It's the hot new trend where you get your hands injected with collagen filler so your hands don't look all wrinkly. Also they did his ankles for a more consistent overall look.

The early 2000s were a banner era for Sacramento avant-noise; 2003 was one of those years folks here still mention when claiming it isn't as good now as it was back then, although I think !!!/Out-Hud had already moved to NYC by that point.

Yeah, that's just us getting old, and I had hoped we would have aged more gracefully than the Boomers, who were using all these exact cheesy memes 20 years ago. I assume that if there's still social media in 25 years it will mostly be Millennials posting about drinking from that gross-ass hose.

I always think of my friend Ground Chuck who was 1 of 3 kids thrown from a truck bed and the only survivor, but traumatized for the rest of his life by the memory and survivors guilt.

It's not a flex; GenXers express our grief through sarcasm. Maybe it was the leaded gasoline. Our horrors were less immediate but more omnipresent: nuclear war, AIDS, the Moral Majority. 24/7 news and watching the Challenger blow up live (which I did) was new. Also, drinking from the hose was gross.

which makes me wonder if someone has rendered skele-Trump rotting on life support in the Golden Throne, absorbing the lifeforce of millions of social media posters, vs. the WH30K "Thin Elvis" big-golden-shoulder-armor look. And who plays Horus in this analogy?

Back in 1986, I offered to run "Paranoia" for a group of airmen at a local Air Force base. They refused to play, stating that being given insane, contradictory, and sometimes suicidal orders, issued equipment that didn't work or blew up, and led by incompetent maniacs was too much like their life.
