Boomer Reminiscer Prints

Welcome class of '67.

Dear Sadie, I'm just an aging Baby-Boomer who still believes in America, and sees all the good around me, but I don't understand why we've become so mean. How can I feel good about us again? Signed, Marlemarion. Great question. There's an easy answer as to how you can feel better about the world. Change your name to something normal! I just don't agree with the @#$% premise that we've gotten mean.

"Thank you for your service."

"That? Oh, uh yah...that was Stuart."

"He wouldn't have rolled over and over in agony on the bombed-out cinder pitches we had to play on!"

'The little punks were waving a red flag at me! In my youth, I would have given them a run for their money!'

"God, I was magnificent!"

"Enjoy your youth. Soon you'll be an old cynic like me with nothing worth barking at."

Ned thinks back to his youth.

'Congratulations! He hasn't got MRSA.'

Son, when I went to school, I trudged for years knee-deep in student loans!

"Sorry, Michael, but no dodge balls past this point."

'I'm part of the losing things generation.'

"When I was your age, I had to walk two blocks to the video rental store."

"Brian says in 1976 we just got on with it."

"I miss the pre-recession tranquility."

'What was I like 20 years ago? I was younger, thinner, better looking, sexier. . . and poorer.'

'I made big bucks in the 70s, invested well and now I'm living it large.'

"I took a viagra before going to the senior citizen's dance, last night, and I couldn't get anyone to come to my place. So there I stood, all dressed up and no place to go!"

"I said I USED TO BE A BABY BOOMER!"

"Do you ever miss New York?"

"And here's one of you running with the guys in Pamplona."

"I wouldn't have thought baby boomers could still do cannonballs."

"No one's last words were 'I wish I'd done more homework.'"

" I was never for the eighties."

"Hard summer, Miss Donahue?"

"This will lighten your mood, Dick - every few minutes, a baby boomer turns fifty."

"When I was young, we were scared to the death of the boogeyman...el cucuy was a nasty, mean creature."

"Son, everyone went to college in the sixties - there was a war going on."

This program will take you back to where you didn't want to be the first time.

Sadie, you were around in the sixties
