-The Natural Consequence of Looking Younger than You Are-

You can infiltrate a gathering of young people until you out yourself with knowledge of the eighties.

Last night, it was early nineties knowledge that did it. Curmudgeons everywhere should worry more about short memories than short skirts. When an MC in the 25-35 age bracket addresses a crowd with "Does anyone remember 'The State'?" You would think several attendees, even those skewing toward a 18-25 bracket might remember something about the sketch comedy group.

The MC looked so alone up there.
"I remember!" I shout,
and he rejoins with
"Iwannadipmyballzinit!"

I've got to stop helping others.
