SHENANIGANSThat restaurant with all the s@*+ on the walls that was an excuse to pistol whip Farva?... what?
EDIT: for clarity, I just have no idea what you mean - it's a story that I have zero context for.
It's a reference to the movie Super Troopers, specifically the following set of lines:
O'Hagen: I just got off the phone with Tom McCardle From the budget committee. This thing with Farva screwed our pooch.
Thorny: What? They can't lump us in with that ****in' Martian.
O'Hagen: We're all in the same boat, fellas.
Mac: But our shenanigans are cheeky and fun.
Thorny: Yeah, his shenanigans are cruel and tragic.
Foster: Which wouldn't make them shenanigans, at all, really.
Mac: (Irish voice) Evil shenanigans!
O'Hagen: I swear to God, I'll pistol whip the next guy that says 'shenanigans!'
Mac: Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy s~&~ on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?
Farva: You mean Shenanigan's?
Mac, Foster and Thorny: Oh, no! (Laughing) (Mac hands O'Hagen his gun.)
Farva: You're talking about Shenanigan's, right?
Oh! Okay, I really didn't know what was going on. Like "resteraunt pistol whip famous football star" brought up nothing relevant. Makes much more sense now.
In other news, I just - just - finished (maybe) the B.R.A.T. diet last night, and this morning my Eldest got a nice fun problem coming out the front end, instead, as a "good morning" present. Timing~!
(The jury is out if I somehow gave what I had to him, or it's some sort of unrelated problem; opposite symptoms, but all gut stuff. Sigh. I... I didn't want a weekend anyway! ... so there! Q.Q)

I left FB around Thanksgiving.
I got tired of hitting "friends but don't follow" every time someone I knew got political.
Eventually only 10% of my friends weren't blocked.
I asked myself if it was worth my eyebrow twitching every time my extended family said anything. It was not.
So I deleted everything in my account: every pic, every message since forever...everything. One at a time. Because those f%@#ers won't if you say delete my account for like a month.
I kept a blank account for using Messenger, as some folks change their phone number every month or so, but that's it.

Oh, I'm SURE photos of me exist on Facebook; I do chaperone 130 kids every year, and I'm sure at least a few of them participate. (Though Facebook seems to be an "older generation" thing -- NONE of my kids nor their friends have FB accounts.)
But I've never even created a "fake" account, because I've always hated FB and saw no purpose in it. And nowadays, it's become more of a badge of honor and old man stubbornness than anything else.

In order to make sure I have an easy runway to get to work later (it's snowing) I parked across the street because the neighbors across the street never park in front of their house.
These are the neighbors that moved here from the country and are afraid of my hippieness, so this is causing quite the stir as they're all at their window trying to figure out what sort of Trojan horse I've parked in front of their domicile.
It's just a hail dented Kia, no big deal, people!

Oh, that sounds horrible, even in the best of circumstances.
But, no:
Bananas
Rice (the white kind, bleached of anything that could be 'flavorful')
Applesauce
Toast
(also includes saltine crackers; but we were out of those)
It's the thing you eat when your insides won't let you eat anything else. Friday/Saturday was my day! Now Sunday for my Eldest.

Impus Major: No. Facebook is the classic "Boomer" website.
NH: Wooooooow...

Yep. Pretty much my entire generation in a nutshell.
(1) As a teen, being told that Boomers ended in 1964, and Gen X started in 1970: Check.
(2) As an adult, having CBS completely omit Gens X and Y from 1964-1981: Check.
(3) Filling out countless surveys and having my birth year not even listed: Check.
It's pretty amazing to be one of the people born within a 5-year span (1965-1969) where it's not just that we don't matter; it's as if we fundamentally don't even exist...

I'm still confused about technically being a millennial.
Millennials are those lazy kids from the generation after me, but before my children, dang it!
... wait.
I... I like avacado toast... oh, no.
The assimilation begins!
(I actually avoid avocados. Not sure what the big deal is.)
I find it just kind of nice.
Avocados are neither a "Definitely yes" or "definitely no" thing for me - it's just another nice addition to toast, in my experience, much like anything else you might add (and I like plain toast, too).
(That said, I've only actually had it at two kind of snooty restaurants that actually make a deal out of having it, and a friend's house who's a good cook, so that seems like it might influence my very limited sample size. Ironically both times were with my parents.)
From what others have told me, it's only become a signifier of millennials because some dude who wrote an article in a popular... uh... webiste?... magazine?... I-... I'm not sure - anyway, he thought it was weird and a surefire sign of entitled millennials wasting their money on frivolous things for why they're poor. So it became a thing.
Avocados in general are pretty okay. (Better than grapefruit, at least!)

If we go by actual birth, I'm a millennial, but I was conceived in a Gen X year, as I was born in f@+!ing August but concieved the year before in November (I was late).

I used to have that problem due to a medication I was on. Side effect...a near universal and guaranteed side effect...is weight gain. From a diabetes medication. That's helpful.

This is kinda how I've always felt about the Millennial label. I'm in the right age range, but I've never really felt attached to most of what that group seems to be defined by.

I dunno, the ennui, vague hopelessness borne of dreams snuffed out during the recession before our careers ever had a chance to begin, and the growing realization that the world is, in many ways, careening down a slip-and-slide of surreal horror is kind of a mood.
