Oh, these kids today.

Can't they just forget their silly intellectual conclusions, and be normal?

Conform, kiddies. Listen to your elders.

Oops. Your elders seem to be philosophically all over the place.

Nevermind... :lol:

I like the one where the kid wears t-shirts "that are no longer ironic."

The same thing it refers to anywhere else, most likely.

In SoDak, "cowabunga" would've gotten you a kicking to the curb for your trouble. Far too "Shakey Side" for us to treat seriously.

Ya gotta love pronouncements. Someone's gotta tell us what's what any more.

I thought cow bunga was something else. Like oompa. As in, "Don't step in the oompa".

Oh, cowabunga. Never mind.

True. Back in New York, shouting "cowabunga" would likely be misheard as "cow bunger". Which could land you in big, big trouble.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

"Cowabunga," was first uttered by Chief Thunderthud...consort of Princess Sumer-Fall-Winter-Spring...two Native American types on the Howdy Doody Show. 1950s. TV.

Rough meaning, "Wow...is that SO."

Buffalo Bob was too schmoozy to use such crude language.
