If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

26 is too young to be a Millennial, right? Do we have a name for Young People OMG now that Millennials are grown up?

What is even happening?

I think people born in 97 are the tail-end of the millennials, so 26 is not too young.

Mental Floss contends 96 was the last year millennials were born. [link]

The Atlantic keeps Gen Y following Gen X, then adds in millennials, who they say were born between 82 and 2004. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am making so many sad faces at your post, amych.

In band the other day, a kid (an actual child, maybe 12?) was trying to figure out how to play a piece of our arrangement of "Respect" and someone asked him if he knew the original song, and the answer was no. I blame his parents, but that is so sad!

Not recognizing the Shelleys isn't Millennial. It's just someone who needs an English lit refresher.

sj, I hope your ankle's problems are easily resolved.

Job~ma to Tim!

amyth, give me a buzz if you need a ride back home. They didn't let us out early per se, but everyone sort of collectively took a work from home day at noon. So I'm home.

Agreed! (Meant to write that earlier, but was so excited about getting a ride home from work, I forgot!)

I would love a ride, Calli! Anny said she'd get me, but she works a lot later than I do, especially today. Thanks! (I'll text you.)

Our wings are not tired.

I know we all aspire to be like Zenkitty and meara, but no more broken legs!

Nothing broken. No idea why it's swollen. Pretty much a waste of two hours of my life.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I thought this might cheer people up. Entertainment magazine did a photoshoot of Stephen Colbert dressed up as some LoTR characters ... I mean, how ELSE could we see Gandalf getting a NY cab?
