2When I clicked that I scrolled down and didn't see The Onion at the top of the page. I honestly thought this was a real article until I came to Chronic Unfulfilled Desire Syndrome haha. His life actually sounded really fun and fulfilling :P
- Nhoji, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2I didn't even realize that was the Onion till i clicked on the comments.
I was getting pissed at the writer at the end for cutting up on the dude.
update his game systems to current hardware, and that sounds like the life to me.
i have a box of fruity AND coco pebbles in my cabinet at this time. - buckeye45, on 07/17/2008, -1/+3i actually have watched scooby doo recently. and it definitely wasn't as great as i remember it.
- boombye, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2Maybe it's because they left their gaming consoles at home.
- grey580, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2Wait... you mean that wasn't real?
Sounds like me and my friends. They should of thrown in some d&d to make it more believable. - Toshibi, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2Unfortunately, that story hit sort of close to home...even if it is satire. Looking at a lot of things I do through the scope of this submission actually sort of makes sense...
- Khast, on 07/17/2008, -3/+4I know it is from the Onion, and they are trying to be funny...but I know a few people who really are like that.
I myself, am an adult...but I have gotten a lot of the things I really wanted as a child growing up. Not that I'd play with it...it just holds up the shelves. - redrighthand, on 07/17/2008, -1/+2do people just make lists of onion articles to resubmit ever 10 to 12 months?
- iamcsl001, on 07/17/2008, -2/+3a well deserved cereal break from custer's revenge, i see. i guess he'll play e.t. next.
- Bviper, on 07/17/2008, -3/+4I fell for it... but the entire time I was reading it I was kept thinking who cares what he does with his life. Sounds like a decent one to me...
