A rare post from Grumpy Grandpa Kane:
You young people today have it so easy. In my day, we didn’t have blogs to express ourselves creatively and to write our thoughts and feelings in. We had to keep all of our thoughts to ourselves, and our feelings were pushed deep down inside of us until they would fester and boil and agitate us to the point where our heads would explode. And we liked it!
In my day, if someone wanted to write, they kept a diary. But you had to hide it from your parents and siblings or they would find it and mock you and tease you and call you a sissy and a pussy for the rest of your life until you cried. And if you didn’t have a diary, you wrote vulgar and obsense things on the bathroom walls with a lot of smut and f-words in them. And we liked it!
And we didn’t have blogs to organize mass support for political candidates at the local coffee house while siping coco lattes. In my day, we organized at a local university and slept outside in the cold and we got high and sang songs that we didn’t know the words to
and we got our heads cracked open by the police. That’s the way it was, and we liked it!
