Boomers love to complain about their cable bill but never actually cut it.

Framboise posted:It was a lousy time of my life (I have no idea how boomers pine for those years, I was miserable), and revisiting it would have sucked anyway. Drunk driving, teenage pregnancy, and cigs at a quarter a pack. It was the apex of teenage debauchery so of course they had fun. I really think it is impossible to quantify how much Boomers loved to drive drunk. MADD was considered radical in the 1980’s for asking people not to do it.

I knew someone who would microwave a bowl of butter and just drink it. I don't know if this is typical of boomers or just psychopaths but I choose to believe yes

I actually went to my ten year high school anniversary. I found the experience pretty fun,in spite of having a really unpleasant high school experience. I dunno, I guess knowing it was ten years behind you is helpful. That and periodically learning that the people who tormented me badly in high school all committed suicide or died of drug overdoses over the years.

The movie "something's gotta give" Go read the plot synopsis and immediately realize why boomers bought this movie in droves when it came out on DVD.

What the gently caress is going on with this movie Nicholson is dating some 25 year old, then falls in love with her mom and the mom is totally on board with being dick sisters with her own daughter, while she ignores Keanu Reeves, who wants to get with her? Fuuuuuuuuck this Also, why was Nicholson a sex symbol during that time period? I remember being dragged to have to see As Good As It Gets, and it was fuckin’ boring as hell.

i run a landscaping company and boomers like to call me thinking im their municipal forestry department. actually is quite a loss for me because it'll take them like 3-5 minutes of long winded poo poo to explain their needs, and then they get mad at me when I explain that i'm not the City and I can't just prune and treat trees in a city park

When class officer elections were held in high school, many of them ran on the campaign that a) this position somehow extended beyond high school and b) because of eternally being class treasurer that our reunions would be the best ever. The person who won the presidency on that type of campaign now lives 1,000 miles away. Thankfully, no one else seems to care to organize a reunion, either. This was one of the milestone years. Or maybe they have and didn't bother trying to contact me. That scenario is even better.

I had my wife send back a high school reunion invitation with a note that I'd been shot to death in a botched liquor store robbery. I don't really give a gently caress if someone believed it or not, but at least they don't bother sending them any more.

I've never received any invites and it's been 20 years.

I did not go to my 10-year reunion, and it seems like only about 5 people attended and they all still live in my hometown so definitely dodged a bullet there

Nicholson's best movie outside of The Shining is "The Witches of Eastwick" because his sleazy sex appeal and ability to seduce in spite of a woman's better judgment is a major plot point.

Say what you want about Nicholson, but he was pulling women 40 years younger IRL at that time.

I'm not throwing shade. Dude has charisma to burn and it was really smart of the movie to explore that kind-of man who can get beautiful, intelligent women to throw themselves under him. Almost any other actor at that time wouldn't have been able to pull it off. It turns to poo poo in the third act but the first two are really quite good.

The person who won the presidency on that type of campaign now lives 1,000 miles away. Thankfully, no one else seems to care to organize a reunion, either. This was one of the milestone years. We had a group in our class that were really smart, made all As but were total class clowns. Around 10th grade we all knew "conduct grades" were bull poo poo and would not keep you out of getting accepted to any school. Now the kids weren't too bad I guess but what can you really say when a 11th or 12th grade kids are getting all As in Advance program classes? This pissed off one of our counselors to no end. She had tried calling the parents of the "ring leaders" but was met with "My kid gets all As and who cares if he's a smart rear end? Stop calling me at work for bullshit". So 12th class elections roll around and this group decides to run for office and wins all seats. Of course we want the party people in charge of planning prom, homecoming, etc. So the Counselor (a Boomer) basically told us the election was rigged or someone cheated because there's no way these people should have won. "THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT WILL PLAN YOUR REUNIONS!!!", she screamed from the stage and all we did was laugh. A few days later a new ballot was handed out and this time there was a new group attached. Except these kids were ones that hardly ever spoke in class, much less to each other but they somehow won in a landslide. Live Free posted:I did not go to my 10-year reunion, and it seems like only about 5 people attended and they all still live in my hometown so definitely dodged a bullet there My class had a 10 year but I didn't got and I don't think most did. For our 20 year there was a facebook group but you had 4 or 5 people trying to wrestle control of the event and every idea was horrible. I think it was eventually held on a Friday night, in town. From the pictures I saw, 8 people showed up. One guy commented, "That was so fun! Let's do it every year!"

I missed my 10 year reunion because I was unemployed and living in Kansas, so I couldn't really afford to fly back to Seattle. The 20 was this year and I missed it because my roommate was having surgery, and someone needed to stay home and watch the cats. As the years go on, I kinda want to see what happened to some of these people, but on the other hand, they mostly sucked anyway. I guess the organizer for the 20 tried to get my info from my friend, and I told him to tell them I died; he didn't tell them I died.
