There seems to be a phenomenon occurring in Western populations at the moment, which is quite unsettling to our society.
The 'generation gap' is widening between young and old.
It should be mandatory for the young to wear the fashions of the old and the old of the young for a week every year.
Likewise,
men and women should swap clothes for a week every now and then.
This will have the effect of promoting tolerance and reducing not only ageism, but the incidence of a few gender issues as well.
For those of you familiar with him, try to imagine AfroAssault wearing a polyester, floral print frock over support hose, petticoat, girdle and 42F brassiere. Or me, for that matter.

(wipes barf off keyboard) *Ahem*. I don't know about that last paragraph, but there's a point in there somewhere. My snarfygirlfriend is irresistable, to me, in this one really "grandma"-type housecoat she has. (I have a feeling "housecoat " is a USA-ian term. It refers to a rather frumpy, shapeless thing a woman might wear at home, perhaps one step up in formality from a bathrobe.) In any case, it's completely drab and un-sexy, but when she puts it on it drives me nuts! |

Hard to get embarrased about it after the original post... |
|
| |
Been reading Vonnegut lately, UB? |
|
| |
You stole my 8x10 wallet print, didn't you? |
|
| |
personally, when just being casual around the house, I wear nothing but a hint of diesel oil. |
|
| |
This was something I suggested to [po] that she post. She seemed to think I wouldn't be game to do it... viola! |
|
| |
variety is the spice of life and viola is a type of pansy! |
|
| |
Viola-tion is a whole different mess. |
|
| |
Diesel means something else entirely in my country. |
|
| |
[UB] just looked it up - I will pass on that one. |
|
| |
Different type of 'pansy'. |

[UB]: Harrison Bergeron, Vonnegut's tale of a society where everyone was forced to be "equal." Those deemed smart had to wear audio squealers in their ears to prevent coherent thinking, etc. I flashed on it upon reading your words here. By "flash" I mean that I suddenly recalled a thought or memory. |
|
| |
[bristolz] please don't flash , you will wake the undead |

Actually, I disagree with UnaBubba that the generation gap is ever-growing. Nowadays, far more than 20 or 30 years ago, the young and the not so young share similar tastes in music and clothes. With 40-year-olds listening to Britney Spears and riding scooters; jeans or combats on everyone from 5 to 75; casualwear more and more universal; pop culture and trash TV everywhere; the old are getting younger and the younger are getting more clued up. I think we're achieving this without transvestitism, fun as that is. |
|
| |
po might like to add an extra comma to her last annotation, after "flash", or it could be taken as being very offensive to bristolz. Unless that was the intention? |
|
| |
would not dream of offending [bristolz] I will amend as best I can. thank you. |
|
| |
Mine eyes have seen the gory |
|
| |
This is not a flash site. |
|
| |
[Peter], that would be a case of things finding their own level. |
|
| |
And would be awful as a Flash site. |
|
| |
That's sort of what I alluded to, in a clumsy, double-entendre kind of way. |
|
| |
Am I the only one still trying to imagine AfroAssault wearing UnaBubba? |
|
| |
Thank you [daruma]. Well spotted. |
|
| |
So, is person the *son* of per? |
|
| |
you are the one doing the siring around here |
|
| |
But why would I want to be a croissant? |
|
| |
because you want to have good buns? |
|
| |
cheers [UnaBubba] -- it was a pedants anonymous moment, to be sure. |
|
| |
And missed its mark, it would seem. |
|
| |
quality sites like this... why i love hb...*grin* |
|
| |
barnzenen: don't think you'd have much choice, if you were bread from one (maybe that's what happens from UB siring something?)... |
|
| |
wheat or white bread, Urania? |
|
| |
dunno, the whole thing actually seems sort of corny to me.. *grin* |
|
| |
I'm sure you simply amaize yourself! Ho hum. |
|
| |
Quit buttering her up, you. |

just so long as everything's taken with an.. er.. grain, i suppose, of salt... |
|
| |
I think I'm getting a yeast infection in my socially levelling lingerie. |
|
| |
*grin* glad someone else saw fit to, um, rise to the occasion :) |
|
| |
I don't want to wear my wife's clothes... equality is highly overrated. |
|
| |
This social equality is R-rated. |
