Flashers

You never hear about them anymore.  They sorta petered out in the early 80s.  Once they were everywhere in the news, now, poof.  Nowhere to be seen.

Same with Drive By Shootings.  How 1994.  They don't come up like they use to in the publicity factories.  On 20/20 in 1990 I bet Barbara Walters use the term every other episode.  Has come out of her mouth in years, and she was on the View!

That huffpo talked about drive bys.  'No one every heard of a drive by knifing.'  No one talks that way!  Fer criminy.  You gonna spout off about zip guns and Saturday Night Specials?  Use the term 'Rod' unironically?  Roscoe!  Say ROSCOE, Grandpa!  Cuz that would be awesome.

    Don't forget Gat, Heater, and my personal favorite Mahaska.

    Don't worry, all this AND how high $2.75 gas is will come back to the fore once a Republican is elected President.

    'petered out'

    Freudian slip or intentional?

    That's funny - I was thinking of David Niven and streakers at the Oscars today. Nobody streaks anymore. Which is OK.

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
