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.

Oh yes. I am very much a grognard. I started play Dungeons & Dragons in 1977 with the Holmes edition of Basic D&D. And, yes again. I do have dice older than you in all likelihood. Hellfire! I’ve got dice older than some – probably most – of your parents. 😛
Oh, and I do still have dice just like those from the old game sets when that was the only way you could get dice other than 6-sided.

Explaining Millennials is easy. And, by this, I mean explaining their existence and commonness in America, not why they are like they are. The explanation is easy – Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill. 😆 I swear to Silenus, Strawberry Hill resulted in more Millennial births than anything else, though those damn wine coolers accounted for a lot of the later Millennials.
But, my fellow Gen Xers, lets not be too prideful. A damn lot of us are here due to: Andre’s Cold Duck, Mateus, and Lancers. 😉

You young’uns will never understand. And, you should be the thankful that Gen X seems to have been last generation that was generally exposed to this sort of horror. You were never exposed to – and expected to eat – these eldritch monstrosities known as “jello salads.” You never had to and probably never will have to smile at the “church ladies” while trying to choke down some horrific combination of jello, mayonnaise, meat and vegetables.
We are not the same!
Frankly, I think those church lunches, socials, and picnics – all rife with these hellish concoctions – did more for the Atheists’ cause than anything the Democrats did. 😆

Recognize this promo pic? I’d do. If you do as well, you’re probably an old grognard like me. Then, we had the best children’s TV, didn’t we? Yeah, Ark II was awesome. And, it was insofar as I know the progenitor of the entire Post Apocalypse genre of speculative fiction.
