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.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The United States has always been shedding fur.
I think this is about the anti-fur campaign from PETA, et al.
Okay, if that's what it means, their attempt to be cutesy and coy is just confusing and asinine.
Most have grown up with a faux Christmas Tree in the house at the holidays.
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.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
When I was little we'd go into the woods and cut our tree and drag it home behind a tractor or a horse. We usually got a red cedar, which I believe is not actually a cedar, but it wasn't a pine.

Okay, you can't just leave it like that, Gudanov. What's The Incident? Tell us a story!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Given my current age-related panic, I should not have read the list.
I know it's irrational. I know.
