since we're back on the original topic...I used to windsurf off of san carlos, mexico. Quit a few featureless vertical rock cliffs going into the ocean on the leeward side of the bay where we sailed. I always thought that would be the absolutely worst place to lose a mast. After 6 hours in the water at the base of one of those I don't think anyone would survive even with a life jacket....and I could well imagine a boat being reduced to matchsticks _________________ .....clueless....
Sorry I'm late to this party, but I'm compelled to chime in.
I, too, clicked here thinking maybe wormholes or something, but it was interesting in a different sort of way..... and then I became a spectator of some kind of quasi-personal war, and then this:

Dude, nobody's jealous of your generation or era. Let's take stock:
Drugs: You had two kinds of weed, shitty and really shitty. The former you called "Sensimilla". It was overpriced crap but if you held the hit in long enough you might have caught a buzz from oxygen deprivation. The latter you called "Mexican". It looked like garden mulch and tasted like socks. If it had any THC in it, nobody ever noticed. (You also used really dumb drug terms like "Lid" and "Grass" but that's a topic for another day.)
Our pot, on the other hand, was The Bomb. Even the crap was 10x better than anything you ever stuffed in a pipe. And it was way cheaper.
When you guys were really gettin' stupid you'd drop a tab of "window pane" which more than likely was something some druid labbed up from Drain-O and engine degreaser in the back of an abandoned city bus. I'd rather stick my face in a wood chipper, to be perfectly honest.
We got 8-balls and ecstasy which invariably led to high speed romps on ridiculously over-powered Japanese crotch-rockets and threesomes with big titted, twin sisters who never bothered to tell us their names.
Music: You had some good stuff but it was all more than offset by bands like Iron Butterfly and The Moody Blues. I mean, The Moody Blues? Really? The country deserves an explanation.
We got Punk Rock and I really shouldn't have to say anything more. But I will! We also got Nirvana, Pearl Jam and The White Stripes. And you might think the Rolling Stones and Keith Richards belong to you - but they don't; we stole 'em while you were at one of your stupid sit-ins protesting Nixon and the Vietnam War and listening to Crosby, Stills and Nash. It wasn't even that hard, either. God, you guys were dumb.
Sex: I don't care how much you managed to have. That shit was dirty and had hair growing out of the most unfortunate locations. Plus, they were all a bunch self-loathers: They went to ridiculous lengths to act, dress and look like men. They thought that was "liberating". Be honest, how many times did you wake up and think: "Shit. I had sex with Bob last night."?
Our women enjoyed their femininity and let us enjoy it too. Plus they actually bathed.
Wow. Just..... wow. Whether or not I agree with any of it is irrelevant - this is gold.

Ha! Well, Pearl Jam is definitely the weak link in that chain - I honestly hear very little difference between Eddie Vedder and this:

Most likely this is a diversionary tactic to steer us away from realizing he has a prehensile tail. _________________
