    That’s the problem with getting old… "Bosnia and Rwanda, that was, what? 10? 12 years ago?..

    (looks up Wikipedia) 1992, 1994, 1995… yeah, so, like 10-12 years ago… tops…"

      I know! Or people talk about how they love old movies… like Fight Club.

      The problem for-real though is you end up with all this knowledge about how things went down and you realise half the people you’re talking to don’t know about any of that.

          There are adults here now who weren’t alive when Fight Club came out either!

          But yeah just the other day we were talking about Freedom Fries and some people didn’t realise it had been a real phenomenon. They thought it was just a joke.
