A 16 year old boy, and his only dreams are to see a parade and get a jet pack?







Eunuch.

jet pack would be sweet... unless ofcourse it was an anti-matter jetpack of sorts and crushed you into the soil, unlike the conventional species that make you fly uncontrollably for 10 seconds, then u get the hang of it(source: TV)

Anyone who wants to be at that parade in person is obviously an idiot. Who else would want to be packed along a sidewalk in freezing temperatures amongst hoardes of rude, stinking new yorkers (not to mention the inbred tourists!) just to listen to some horribly out of tune high school marching bands and see some "wacky" balloons? Idiots, that's who. Don't they know they put that thing on TV?



I do agree with the jet pack thing though.

Such simple dreams of the young. I remember there was a time when all I wanted was a jet pack too. And I almost got to march in the Macy's Parade. But stupid low Brass wouldn't pull their Shakespeare together and raise enough money to pay for the sousaphones to get shipped to New York!

What they don't give you is his expanded bio: Nicholas Perdue, 16. From Brooklyn, NY. Recently graduated to the 4th grade. His hobbies include: licking windows, and eating paint chips. Favorite foods: Oreo cookies, bananas, raw chicken, and anything from McDonalds. Plans for the future: a couple more years of 4th grade, learning to read, rehab for phonics abuse, and that jet pack. Additionally, Nicholas says about his love life: Maybe he will kiss a girl if he meets one who is not "yucky".

My personal pet peeve (well one of them) is people under the age of 20 talking about there "life's dream".



It makes my skin crawl listening to some useless, 16 year old, wanna-be pop idol talking about how making a CD was the completion of her life's goal. Ooooh, you've been trying for like what? Six months?



By the way, I've now received two clickies and completed what has been a goal of mine for months. I'd like to thank all of you (all two of you) that allowed me to reach this goal.

My life's dream has always been to land a girl that looks like Bella Donna (only a more sexually extroverted) and a jet pack.



So I can see where he's coming from.

It's 5am and you are apparently Googling your name to see if you have been mentioned anywhere, and we need lives?

Actually, as I read through this thread, noticing that it was an oldie but goodie, I couldn't help but hope deep down in my heart-of-hearts that someday, somehow, Master Perdue would happen upon this thread. So, Nick, you've just made my dream (of approximately 1 1/2 minute lifespan) come true. It brings a veritable smorgasbord of proverbial tears to my eye, sir. Now log in so I can give you a clickie.

Erika the Exorcist 76,152 9

Yes, I will click you as well.















And then I will report you for a banning since you are clearly only 17.

1. The e-mail never mentioned at which year's parade is the quote's origin. (Though Nick did give it away by saying it was "a year ago.")



2. He'll be 18 in anywhere from 1 to 13 months... virtually no time flat! (That didn't work with the cops either.)



3. He's obviously super intelligent and funny and so we can overlook... yeah, I couldn't even continue that one.

On the other hand, think what a great view of the parade you would have with a jetpack.
