Light Your Way Into 2026

๐Ÿ˜† ROFLMAO ๐Ÿ˜† That’s about the size of it. We all need to internalize “It is what it is” and let the flames of this year’s dumpster fire light our way into 2026. Of course, I firmly believe that we also need to accept that we mostly think every year is a prolonged dumpster fire and consider why that is.

Christmas Movies

Old School Christmas Movies

I think we’ve all seen the recurring memes about Die Hard being a Christmas movie. And this year, I’m seeing a lot of them adding Lethal Weapon to the Christmas Movie list. I get a kick out this. But, let’s never forget the original Christmas movie, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Oh yes, long ago, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence used to be shown by one or more of our local affiliates every year around Christmas. I mean, it really wasn’t the Christmas season until David Bowie (Maj. Celliers) is buried to the neck under the Javan sun. ๐Ÿ˜†

With Age Comes Maturity

With Age Comes Maturity

With age comes maturity and wisdom – the maturity and wisdom to know that far too many people are fucking idiots and the first, best course of action to take is to sit back, have a beer, and ignore them and their antics. Honestly, the vast majority of them aren’t worth our attention, much less an actual response of any kind from us.

The real problem these days is that those idiots won’t leave us alone and have decided that wanting to just sit back with a beer is somehow evil. Hence, they get up in our faces and force us to sit up, put down our beers, and put them down like any other rabid animal.

Great Granny Panties

Here’s an odd bit of humor. I’m still occasionally hearing the term, Granny Panties. But that’s a bit of – actually more than a bit of – a misnomer. Nowadays, those aren’t granny panties; they’re great-granny panties or even great-great-granny panties. ๐Ÿ˜›

Yeah, just to make the point clear, thongs started in the 1970s as swimsuits and became popular in the 1980s as underwear. Hence, it was younger Boomers and Gen X that first adopted them. So, for the younger generations, granny panties look more like this:

That’s right, Kiddos. Your grandmothers wore french cuts, brazilians, and thongs as a normal thing. She didn’t wear what are still called granny panties except on rare occasions. ๐Ÿ˜†

Gen X Recess

OK. This is a bit hyperbolic and extreme. Our recess wasn’t quite that feral. We never completely descended into Lord of the Flies territory. Still though, compared to the later generations, it was more than little like this.
