  1. Way to go out on a limb there.
  2. You could work those math problems with them, Super Dad.
  3. Well then I love The English Patient!
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Yeah, the movies starts with scenes from high school. But There’s Something About Mary is not a high school movie.
  7. aggy: “Please stay, here’s $5 million!”
  8. I’d give the nod to John Hughes, who made a few high school movies that marked that era for the Gen X’ers – Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Weird Science, and The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club was pretty fucking edgy for that time.
  9. Ain’t reading all that shit, but welcome back!
  10. Strongly disagree: QB - Cold blooded killer RB - Deadly assassins WR - World class pimps OL - Merciless maulers TE - Will steal kids’ lunch money DL/DE - Rated “M” for mature audiences LB - A collection of prison shanks DB - Ninja jaywalkers ST- Our punter never sees the field We go 18-0 and never return our library books.
  11. He showed off his prized fanny pack to all 99 counties innIowa and he’s going to finish third.
  12. Good idea or bad idea to put my dishwasher on a delayed start to run in the middle of the night to keep warm water running through the pipes? Some on the internets recommend this.
  13. Why wouldn’t Bill Belicheck be allowed to interview or communicate yet?
  14. You’re overall a solid poster, but you can get fucked right now.
