Baby Boomers

Not being a boomer myself, this might be a tad insensitive -

But that phrase has always sounded like a polite euphemism for an immediate need to change baby's diapers.

My mother would KILL me if I sent that to her.

I'm tempted, though. Sorely.

No sound card at work, but I didn't need one. I knew exactly what song was playing in the background.

Ain't it the truth? Ain't it the truth?

That was funny!

And yes I am a Baby boomer.

I don't get it.

I didn't either for a moment, then realized I had to "Press here to start."

It's a funny clip, only now I'll have Steppenwolf's song etched on my brain for a while.

I'm so young that I'm not even a Gen X kid... I'm a Millennial.

Oh yeah. How ya doin, old folks?

Completely entertaining!

Mayhaps that's because I'm young enough to enjoy the humour


It is also noteworthy that (plastic surgery aside) it seems to match many AWers...
(also, what's the AARP?)

I'm guessing you must be Scottish?

It's an organization that old people in the US join when they get old. The AARP sends them information on how to deal with being old and what benefits they get for being old.

Being old, or oldish, isn't all that bad. We get to sit around in our rockers watching younger folks make the silliest mistakes imaginable, and comment, "Geez, even I wasn't that stupid at their age."

We've lived a good chunk of our lives and are well past just about everything the younger set will have to deal with in their lives... thankfully. Just think of all the heartaches and trauma and headaches you still have to endure; and remember, there's no guarantee you'll live to be even half our age.

The next time you walk past an old geezer, pat him or her on the back instead of poking them with a stick.

Uh, at 49 and a half years of age, they sent me a membership solicitation. So that's old? I can't even take early retirement for 11 more years.

*sigh*

OMG!!!! That was amazing!! ...and the sad part is that earlier today I tore the Bi-cep muscle off my arm playing basket ball with a bunch of guys 20 years younger than me. I'am that cartoon,,,,,,uuugggg

It's entirely possible, Don. I was born in Illinois (Chanute A.F.B near Rantoul) in July of '57

Blame dawno for everything that happened after July 57.

including my birth.

Oh shut up.


I get those booklets in the mail.

Dog, that was hilarious.
And yes, I am old enough to know the original Steppenwolf tune. It's a favorite.

I'm just waiting for the day I can get Medicare and not worry about my sore whatever.

It's not the kids that annoy me, it's the generations between me and them.
