Apparently, Mr. D still remembers when BlueDevilyn posted a picture of her coochie. Or, was it when Brainbo posted about her oral fixation?

When you have an argument with your wife (sidebar: I was in the right) and you make up and you don't want to have sex. Just TV.

Oh, I get it now!
It'll be 18 years this month I've been posting here.

And like 16 years since Jerloma learned what race I am.

Edit:

Found the photo. Someone started a thread with the initial lyrics to Gin and Juice and each post afterward were more lyrics.

Instead of just doing a lyric, I took this photo. Too bad it isn't better quality. I'm not paying Photobucket ransom money for photos I uploaded.

That is a GENUINE Compaq MV940. A 19" CRT, bay-beeee!

That photo was taken in 2006 and I was still rocking a setup that looked like this:

I started going gray in my mid-20s, and after a couple years I stopped coloring it. I can accept some white hairs in my facial hair. I've even accepted white hairs on my chest and nether regions.

But I am drawing the line now, because I saw white hairs on the knuckles of my toes. That's bullshit. My feet probably look like Bilbo's when he gave Frodo the One Ring.

Congrats man!

I was looking through old swamp files recently and I have a picture that’s just a girl’s name on a bright pink background left from a time he was dumb enough to log on here and tell us the name of a cute classmate. So old!

A few days ago Cubs twitter was buzzing with the question, "Which Chicago sports event from before you were born would you have liked to see."

WAY too many people answered "The Bears winning the Super Bowl."

Out for lunch today with an old friend/work colleague who I went on a couple of dates with back in the day. Two things:

1) We spent the first half hour talking health and physical deterioration

2) We ate at a funky diner and both substituted salad for the fries

Yeah, even towards the older end of age GenX. And how do our local Boomers feel about GenZ calling themselves geriatric?

Truth to this. I’m assuming you guys, like me, have just accepted that our generation is never going to be given the steering wheel. It going to from the Boomers who are hurtling down the road even with signs that the bridge is out, and then when they die off right to the Millennials who don’t know how to drive stick to save us all in the car from going over the cliff.
