Cool! I work at Yellowstone National Park, where it was about 20 below (F) this morning. I guess I just assumed Canadian winters were even worse.

Considering what Canadian winter is like I think you should have a holiday every other week from November till May. Thanks for the clarification!

The fact that there is an actual holiday called Family Day in Canada is pretty amazing.

They should get the exact same treatment that the French Vichy collaborators got for, and for the exact same reasons.

Trump vs Biden will turn into the political equivalent of two senile grandpas wrestling on the lawn over whose alma mater has better ‘spirit’ while the rest of the neighborhood shakes their heads in disgust and then goes home for some serious drinking.

Well, actually it DOES matter how (all those qualities you named, plus senile and pathologically narcissistic) you are. Because those are exactly the ‘qualities’ that got him elected.

A couple choruses of Kumbayah should do the trick.

It’s very entertaining to me that Murdoch-- who married Mick Jagger’s ex-wife and acquired one of Mick’s daughters as a stepchild-- has quietly begun supporting, at least financially, a move to finally get the Equal Rights Amendment ratified. Supposedly this is the result of Lizzie Jagger’s influence/nagging, and the…

It’s definitely no “Cat Ballou”.

Not me. Because I was born under a wandering star.

Consultants... people who get paid to tell other people how to do stuff they’re unwilling or unable to actually do themselves, then cash the check and move on before anyone gets to see whether their ideas will actually work. Yep, that’s exactly what the Democrats need more of again this year.

One day someone will write a movie where he and Joaquin Phoenix transform into each other.

To say “I’m old” is describing myself as an individual. Saying “I’m an old” is describing myself as a member of a group. (Can you tell that both of my parents were English professors?)

They’re going to be here in Louisiana at Jazzfest in a few weeks to kick off their latest tour, so yeah I’m pretty sure they’re still alive.

Have seen them 41 times starting with the Hyde Park memorial for Brian Jones in 1969. To this day hearing the cowbell intro at the beginning of ‘Honky Tonk Women’ is a better rush than any other piece of music I’ve ever heard. There might be more technically proficient musicians out there, but nobody embodies…

This was the greatest rock’n’roll album ever made. Period.

One day in the not-too-distant future history students will look at excerpts from this speech, and the fawning frenzy of the idiots cheering it, and say “This was the moment when the American republic died”.

I guess I’m trying to use the vernacular I see used here most often. I’m 64 and trying to expand my repertoire beyond versions of “Get off my lawn”.If there’s another term that’s more appropriate than old I’m happy to use it. And you’re always welcome on my yard if you’re the delivery person from the weed store!

I am a fellow old and I say by all means Google this. That way when some 25-year-old wants to whine at you about how the boomers are all selfish trash who ruined the world for them, you can feel justified in telling them to go fuck themself.
