Get the earning stripes mug.A book, television show or movie which seemed to be awesome when seen as a child but turn out to be unbearably shitty as an adult.
1. I tried to watch Voltron the other day. What a terrible show! I can't believe we watched that shit back in the day. Talk about Different Strokes Syndrome.
2. Jonathan Livingston Seagull gave me a total "I'm special" hard-on when I was 13. Due to Different Strokes Syndrome, I couldn't make it through the first chapter as an adult.

Get the colonel stripes mug.A Strikeout is possibly one of the most brilliant and best ways to get totally inebriated. The person in question must have ready a fully loaded Bong, a shot of his or her favourite liquor, and a pint of his or her favourite Beer.
The person in question then lights the bowl, takes a nice, long bong hit, then puts the bong down. While holding the weed smoke in, the person proceeds to take the shot of liquor back and then chugs the beer back. After they finish the beer, they exhale the weed smoke.
