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.

I wish the echo boomers would shut up about themselves, too.  They're even more annoying.  Little bastards.

Damn you for reminding me I turn 40.  Perhaps if I start drinking now and don't sober up until 2010...?

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.

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.

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.

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.

She needs a pile of sandwiches... The diet of cocaine and pilates (without the pilates) isn't doing her well.

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.
