Reflections From a Murky Pond

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.

Moors, Saracens, Mongols – they all fucked around with Christendom and they all found out. FAFO is the history of the West. Some sorts these days, especially ones in the West who should know better, need to remember this. Or not. It is what it is, and we’ve plenty of ammo and a growing acceptance of the returned need to use it.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up Gen X’s idea of fire equipment. If and when a fire breaks out, we’re far more likely to start toasting marshmallows than flee or fight it. I’d say that we were past caring, but I’m not sure we ever really cared in the first place. We’re born and raised to just watch world burn.

And, more importantly, we expected the world the burn. Remember, every single individual Gen Xer alive at this moment has outlived their life expectancy and their own expectation of being alive.
