Kids Today - They're Young

John over at Spitbull has a terrific little poetic post on the benefits of turning 40.

Red Bull and Jagermeister? Are you kids freakin' nuts?

UPDATE: Speaking of drinking, the Maximum Leader stumbles across another Llamabutchers Industries (TM) subsidiary. May I recommend the Cuvee Reserve Chateau Louis San Orgle-Orgle? I think you'll appreciate it.

So... I shouldn't have bought the Shiraz?

Damn.

Somewhere in Paul Fussell’s book Class, he claimed that a preference for sweet drinks is a sign of vulgar and somewhat immature taste. As an example, he mentioned a young Hollywood star who was parboiled in his hot tub after drinking too many 7&7s. “How like a boy,” Fussell wrote. “A man would have wrecked himself on Scotch and soda.”

Ain't it the truth. I haven't read that book in a long time - it was the first Fussell I ever tried. In general, I like his writing, although I'm somewhat put off by his very conscious effort to make himself out to be the WWII equivalent of Robert Graves.

Robbo, I'm in complete agreement. Arguing with a friend about the moral equivalency in Fussell's WWII writings was one of the early events in my slow, painful journey from college leftiedom to my present stance of forthright anarcho-nihilism.

Too many kids are being lied to by the eco-freaks with all this malarkey about the rainforests and global warming and depleting species its time to educate them at home and get them away from the junk science and lies
