The other day, I heard some 19ish people who I sometimes hang out with go into a 'kids today' rant. They were well into it before they realized that I was laughing hysterically. Indignantly, they insisted that THEY were not like these kids! They were talking about OTHER KIDS!

Yeah. I didn't tell the person, but next to 'm in the WPO sorta smelled like nasty Ellis-Island subsistance-diet farts.
