I was born a little late for that movie myself and I still get it.
That's one sneaky thing I like about the Millennial generation: thanks to the Internet, they can assimilate all the other generations' pop culture. Resistance is futile.

Yeah? Well how about you assimilate wearing real shoes, huh? How about that. Those shower shoes you all wear out in public? All kinds of wrong.

People wear shower shoes in public? What are shower shoes? Who wears shoes in the shower? So many questions from one small post...

Morning, Lodge!

Heading to TX this weekend for my niece's graduation. She had a full ride scholarship, finished college with honors, now on to med school. Good looking girl, the world at her fingertips, right?

So why is she dating a loser for a year now? This guy never pays for dates, has no ambition, and very little in the looks department. I can't fault the kid for wanting to hang on to her, though! My brother in law's going crazy, but the more he criticizes the guy, the more my niece wants to "save" him. Her first serious boyfriend. That old story.

I can't wait for my daughters to get to dating age!

In all fairness, is she asking for the dates? Usually the person who asks for the date pays for the date.

The guy pays. Exceptions: Long-term relationship, where both parties are very comfortable with each other, and have agreed to share the costs ahead of time. And, guy doesn't know what the **** he's doing, or he's a tool. Another possible exception, is if the girl insists on paying, but this only counts if the guy puts in some effort to actually pay, but gets shot down.

A bit old-fashioned, are we? Or have you always been asking for dates?

Old fashioned. And the guy is almost always the one to ask the girl out, so I've been the one asking for dates also.

They're cheap flip flop sandals that people buy to wear when using public showers - like those in the dorms, health clubs or truck stop showers.

I don't have that info, but thanks for making me feel so old!

I'm not so old school as to think that the lady should never ask for a date, but I am old school enough to think that she should never pay for it.

Sounds like it's time for your brother to have a heart-to-heart with the boyfriend . . . . while cleaning his shotgun.

I wouldn't call that old fashioned, but rather sexist.

Only bulldykes like RWD would think that is sexist. The rest of us call it common courtesy.

Oh, never heard of them. I didn't wear any sandles or anything like that when I had to shower in the dorms. Didn't hurt me.

Funny you should say this, because he has (though it was a pistol)! He also looked up his more aggressive options, but unfortunately, according to Texas law you can't kill a man unless he really needs killin'.

This a whole 'nother can of worms, but the way I see it, playing nature's given role is not sexist. Man tries to take the city, woman defends the walls - until she's ready to open the gate. It ever was, and ever will be.

Man is the hunter; woman is his game:
The sleek and shining creatures of the chase,
We hunt them for the beauty of their skins...

Tennyson? You of all people are quoting Tennyson's poetry? I strictly had you figured as a "There-once-was-a-man-from-Nantucket" kind o'chap.

That was Tennyson, too.

I was: a) busting Twitch for getting "voice of his generation"-ish; b) being get-off-my-lawn-ish, getting cranky at (and making fun of) the young folks who think flip-flops are shoes, perfectly acceptable in weddings, offices, White House visits, etc., rather than what they are, which is for wearing in public showers or to the beach. Mostly a) .

Funny. Last week my girlfriend was trying to get me to buy some new shoes, they had holes in them. Holes manufactured into them. I told her that I have perfectly good shoes that have no holes in them, and she said that they're sandals. Well they weren't like any sandals I've seen.

Reminds me of "designer stores" that sell $250 pairs of jeans that are essentially ripped.

I own a pair of (probably knock-off) Crocs. They're my "run outside and take out the trash" shoes. They were $10 at Freddie's. Don't judge me.
