Wait am I millennial if I was born in the 90s? I kind of figured it was people born after the millennium.

Oh, yes! And all of the westerns, and the horror flicks on Sat night . Dracula, Wolfman, Frankenstein, and we were even scared of Rodan!  Ice cream sodas made by the druggist (drug stores had long counters, and you could get something to eat.) Pop was 7 cents and you could take the bottle back and get 2 cents for it.  I once stepped on a thistle, and sat down to pull the thorny part out of my foot, found a 50 cent piece laying on the ground and was able to but penny candy for the entire neighborhood (about 10 kids). School lunches were da bomb, all homemade everything.

Gen X is 62-72.  I'm 72.  

Gen X doesn't only span 10 years:

Generation X. George Masnick, of the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies puts this generation in the timeframe of 1965 to 1984, in part because it's a neat 20-year period. He also calls it the "baby bust," mocking "[p]undits on Madison Avenue and in the media" that call it Generation X. Ha ha, tough luck.

Can't even believe I'll be 40 next year. I feel 25. Sigh...

You'll love 40! Honestly I turned 40 last year and for me it was just an excuse to party. Actually it's the only time I've remembered how old I am, lol I usually have to calculate my age from one of my siblings by adding the difference bc I remember theirs. I've always felt young though and I figure that's the important part.

 

Oregon Trail ftw along with Carmen Sandiego, still love those games. We have the OT board/card game. It's nearly impossible to make it to the end.

Is '78 considered X or Y? I've never really thought I fit into any of those groups...

We are apparently the "Oregon Trail" generation (late 70s/early 80s).  I'm a 1979 baby....and I will forever be wishing I could dance like T-Boz (sadly, I dance more like T-Rex - and primarily in the privacy of my apartment.  In the only room with no windows.  And the door firmly closed).

haha!! I know Vic's not everyone's cup of tea but I just love to see a legacy grow and blossom. I think it'll be fun to watch, now that Cassie's broken the ice and been the proverbial punching bag for what it is to be a legacy in the digital age where dicks like us sit around and say how we REALLY feel on here lol!

haha how could I leave now. Yall are my buds!!

Let's move generational talk to the Small Talk, shall we? Thank you. (And making mention of it in a mocking way is also not great. There are worse ways, but still.)

A reminder, you can't quote, but you can copy the "address" of a quote by clicking on the timestamp under the poster's name and copying the address. Then you start a new post in a topic and just paste and it will look like this: 

But I was lazy and took from this page. I'll put the instructions elsewhere, too.

I'm not sure if this was ever posted. its a deleted scene from last years DCC MTT of Yuko!

Thanks! Hadn't seen that. Being bluntly honest, it reminded me of those facebook videos of that toddler girl who is clearly fed snippets of lines, which she delivers like a mini bratty Kardashian, but she's so expressive it's pretty funny. She's the one with a twin who doesn't do the videos anymore, and she blames "Charlie" for everything.  I'll have to find a link.

So yeah, Yuko is adorable, but that interview looked to me like it was cut every three seconds to feed her lines, and she still isn't the greatest dancer.

Bitch Moment Ahead: Like 90% of the 91-2 squad would be on WW today! I feel like the attitude towards weight and what the DCC are willing to work with when someone has a few extra pounds changed between Seasons 1 & 2. They worked with Brook Sorensen in Season 1 but then cut this really pretty dark haired girl (Victoria? Gina?) who had bigger hips without even giving her a chance to lose the weight in Season 2. Anyone else notice anything similar? The girls' media exposure is so different compared to when the show began and the addition of HD certainly alters current standards which are huge factors but I felt like I saw a shift earlier than HD times.

You were a Rangerette!?!! Their whole organization is so intriguing to me. I know sign drop is tomorrow so I'm watching Sweethearts of the Gridiron right now ha!

I really liked the Rangerette 2017 camp but there were a few girls that I saw where I was thinking, "Geez, don't you know what's needed to be on this team?"  One girl had such bad kicks I felt sorry for her.  Another girl wasn't in the best shape and, while she had better kicks than the first girl who drew my attention, they still weren't good enough to get her on the team where kicking one's nose is practically a requirement.  I'm going to watch a few others in that series to see what's what.  

That movie was utterly annoying to me, and I can't pinpoint exactly why. Maybe it just boiled down to the dance moves. I find that drill team precision thing to be thoroughly weird. So there's that. and then there are the handful of girls who are so freaking stupid that holding their mouths closed while walking is as elusive as quantum theory, because all that they've been forced to learn and retain in life is how to take a pretty selfie. I dunno, it was just irritating to my senses in a way that DCC MTT is not.

this was really cool to read esp bc I just finished season 2 today

I knew she was a legacy but didn't know her sister, Mackenzie, was a Kilgore Rangerette and is a current Director of the alumni group called Forevers.  It may be she got married and opted not to try out for DCC.  Both her mom and Meredith were Kilgore Rangerettes.  Made me want to watch the movie "Sweethearts of the Gridiron" about the audition process for Rangerettes.  This was the year that Robin was a sophomore and tried out to be one of the officers.
