Could even dispel the myth that we're all just a bunch of disaffected middle-aged white guys slouching around in our pajamas.

Some of us are disaffected middle-aged black women slouching around in our pajamas.

I often have to remind our undergrads and younger grad students that not everyone over 28 is technically inept. You'd be surprised by the ageism displayed by these students - inlcuding those who want to go into senior centers and bring technology to 'old folks.' Truly patronizing.

Here's a new twist my sister heard on Halloween. Her husband complained that she was handing out crummy candy (Nerds, Bottlecaps, SweetTarts, etc.) She said that was what the kids liked. The reason she knew this was that last year she overheard some of the kids complaining about getting Almond Joys at one house, because it is "OLD PEOPLE'S CANDY!" LOL!

This has nothing to do with blogging, but your remark about the difference in generations reminded me of this, so I thought I'd stick it in this thread.
