And I thought it was cheap the way you disregarded comic books as "shabby" simply because you don't enjoy them.
I based the "geezer" thing on the fact that you don't know who Simon Cowell is and I had never heard of Yogi Berra. We obviously have a very large age gap. And your rant sounded rather like a "get off my lawn" diatribe.
As for the "thinking class"... I think you rather underestimate the number of degrees I have. But they way you call me "my dear" in such a passive-aggressive way certainly speaks to your age and gender. Calling a female "my dear" like she's a moron is simply not done in the thinking classes. Age, however, has a lot to do with perspective and opinions about big explosions and comic books.
