January 29, 20232 yr Popular Post For me, it really hits home when I'm confused by the musical guests on SNL.
January 29, 20232 yr 1) You have to look up commonly used slang in the Urban Dictionary 2) Music that you listened to as a kid is now classic or worse, it's on the elevator Muzak. 3) You're watching golf. 4) You have no idea what the song or singer is on the commercial. 5) You have ever worn a pocket protector.

No on #5, but pretty much all of that other shit.
January 29, 20232 yr The pocket protector is a baseline. Like the Bog of Eternal Stench once it is upon you there's no way to escape it.

January 29, 20232 yr I watched America's got Talent and really enjoyed it. Yep, I'm variety show lame now.
January 29, 20232 yr I've never been cool. But I feel a lot better about myself when I see all the crazyass bullshit going on these days.

I think of the pocket protector nowadays as a piece of a costume, eg let's dress up like NASA Engineers during the Mercury years. Anybody worn one since sliderules left the building?
January 29, 20232 yr When my kids told me Van Halen is old music. Eddie will fucking wipe his ass with any of your fru-fru fuckers these days. But dad, he's dead, and David Lee Roth sucks. sonofabitch.

January 30, 20232 yr Just now, Scheiss Meister said: I never was cool, so no such epiphany for me. Same here. Nowadays young people seem happy to see me, but I think it's less "being cool" than "being interesting zoo animal."
January 30, 20232 yr There are grades within each group. For example, cool in the pocket protector group, to not cool in said group. Cool in the not cool group, and so on…

January 30, 20232 yr I always felt cool was a state of mind. People who are confident in what they are, no matter what they are, seemed to fly above it all.

The nicest, softest-spoken guy in our high school was also the stud linebacker/ wrestler. Homecoming king, all that. He too made it a point to hang out with the scrubs. Saw him throw a guy up against a locker for picking on a nerdy kid.
January 30, 20232 yr I love Aerial America. Like @Kennythetiger jut said, it's the perfect napping show and I mean that in the best way possible. I'm also kind of a dork when it comes to finding places I've been when they show them.

Almost all of them still live in the town, have gotten divorced and aren’t doing well financially. Needs rule
January 30, 20232 yr My kids keep my somewhat hip/cool to the culture compared to my peers, but I generally embarrass them by being uncool.
January 30, 20232 yr Never heard of Aerial America. Is it on PBS or something?The Smithsonian Channel.
January 30, 20232 yr When I don't fit into my Calvins and members only jacket anymore. Love Aerial America, Food Factory, How it's Made, How'd They Build That... All cool shows.
January 30, 20232 yr I was head banging to Whitesnake "Still of the Night" in HEB the other day. I don't know what that makes me...

I’ve seen every Aerial America at least five times. The Mighty Trains and Mighty Ships series are my current favorites of their newer stuff.
February 2, 20232 yr You're right about the air disasters. Outside of the most famous crashes, it doesn't really interest me that much. I think it was NatGeo that used to have a show called "Seconds from Disaster" that was awesome.
