Does this mean I'm old?

[Jake_Taylor]

My wife's sister looks like Katy Perry. They have a cousin who could pass for Anna Kendrick. Guess what I'll be thinking about next Christmas.

OJ Simpson killed his wife
Forrest Gump was released
Friends and ER debuted

Kurt Cobain committed suicide
The baseball strike

To answer the original question, the other day I was reading a review of The Lego Movie. The writer noted similarities to Toy Story and pointed out it was released 19 years ago.

Television home shopping features a show dedicated to sex toys, and has for quite a while.

There are TV commercials for vibrators and sex lube.

About 4-5 years ago, I went out to my mailbox and my issue of Rolling Stone had arrived. It had two very attractive women on the cover.

I don't claim to be anything resembling hip, but I do follow entertainment, I'm a movie buff, I watch a ton of TV, I read entertainment magazines...

I had no idea who either of the women were. It wasn't a case of not being familiar with their music/TV show/movie, I simply had no idea who they were. I'd never heard of them.

It was Blake Lively and Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl. Obviously, Lively has since been in movies I've seen, but that was one of those strange, "wow, this is what is supposed to be cool and it's not even remotely on my radar."

I was watching "Mom" the other night -- why, I don't know, because it is a rancid wretched show -- and Anna Faris was telling her mom (Allison Janney) about a date she had. He was well-read, polite, "and when he took his pants off, you could play horseshoes on that thing." But then she was not proud of her behavior on the date because she met him at 9:00 "and by 12:00 my feet were behind my ears." The mom character, a grandma by now in truth, was wondering why that was bad.

I believe that's the time slot that Family Ties and Growing Pains used to occupy.

Yeah, as a parent there are some network shows that if they're on while my kids are still awake I feel the need to sprint to the TV to make sure they don't see any of it... That's mostly for shows like Two Broke Girls, Two and a Half Men, the evening news, any procedural that could show the body of a dead child before the opening credits roll...

I probably shouldn't do that, but my Facebook friends could probably find them.

This reminds me of some spots on the Military Channel I saw in the middle of the night recently.

Also, this does not mean you're old.

You're turkey neck means you're old.

This just means you're a prude.

Better not let Star Man hear about this, yo.
He is greatly angered by Katy Perry's ample bosom.

You spelled "flabby, baggy and saggy" wrong.

I like nice bosoms as much as anybody.

Anna Kendrick gets two thumbs up (and more) from me. Scarlett Johannson is also very nicely equipped. (Both, incidentally, beat the flaming living hell out of Katy Perry's rapidly drooping fleshbags.)

However, neither of them, although they hardly hide their attributes from public view, constantly shove their honkers into the lens of every single camera within eyeshot.

What has always ticked me off about Katy Perry is that ever since the moment she boob-burst into public consciousness, her marketing attack has been completely based on one thing (well, two things): tits. All Tits, All The Time.

And, sad to say ..... they've Never. Really. Been. That. Good.

And they're getting worse.

It's not that I don't like tits -- I just like to maintain high standards.

If I am 75 and getting *****, I am not going to complain too much about what her tits look like.

They're fatty soft tissue, Star Man.
They're supposed to subject themselves to Newton's Laws after 30 or 40 years on this planet.
Katy Perry and women like her realized that their orbs are fashion accessories, albeit finite, that go with anything.
And usually maximize earning potential.

While the thought of it is quite stirring, no this shouldn't be something discussed and applauded on TV. People's values have completely fallen off the table. Young people celebrating the likes of Bieber and Cyrus makes me cringe.

On Tuesday, I was waiting in the lobby at my dentist. On TV, there was some afternoon talk show where the host was discussing whether it was OK to give oral sex early in a relationship because it wasn't really like you were having sex. "Why marry the pig when you can get the sausage for free" was one of the things said. There were several kids in the room. I finally told the receptionist she needed to change the channel because it wasn't appropriate.

Make sure your kids don't listen to any of that crazy rock and roll from that Elvis Presley. Did you see the way he moves his hips? Just disgusting.

If you're fine with oral sex discussions at the dentist's office, you're not well-adjusted. It's not a strip club or a barbershop.

Thank you, Walt. I was just going to leave this alone, but I am glad you chimed in.

Heaven forbid we teach young people to have a moral compass. I'll be the first to go on record as saying oral sex is a good thing, but I don't feel we need to encourage youngsters to think it's OK to have a free for all at it. Society has been eroding, and the results are evident. I am afraid we have passed the point of no return.

1. If I were a single man, I'd work really hard to be Jake_Taylor's new friend.
2. I realized I wasn't a kid anymore -- not old, but not a kid -- when I realized the last two guys who played Superman are younger than me.

 

[Buck]

Would I want my kids watching a talk show about oral sex?
No, but I'm not sure that equals erosion of society.

You should have been my friend in August, 2006, when they were both drunk and single at my wedding.

Having the Oscar winner for Best Director younger than you kinda sucks. Realizing there are senior writers at SI younger than you sucks. Hall of Famers in various sports younger than you is a tough one too.

When the President was younger than me, it was definitely such a moment.

My dad didn't have that moment until he was 65 years old (Carter and Daddy Bush both had him by about one year).
