I worked at a Fashion Bug in the mid-90s. The only things I remember are cap-sleeve dresses with princess seams and a very enthusiastic penchant for combining taupe and navy. 

Fashion Bug in my hometown was located in the same plaza as KMart and Waldbaums. RIP, stores.

And I imagine your tone was much kinder when you told them to get off your lawn, no?

And did you find a corresponding rise in affection for the shenanigans of those young rapscallions?

Hey, the Baby Boomers may have been objectively the most criminal generation in American history. They may have done more drugs, had more unprotected sex and teenage pregnancies, but no one ever recorded them being bad at or bitching about menial minimum wage jobs. No sir!

True. And of course the Boomers went through their spin with this in the 60's. The thing is, we can very clearly track this pattern (hell, there is an example somewhere where ancient Greek philosophers were bitching about kids these days what with their fancy ‘writing things down rather than committing everything to…

Right? The ‘Me Generation’ if I recall! Every generation’s parent is THE most selfish generation evarrr, isn’t it funny how that always works out too?

We went through the exact same amount of “GenX is the worst” thinkpieces in our day. Every generation has to take its turn!

I do. And I hear a lot of ‘kids these days’ shit too. If it was tempered with ‘back in the day... I did some really stupid shit that is very similar to what you’re doing now, learn from my fuck ups’ then it would be one thing, but like I said, rose colored glasses. A lot of the ‘back in my day’ stuff I hear is then…

Well that makes you more self-aware than a lot of older folks. There’s plenty of people that look back at their misbegotten youth with the rosiest of rose colored glasses and you couldn’t pull an admission that they were ever dumb-ass, insufferable little shits once upon a time, out of them with a damn Sherman tank. 

As well-intentioned as this diatribe was, it felt like O’Rourke was trying to cram every single talking point he could into a place where he was really just being asked about his own behavior and choices.

Some would describe this kind of anticlimactic result as more evidence that video replay is a scourge which must be eradicated across sports; others, arguing an opposing view, are weenies.

I have read that people born in the seventies and early eighties might want to consider getting checked for MMR antibodies, as we may not have gotten the same bulletproof series of two shots that millennials got.

Hi, you can possibly get a serum test / titer test that looks for antibodies to measles etc. This may or may not be more or less expensive than just getting the shot again. I don’t have a spleen, so I can’t get a second booster as the MMR is a live virus, which makes it dangerous to the immunocompromised. So we’re…

Thank God you guys keep McKenna around so you can have an actual grown-up write stuff about racing.

I watch Santa Anita racing pretty regularly, so I knew Pratt was a pretty good jockey. I talked my sister into betting on Country House to win, even though she wanted to be on another horse. When the race ended, she started ragging me;then the stewards sign came up. She stopped and ran to her computer. She started…

As with any kind of complex policy, it’s difficult to prove direct causation, but some people who’ve been looking at it have observed that horses don’t have to pass any background checks to purchase handguns in the United States.

Yup. Men who like women as people are the most desirable.

I know I am in the greys but I have experience to share that might be beneficial. I trained and rode horses for many years in a jurisdiction that allowed horse slaughter and had a thriving racing industry. I rode and trained A LOT of off track horses. I trained them to be pleasure riding horses, ‘bomb proof’ so a kid…
