Well, we had it TUFF. We had to catch 2 bald eagles with our bare hands and use their talons to climb up. They'd be vomitin' rotten fish over us the whole time.
I resent these Boomer memes. When I grew up, I put myself through college working part time each summer at the gas station. Then after graduating with my English degree, I got a great job and could afford a house, a car, and a family on a single income. You damned millennials and Gen Zoomers and all that have it so easy.
“Working part time in the summer…English degree…single income…everyone else has it easy…” You don’t get much easier than putting yourself through college working part-time only in the summer. Satire.
So, I grew up in the Panama Canal Zone. No snow. But sometimes I tell people that we didn't have roads or sidewalks, so we had to hack our way through the jungle with machetes to get to school. And that the jungle grew back so fast that we had to hack our back back through the same trail to get home in the afternoon. I've had a couple of people actually believe that....
I don't know about bars, but you can't buy alcohol, even beer, past 10pm here in Macon County. At least that's the way it was last time I bought beer here, maybe 6-7 years ago. We have no real bars here, but there are a couple restaurants that serves drinks with your meal. I have no idea what their cut-off time is.
Some restaurants around here have bars inside them and when the restaurant closes, usually around 10pm on weekdays the bars also close so maybe that's the case JD
My wife and son work at local sports concession stand. Standard practice to stop serving alcohol well before event ends. Do not want 'well lubricated' individuals driving off drunk.
One of my favorite pastimes is hanging out at the boat landing during the summer, between the crashes & the engines that won't start I can pick up a few jobs.
#1, what I don't understand is how in the hell do these assholes keep getting elected ? I mean, they as old as sin and just as ugly too. not to mention the fact they all have gotten rich as they are by just being in congress. and on 174,000 a year too. image that ? I guess that part is easy when you don't have to pay for everything like we do ? and they wonder why people loathe their asses too. like in the movie, Mars attacks. people cheered when they blew up congress !
Jelly? Ha! We boomers had hardly even heard of "jelly" and had to pound the peanuts, that we grew ourselves, into a paste-like mixture and then went berry picking and mashed them onto the biscuit half, cuz we couldn't afford "light bread", then smeared the peanut glop onto the other half of the biscuit placed them together and ate that, while walking six miles to school with snow waist high, up-hill bare-footed, even in the summer because the glaciers were still there, just for the privilege of getting an education, and we were happy to do it!
#7 My oldest son has a real D-bag of a boss right now that was wedged in ahead of him ask him the other day if he could show him how to set up a power point presentation while he was in a meeting with Him, HR, the CEO, and a couple of Bean Counters. He thought the guy was trying to get him turfed out. His reply was "I don't have time for that right now, but I can send you some links to the continuing education classes at the local university if you would like." He said the HR Karen snerked and he thought she was going to bust out laughing, nobody else said a word. They all know the guy is a POS. I commended him for not jumping the table and taking the guy out.

# 15 - We couldn't afford ice picks to climb the ice walls, we had to use deer antlers we found out in the woods.
ReplyDeleteSome of us used wooly mammoth tusks
DeleteAntlers? Tusks? Luxury. We had to use our own teeth and toenails.
DeleteMy brother and I used the claws from velociraptors...
DeleteYou had teeth?
Delete-lg
Well, we had it TUFF. We had to catch 2 bald eagles with our bare hands and use their talons to climb up. They'd be vomitin' rotten fish over us the whole time.
DeleteWe had to blow our hot breath onto the ice to make hand and foot holds. I used the school tardy slips to block the holes in my flip flops.
DeleteWe didn't have fancy hooks, either. We used our bare hands and a rock to chip out handholds. And safety ropes? Hah! Kids these days..

DeleteTwo things:
Delete1) I'm a Boomer.
2) IT'S A FUCKING MEME!!! We make fun of people that get offended by memes!
First day on the internet?
DeleteWell, I enjoyed reading this thread ... and I only had a bus ride through Hell to contend with.
DeleteI can hear anon now"
Delete"Get off of my lawn!"
@Wirecutter and @Critter-
DeleteRead it again. It’s VERY obviously satire.
Really? Because it sounds like all the other comments I get from people that have no sense of humor when it comes to memes.
Delete“Working part time in the summer…English degree…single income…everyone else has it easy…”
DeleteYou don’t get much easier than putting yourself through college working part-time only in the summer.
Satire.
It is obviously satire. English degree and then got a great job?
DeletePfft. I just stood on the shoulders of giants. --Jimmy don\'t play that
DeleteIf you have to explain that it is satire, then it is not as obvious as you think it is.

DeleteIronic.
You had deer antlers?!?
ReplyDelete#6 ... What bar closes at 10:00?

DeleteI think there are less bars nowadays since most people do not want to be around drunk strangers.

ReplyDeleteMy stepson with a toddler & a newborn.lol
ReplyDelete#6: to my practiced eye, looks like Goobe finally got lucky and found a 10 at 2:00 AM!

Along with dead voters, illegal alien voters and Dominion voting machines you ever think millions of people are just plain stupid?
DeleteThey are immune from the insider trading laws. Because reasons.

#11
ReplyDeleteIf anyone hasn't yet seen The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, it's terrific. 6 short films.
#5 how else can you make a peanut butter/jelly sandwich. seriously, is there another way?
ReplyDeleteThin layer of PB on each slice so the Jelly doesn't make the bread soggy.
DeleteWho has time for jelly?
DeleteJelly? Ha! We boomers had hardly even heard of "jelly" and had to pound the peanuts, that we grew ourselves, into a paste-like mixture and then went berry picking and mashed them onto the biscuit half, cuz we couldn't afford "light bread", then smeared the peanut glop onto the other half of the biscuit placed them together and ate that, while walking six miles to school with snow waist high, up-hill bare-footed, even in the summer because the glaciers were still there, just for the privilege of getting an education, and we were happy to do it!
DeleteReminds me of an old Peanuts cartoon.
DeleteCharlie Brown: "Never get your heart set on a jelly bread sandwich until you're sure you have some jelly."

Sometimes the comments are more entertaining than the memes themselves!
ReplyDeleteThe comments here are hilarious! I needed a laugh today - thanks to Wirecutter and thanks to everyone who left a comment.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first looked at #12 I thought a feral hog had fallen sideways into the wet cement.
