I wondered when Gen X started (I'm 1970).
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think it's officially 1963? Anyway, right after the boomer birth numbers dropped off.

Cash, that is totally me and my brother. My parents had me really young (mom was 18, dad 19) and they had nothing. I appreciated everything I got as a child because I didn't get tons all the time. By the time my bro was in his teens (born in 77), they were doing very well. He was completely spoiled. I resented the hell out of it until I was old enough to see that I was the lucky one because I'm completely independent. At 29, he is still leaning on the parents (now with added wife and 2 kids). Ayayay.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

From Wikipedia:
The exact demographic boundaries of Generation X are not well defined, depending on who is using the term, where and when. According to generation researchers Neil Howe and William Strauss, Generation X includes anyone born from 1961 to 1981 in North America.

Frank, born in 1966 puts you in Gen X.
Huh, Wikipedia agrees. I coulda sworn there was a group in between the Boomers and the X-ers. shrugs

You think you are entitled to your own personal generational designation, don't you?

Nah, remember how we were always the "Baby Bust", before we decided to give ourselves a cool-sounding slacker-hip new name instead?

Yep. I'm a child of Mr. Rogers (though moreso Sesame Street/Electric Company).

Well, in general there is a lot more of:
I'm glad my dad has this semester off teaching. He's very old school and I think he is thisclose to flunking the next student who tries to negotiate their way out of some policy stated explicity in his syllabus. What makes it worse is the U's administration can be completely spineless about backing up their own student policies.
I secretly think his last semester of teaching? He needs to go medieval on everyone. It'll be good for him.
