As a GenX-er, I'll be really old when that happens. And when it does, Millennials (mostly children of Boomers and an even larger age cohort) will be middle aged and pining over the stuff that's big today-ish.

Short answer: Baby Boomers. Also true of the Kennedys.

That's a good one and, from a parent's perspective, that's about how fast childhood goes too.

When my mom worked as a dog groomer she used alum and stypic pencils for any time she accidentally clipped a dog's toenails too short. Also works if you accidentally nick yourself while manicuring or shaving.

I find that origin of the term "asshole" as an epithet pretty specious. Assholes are associated with shitting, that's why it's an insult. There's no connotation of femininity with calling someone an asshole. In fact, alpha males might be more likely to receive it.

I don't know about that. It's probably better if there's one of each in a relationship so that the household doesn't go broke or live in misery.

I had to ease up on pop in my thirties after pretty regular consumption from childhood on. For me, the phosphoric acid was really hard on my joints. I get stiff/crunchy knees and shoulders. Nothing tragic, but painful and annoying.

I hear you. There has to be some almighty break in your psychology to, for example, send soldiers out to kill and die. How else could you send irreplaceable individuals into the slaughter? Once those lights go out, they can never come back on.

Well "calling a hoe a hoe" makes it one syllable, but presents a whole other array of problems.

Yep. I used to love horror movies, all that shit. Cannot do it now. Not even for the campiest, corniest slasher — I just naturally think about how much the bimbo in the booty shorts' parents will miss her, how devastated they will be.

The Shins have a new album out and James Mercer (the singer/songwriter/creator of The Shins) has said in interviews that this same sensitivity change happened to him when he had kids, and it influenced the way he sees the whole world. Also, it's in a lot of his newer songs.

It would be nice if people could change the expression to "call a shovel a shovel" or whatever... "call a hammer a hammer", but I don't suppose that's too likely.

Really? Are you from a part of the world where "spade" is the more common term for "shovel"?

So Rhianna is letting us know that she's bad, and not a role model. In other words, we have a new Charles Barkley.

Hey, just because a guy can't commit to a lady and has a Longtime Companion that he doesn't talk about much doesn't mean you can go jumping to conclusions.

So you're saying the Christian God is a lifelong bachelor who gets grossed out by vaginas. Hmm..... seems to me I've heard about fellows like that here on Earth.

Could be. But even if it is a still shot from a porno (maybe it's set in a doctor's office?) the shot itself isn't inherently sexual.

I'm always stripped, but wearing a gown. And if my feet are in the stirrups my butt is practically hanging off the edge, not seated comfortably. Not sure how they run the clinic in Stock Photo Town, though.

Especially to Mary, and Baby Jesus. If there's one thing that's definitely not associated with women and childbirth, it's something smutty like a vagina.

Y'know the woman in the picture is just nude, not doing anything particularly sexual. In fact, from the white paper covering she's sitting on, it looks like she's at the doctor's office. Are her feet up in stirrups?
