@Mike_Jahn: You're right, there certainly are some kick-ass old people out there. And Newsweek probably bores the shit out of them.

@ donmiguel: You can spend the rest of that Social Security money on the high grade ocular bleaching your going to end up needing if you continue your crash course in this line of research.

@In Other News...:
Those were rubbers which, when I was your age, I wore over me dingus.

@JessicaLovejoy: Stars & Dykes Forever!: Just discovered goatse -- the description alone will require brain drano to remove. What the heck is a lemon party? I am too afraid to google. Also, where do I apply for social security payments -- I'm clearly referentially ancient.

My mother, who is 92 this year, turned me on to the Beat poets when I was 13, is the only one I know who has actually read Finnegan's Wake,, protested the Vietnam War, can snark with the best ("when you're done climbing the mountain can you fix the fence?), and lately has been casting envious eyes at my laptop ("that is the most wonderful invention"). Only failing eyesight forestalls theft. So let's not be too quick to judge someone who is old even by mu standards.

In one week alone, my father has learned what Wiki is, asked me about webcams and what "BTW" means. I fear what will happen two weeks from now: "Favorite daughter, what is goatse? What exactly is a lemon party? What is this bit about two girls and a cup?"

@ In Other News...: Wait now. You wore totes over your shoes? I thought they were those anklet sock-thingies with rubber lines on the soles that the friendly staff at the psych ward dresses you up in upon admission.

When I was your age, "totes" was an umbrella.

"...pretty young things prepping for fame, not life, such as Jake, who says, 'The whole MySpace thing is a good warm-up for when I'm really famous.'"

Sorta like the whole Gawker thing being such a wholesome stretch exercise for when I blow my first book contract for a "true story" about whoring out my Stuyvesant students to journalists and documentarians?

Nah. Just "prepping" for life.

When is Newsweek finally going to break down and just go all large-print, anyway? It's like a cheat-sheet for the "You damn kids, get off my lawn!" set.
