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. 😛

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. 😆

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.

I'm A Grognard

I'm A Grognard
Yes, I’m A Grognard

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

Explaining Millennials
Explaining Millennials

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. 😉
