Title: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Merusk on June 02, 2008, 02:07:58 PM Op-Ed piece from the LA Times, featured on "Talk of the Nation" today.
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-op-daum25-2008may25,0,4227776.story In essence: "We get it, there's a lot of you and oh yeah things just aren't the way they were. We don't need to hear about every year of your teens for the next 10 years. Shut up or die already." I expect even more of this sentiment next year, as we hit the 40th anniversary of 1969. Just like we heard tons of this crap back in 1999 in between the "OMG WE"RE GOING TO DIE TO Y2K!!" stories. Just thought I'd share. Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Signe on June 02, 2008, 02:42:39 PM I wish the echo boomers would shut up about themselves, too. They're even more annoying. Little bastards.

Perhaps if I start drinking now and don't sober up until 2010...? Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers!

Post by: Merusk on June 03, 2008, 12:47:44 PM One would have to be familiar with the guitar to form an opinion there. Alas, my hands are much too small to play anything but a ukulele, and you don't get the girls with a ukulele.

Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Pennilenko on June 03, 2008, 12:52:39 PM Are you a wee leprechaun? Because, sure as shit......leprechauns get the chicks. :grin: Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Merusk on June 03, 2008, 12:56:35 PM Are you a wee leprechaun? I don't wear enough green.. and I lack a pot of gold. I just have small, girly hands. My ring size is like a 10. Makes delicate repair work a fucking snap, though, as I don't have sausage-fingers that get in the way. Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Ookii on June 03, 2008, 01:00:56 PM Ah a thread where the ambiguity of people's ages will forever vanish. I remember the day I found out Nebu is 500 years old.

Post by: Merusk on June 03, 2008, 01:05:05 PM Ah, but Paul can play the guitar AND the ukulele.. and does the ukulele as a bit of camp. Tiny Tim was a ukulele player.
Yeah. Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Aez on June 03, 2008, 01:33:01 PM Alas, my hands are much too small to play anything but a ukulele, and you don't get the girls with a ukulele. Bah. I wanted to laugh at your expense with a penis joke but the first link I found was that : http://www.snopes.com/risque/penile/size.asp (http://www.snopes.com/risque/penile/size.asp) Good for you I guess. Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Furiously on June 04, 2008, 04:11:26 PM Hmmm - I can't get enough....

Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Rishathra on June 04, 2008, 07:57:37 PM She's beautiful, but why is she wearing eight pounds of makeup in every photoshoot I've ever seen of her? I'll have to take your word for it that the eyes are dead, as I can't see them through the eyeshadow.
Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Samwise on June 04, 2008, 08:04:33 PM She's much hotter in no makeup and a flightsuit.

Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Mrbloodworth on June 05, 2008, 12:59:03 PM She needs a sandwich.
Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Nebu on June 05, 2008, 01:13:49 PM She needs a sandwich. She needs a pile of sandwiches... The diet of cocaine and pilates (without the pilates) isn't doing her well. Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Merusk on June 05, 2008, 01:23:34 PM She needs a sandwich. She needs a pile of sandwiches... The diet of cocaine and pilates (without the pilates) isn't doing her well. I'm amassing enough of these I can almost cover every occasion.

I think I am deeply in lust.
Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Tebonas on June 06, 2008, 06:40:59 AM So true, so very true.
When I was younger I thought super thin models looked so boyish because people selecting them have a thing for boys. Then I realized thinking that wouldn't be nice and I stopped myself.

I would however be more than happy to feed her. :drill: Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: murdoc on June 06, 2008, 08:31:09 AM Holy Hell, that Curves girl is HOT.
Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: Ironwood on June 10, 2008, 01:49:19 AM Agree.
Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: MrHat on June 10, 2008, 03:37:07 AM Also agree.
Reminds me of Friday Night Lights chick: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1597316/ She has a scene in a bathing suit. Title: Re: Enough with the Boomers! Post by: K9 on June 10, 2008, 10:52:38 AM Obligatory Ukuleles are serious business (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXVdNKciP94&feature=related)
