Weed was almost invisible in 1962 and ubiquitous in 1966, in or out of the Army.

Smoked weed at 13 in 1965 and grew up in a small town 25 miles outside of Washington DC..Weed was very available in Jr High and High schools in 1965.

O come on, not knowing the beatles is like knowing who James Buchanan is.

Sorry, man, but I had to.

You're still a kid or you'd know that taking a good hard leak in a steaming hot shower is the best part of the day.

Xer Ping

Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effect Gen-Reagan/Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

Two of my ex-classmates are already dead. One commited suicide and the other (who I once dated), fell and had a severe concussion.

Try these on for size:
They have never known roc stars with big hair.
They don't remember Guns 'n' Roses.
Their kindergarten may have had internet connectivity.
Their MOTHERS were quite likely too young to watch SNL when it first aired.
Brittney Spears seems like an old woman to them.

Two lines I quote frequently in everyday life: "Grab a brew. Don't cost nothin'."

"(insert my real name) Damn glad to meet you!

The plots aren't even similar. Van Wilder is more of a modern update to Animal House.

Family Ties was good stuff.

(I also liked Old School...cough cough)

You are my boy blue!

Hey, one of the people I work with is about 21 or 22 and he never heard of Richard Pryor. Now I know that I am getting old. LOL

[Clemenza]

My dad was a big Pryor fan. I, of course, knew him from "The Toy" with Master Bates.

Will Farrell was good at times in the movie. Elf was a better film.

Will Farrell did great, Ed Asner (much as I despise him) did a great Santa. Bob Newhart did a heartbreakingly good performance as "Father Elf" who does his best for the orphan boy but realizes he can never be an elf no matter how hard he tries. The real revelation was Zooey Deschanel as our hero's love interest. That voice! She really did do her own singing. I still can't believe she does not have a record contract. It would have been awesome if she could have recorded an album of the big band numbers for the D-Day anniversary/WWII memorial festivities. That girl was born to sing the classics.

I attend a school with around 500 people, and it still takes 2 hours to "confirm registration" every semester by standing in line waiting to see all the offices.

Utter madness.
