The Gen X Thread: Older, Fatter, Still Alienated

[Dr. Medulla]

I've resurrected my softball career once for another year. Guess who hit a game winning bases loaded, 2 out, bottom of the 7th triple to the gap in left center. As long as I can play at the same level as 30 year olds I'm in.

Some guy on the other team who took you deep?

(Kidding—good job, old man.)

Great piece about Gen X throwing their hands up and saying, "Fuck it!".

The Fat samplers were better.

I feel like the Give ‘Em the Boot series was specifically designed for aging punks.

They must have showed that original Sesame Street cartoon on repeats and such because I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it as a kid but obviously it would have had to be like at least a decade and a half later.

Yeah I probably saw it with both kids.

Oh shit, that's me to a T when I try to go to the grocery store without a list. Who knew smoking pot would f up so many memory cells?

They did. We have the Old School sets and we remember most of the stuff from 70-74 and we were both born in 76.

This is my favorite bit from classic Sesame Street. 1972, Season 4.

This is all-time adorable and heartwarming.
