@Taweret I await the true contrarian who will defend the low-rise jeans + thong underwear "whale tail."
@Taweret Ah, yes, the early 2000s, when commercials for "Girls Gone Wild" videos were in heavy rotation on late-night cable. When all the war criminals were writing memos exonerating themselves of atrocities we wouldn't learn of for a few years yet. Those happy golden years. Ok.
@Taweret Everything was so much better in 2000 [when I was still a teenager and had no serious responsibilities]!
@Taweret curious how 9/11 will be handled (badly)

@Taweret
People's memories are getting shorter, it's closer to 15 years for most nostalgia now.
@Taweret oh already happening. It's just when people who peaked in high school get left behind in their 20s.
