I think simply knowing what the "F" is means you're old and a nerd.

You can also face forward and imagine the word "PISS" in the water.

I swear part of it is regional. In the mid-Atlantic region - low volume lot, perpendicular spaces, maybe 1/2 full at max - you can watch people spend minutes faffing around to back into a spot.

There does seem to be a lot of hushed discussion about hair extensions.

I don't remember exactly what it looks like, but I'm sure this is it...

And South Central, where a Crisp is a dyslexic gangbanger.

Given up? I don't know. I've been appalled pretty much non-stop since 2000, though. When we were taught history, the X'ers learned that the pendulum always swings back the other way. And when you looked back, the notion always kind of held water. But, draw a line from Nixon through Reagan, the Bushes, to Trump, and the conclusions you'll draw are pretty grim.

There was an influential statement that was true in 1990 that was haunting, though: “The only presidential democracy with [more than 41 years] of constitutional continuity is the United States.” (I think there are around 5 others now between 40 and 70-something years old now.) Despite having a long run, this system isn't particularly sturdy.

We'll see, I guess.

I was sure COVID killing off 15-20k people per day would sober the MAGAts up. Boy, did I feel silly.

It's singular, but (strangely) possessive. Like, O'Malley's implies O'Malley's Bar, this would be the restaurant that belongs to TGIF.
