Adult Dopers, what are your guilty (chidish) indulgences?

I would take two pens, say of a different colour. Hold one in the right hand, hold the other in the left and pretend those are cool-looking swords.

Then my left hand will duel with the right.

Hostess Chocolate Pies

Really, anything Hostess. They’re so bad, but I don’t care. Twinkies, mmm.

Crack in the sidewalk game.

Fried bologna.

22 year old female checking in here. I love Harry Potter, and Roald Dahl’s books still. I also enjoy snowball fights, and just general silliness.

I was away in Sweden last weekend for a ski-weekend. There were 40 of us in a kind of youth camp type setting, between the ages of 16-35. We had snowball fights on the ski slopes, put snow down people’s necks, and then when we got back to the place where we were staying, we had foam fights!

I love acting like I’m 10 years old again!

Kite flying, I love going out on a windy, hot summer day and making my kite whip all around the sky (I have a small nylon stunt kite) I am a 31 year old male.

I also play video games on a fairly regular basis, but I only feel guilty about that when I should be working on or around the house :slight_smile:

Glad to see that I’m not the only one :slight_smile:

LEGOS! How could I forget LEGOS! I wish I still had my collection, probably around a couple thousand blocks.

Harry potter too. I finish all the books in about three hours each except the last one which took 6 hours.

Hey, Innanna, what part of Ohio are you in? Im in N-E OH by Mentor.

Male and 33.

I have no problem with my watching a decent amount of anime, but playing games online with a bunch of self-admitted 15-year-olds can make me feel * very * weird sometimes :slight_smile:

Yes! I find Dora the Explorer totally mesmerizing. Actually hypnotic…

I’m 26 years old.

I actually have some. Blue with shooting stars. They’re wonderfully fuzzy. And they’re the perfect thing to put on after a day outside making snow creations and having showball fights. On those rare occasions when we get snow in Seattle.

If I get my kids a box of Lucky Charms, I always get caught eating just the marshmellows and putting the cereal back in.

Those Hirst Arts blocks look really kool! Ill have to get some sometime.

22 year old female here…

  • Kid’s books: Harry Potter, Lloyd Alexander, Buffy spinoff novels, Francesca Lia Bock…

  • Powerpuff Girls. The show. The movie. The knapsack.

  • Two words: Hello. Kitty.

  • A children’s puppet show called Nanaland.

Also: Playmobil figures depicting mythological creatures (ie Mermaids, fairies, etc), (private and rare) tantrums, too much candy at one time, spoiling my dinner, Disney’s * Beauty and the Beast*, my Cabbage Patch Kids Violet Fairy doll, jelly bracelets and other plastic jewellery, t-shirts with cartoon graphics on them.

YES! I read all Roald Dahl’s books as a kid, and still have a copy of Matilda at home. Very clever and witty writer, and the humour in his books has a certain “bite” which I appreciate more as an adult.

You can’t beat a bit of general silliness, either. It’s something my best friend and I have in common, and he’s 46. We talk about the most inane things, in silly voices, usually while pulling faces at each other. And we do this in public, too. No wonder people always give us funny looks… they probably think we’re on day release from the nuthouse.

My best friend and I often indugle in childish behaviour… and he’s 46. We talk about the most inane things, in silly voices, usually while pulling faces at each other. We even do this in public. No wonder people give us funny looks… they probably think we’re on day release from the local nuthouse.

Bugger… must learn to press Submit at the right time when editing posts!

Batman. Anything and everything Batman. I have Batman bedsheets, pillow cases, t-shirts, underwear, UnderRoos, toys, figures, plush figures, collector’s edition comic books, colouring books, paint-by-number books, sticker books, stickers, a Batman pinata hanging in my dining room. I even got an adult sized latex Batman cowl for Christmas this year.
I watch Superfriends, Justice League, Batman Beyond, and Batman: the Animated Series.

I am a 24 year old female…and never got to play with “boy toys” when I was younger, so I indulge now.

I’m female, 19.

  • Blowing bubbles
  • Painting nails
  • Reading Asterix
  • Reading my fave novels from when I was a kid (Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton etc)
  • Harry Potter
  • Doing cartwheels in the park
  • Eating sherbet and gummy worms
  • Sleep with a teddy
  • Can’t sleep after watching scary movies

Woah! I really do sound like a kid! :slight_smile:

Female, less than two months shy of 26…

  • I sleep with a stuffed animal. A very beraggled “newborn baby Simba.” I worry about replacing it when it falls apart.

  • my brother (almost 20) and I occasionally play with his legos.

  • I collect barbies, specifically the kid/baby ones. I want the Happy Family line very badly. I can’t say I collect them for aesthetic value since I occasionally play with them still…

  • While I don’t consider reading YA books immature, since a professer once remarked that anyone avoids them for fear of being childish is doing themselves a disservice, I enjoy shows aimed at people much younger than I: 24seven; Being Eve; Degrassi: The Next Generation; So Weird… Oh and Dawson’s Creek has been one of my favorite shows since college. OTOH, the wb says DC’s desired audience is 18-32, so maybe that’s not so bad :slight_smile:

male , 30

  • saturday morning superhero cartoon shows (if I’m still/again awake)

  • painting with my hands (…no wait… that’s avantgarde, not childish… :smack: )

  • eating habbits. once in a while you gotta loose the common sense and get yourself the old jam & salami on toasted white sandwich, or something similar excessive. (…great… now I’m hunfry)

My name is Skerri, and I have lots of childish habits.

I love Judy Blume, the Cartoon Network, Spongebob Squarepants, Dexter’s Laboratory, Fat Albert, impromptu breakdancing fits when cars with loud music drive by, Silly String, grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner, answering the phone with a silly voice, and using the word “poop” frequently and with great authority.

There is more, but I think I will tarnish my reputation at another time.

Oh, c’mon Skerri! Everyone else is coming clean!
