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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

There were fake trees before that. They were really ugly - uglier than a "silver" tree with a rotating colored spotlight on it.

Art Crawl!!!

Kate: congratulations on the forthcoming sticky minion.

Hey, check out dolphins using tools.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I grew up with a fake tree, and I'm 46. My mother was deathly afraid of fires, so fake tree it was. I didn't get a real tree until I'd moved out of the house.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Congrats, Kate!!

We had a silver x-mas tree when I was a kid--I think the last time we actually used it was in the late '60s. We only used real trees after that.
