Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

Love these:
12. Amazon has never been just a river in South America.
21. They’ve always gone to school with Mohammed and Jesus.
For some reason, these made me sad:
33. Most have grown up with a faux Christmas Tree in the house at the holidays.
75. The New York Times and the Boston Globe have never been rival newspapers.

I don't even understand what this one means:
The United States has always been shedding fur.
Although maybe it explains my allergies. Fur is being shed everywhere!
...seriously, WTF does that mean?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PC? Oh, still totally means politically correct too.
And:
They’ve always wanted to be like Shaq or Kobe: Michael Who?
Michael will live on in our hearts. Larry who? is a better question.
And I was shopping in Woolworths 10 years ago. I'm pretty sure of it. Or do I mean KMart? Now I'm confused.
They also shop in plenty of stores without websites. When you're actually shopping in meatspace, who declines to go into a store because they have no online presence? You might think it's weird, but if they have your stuff...

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Woolworth's lasted longer in Canada than in the US.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The United States has always been shedding fur.
I think this is about the anti-fur campaign from PETA, et al.
Most have grown up with a faux Christmas Tree in the house at the holidays.
As one with a pine allergy, I happily embrace the faux tree.
This is the one that hits me the hardest:
Ferris Bueller and Sloane Peterson could be their parents.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I refuse to click through to that list on the grounds that it ALWAYS pisses me off. The vast majority of kids are neither as sheltered nor as stupid as this list makes them out to be.

Okay, if that's what it means, their attempt to be cutesy and coy is just confusing and asinine.

I don't get this one either. I was a member of the class of 1993, and I grew up with a fake tree. Most of my friends did. Do the brain trusts who write these lists remember the 70s? There were silver aluminum trees!

I grew up with a fake tree too. My family didn't get real trees after the incident.
