  1. I’m amazed that our country as a whole still gives a shit about Iowa. And I’m not just talking about last night’s caucuses.
  2. It’s hard for his dick to get much smaller.
  3. But his Weekly Wednesday newsletters gave us so much joy.
  4. I was 33 when Superbad came out. I laughed like a 14-year-old and my sides were hurting. Go figure.
  5. So we don’t have a bullshit plaque that Richard Nixon “awarded” the Longhorns? Bummer.
  6. Don’t really care, ex has the kids. I’ll be in the office bright and early.
  7. It might be a generational thing, because I had just graduated from law school when the movie came out in theaters, and I thought it was good but not great, and the the actors all felt so young to me. But I imagine that if it came out my senior year in high school I’d have probably seen it six times in the theaters.
  8. Same for me, except that it came out two years before I started high school. Most of us didn’t see it in the theaters, but by the time we were in high school we were repeatedly renting it from Blockbuster or watching it on HBO. Yeah, even back then parts of it seemed a little over dramatic to me (like a lot of movies), but we all related to the characters and what they were going through.
  9. See, this is why the North won the Civil War.
  10. Look, coming off a long winter break these teachers really need to ease into the Spring semester with another four-day week.
  11. Two years like Mitchell, but if he has a season like Mitchell just had, he’s going pro.
  12. Way to go out on a limb there.
  13. You could work those math problems with them, Super Dad.
  14. Well then I love The English Patient!
  15. See above analysis for why The Outsiders doesn’t fit. A movie about 1960’s high-schoolers isn’t really Generation X in my humble yet correct opinion, even though it came out when a chunk of Gen X-ears were in high school.
  16. I love Dazed and Confused, but it’s an odd fit to be considered a Generation X film. Gen X’ers (the real Greatest Generation) are largely considered to have been born in the 1965-1980 range. The film came out in 1993, when most of Generation X was out of high school (I was a sophomore in college). It was set in 1976, when the oldest of Generation X was 12-13, not quite in high school. So for the most part the viewing audience and the characters in the time setting of the film aren’t really Generation X. My nerdy analysis, for what it’s worth.
