Let's see, in the last while I've seen a lot of 80s styles back:

Men's glasses also reached ridiculous diameters during the 80s. And usually they were glass lenses, since plastic ones used to scratch up really badly - no high index/scratch resistance in those days. They were so heavy it was like wearing a bar-bell on your face.

Hey, nostalgia is nothing but looking at the past with rose coloured glasses. If you don't want to be nostalgic about the same things I am, that's ok with me! I'm also nostalgic for corded phones, gum that was made to look like cigarettes, and Argentina in the 70s, which was my childhood, despite brutal dictatorships

Yes! A viable 3rd option!

I have really conflicted feelings when it comes to arguing with fanatics of any ilk. On the one hand, it seems like arguing provides a validation to their point of view. On the other, someone has to call them out on their crap. The current "controversy" espoused by young earth creationists is a prime example of this.

Thank you for the laugh, I needed it today!

Oh, don't even get me started on gluten intolerance!

I think I'll buy a Crunchy for my wife on the way home.

If aliens came right now, and based on this, decided that humanity must not be allowed to continue, and vaporize Earth to its constituent atoms.... I'm not sure I would blame them.

So they believe they have the luxury of becoming antivaxxers. They don't stop to think "hey, the reason all these horrible diseases are not

I miss the excitement of catching your favorite shows, before VCRs, PVRs, etc. If you missed it there were no second chances!

I think zombies embody many modern fears: collapse of civilization (as someone else said), dehumanization, fear of disease/pandemic, being helplessly swept up in things totally out of our control.

Ruined?? I can't think of a better use for a weekend!

My wife and I were dating when that episode aired, and her reaction was the same as Elaine's "It shrinks??"

As I scrolled down, all I saw were the words "I just came here" and Michael Jackson's face. The bottom words were cut off.... "ewwwwww" was my thought.

The last story sounds like the inspiration for so many movies' "oh it's just a cat" scene!

Oh B, how I've missed your gif!

Now I feel bad for laughing at all those cows.
