My point was basically just that they liked just as much crap as the folks they derided as clueless sheeple. But you know, whatevs.

Only, you know… Nirvana didn't kill hair metal no matter how often they said that in Rolling Stone and on MTV News. They just helped hair metal slowly decline like Spinal Tap without Nigel Tufnel. A lot of those bands had lengthy careers playing crappy gigs like state fairs and Knitting Factory-type venues.

It occurred to me a while ago that the space suit could have been an MTV reference. That's something else that a pop culture web site writer should have figured out.

I'm a Gen Xer (just barely) and he probably hates all my favorite stuff too. If we had to call him anything, it's probably more like pretentious 35-year-old.

Our recollections are definitely different. I remember a lot of people who were so used to assuming they were right about everything that they would state things that were completely wrong based on faulty memories because they couldn't be bothered to open another browser tab and check Google. And they got away with…

It had its moments, unless you had people treating you like a racist cop from Ferguson because you still liked Parks and Recreation, or didn't hate Mumford and Sons as much as them or something.

Thanks for the warning.

I was in college in '98 and '99. Young people listened to all sorts of horrible music, but what the Commish said is accurate.

I was about to say the same thing. Back in high school, I knew people who loved the Weasel. And a disturbingly large number of people loved Son-in-Law.

And Woodstock anniversary festivals, and the H.O.R.D.E. Tour, and the Vans Warped Tour, and Lilith Fair….

Me too, quite frankly.

Back when Keith Phipps was around, they were weirdly snobbish about everything and talked a lot about how they only liked Quality Television (with the pretentious capital letters), which was basically hour-long cable dramas mostly—but that definition expanded to include shows they just liked for some reason such as…

Okay, that part about God hating Smash Mouth was pretty darn funny.

"Perhaps I woke up on the wrong side of the generation gap this morning."

That is a good question about the rifle. If his Mauser Gewehr 98 was made after 1905, they still make the 8mm Mauser (7.92 mm x 57) ammo for it according to Wikipedia. Still, the arms dealer's daughter probably gave him some bullets. It's not like he went to Wal-Mart and got lucky.

Exactly. He got the rifle from an arms dealer. Presumably, he and his daughter had better options available. That Mauser Gewehr 98 probably has plenty of stopping power, but from what I've been reading Eph would have been better off with a .30-30 (easy to shoot, easy to hit what you're aiming at, easy to find ammo…

If Dutch dies or gets turned, I'm probably done watching this show. She is one of my favorite characters.

Jesus told people to tell others about Christianity. So, there's a conflict right there for anybody who is concerned about the state of your immortal soul. You can't be a good Christian and never share the gospel with anybody.

Patton Oswalt starts typing an angry response to his haters, gets a call from his wife half-way through and insists on dropping everything to take the call. Then he comes back later and rants about Bill Cosby and Ferguson. Then he says something about how much fun he has talking to his friends on the phone and how…
