I Just Had to Share This
On having a laugh at ourselves at year’s end
In this (now past) Christmas spirit of helping you stay merry just before the Christmas credit card bills roll in- and even Shaunta Grimes may not make enough to pay them all off in one month- I stumbled on a delightful article this morning that I just hafta share.
We as a society are obsessed with year-end listicles. Usually it’s about Famous People We Lost (and won’t miss much), or the Biggest Hits of 2019.
This one is ever so much better. Because The Guardian assembled a bunch of funny-smart mostly Millennial writers to take a very large poke at the dumb shit we did this past decade. Please, that would include all us Boomers who want so very badly not only to be woke but With It, as we used to say, being carried along by Very Stupid Trends (like ugly orthotic shoes for example) and grotesquely over-priced athleisure clothing. Or clean eating, which is hilarious, because no matter what you put in your pie hole dude, your shit is still going to be filthy and stink. WTF man. Go eat a goddamned Snickers. Or, you could suck on a Tide Pod, which sure as hell would cleanse your insides, as well as clean your clock when you have to head to the ER.
