Insta-Grup-key: Think of it as an online quiz

How much of yourself do you see in this interesting article? The first (real) paragraph reads like one of those ubiquitous blog quizzes. But it doesn't spit out immediate html feedback. No, after flashes of realization while reading, the text of that self-assessment will form slowly throughout out the next day or so.

Hat tip to Scrubbles, particularly for the post title.

There didn't appear to be a category for "post-Grup" - that stage when you've finally acknowledged that mature and civilized behavior is inevitable, and that cool concerts and late nights at the bar are special occasions, not every-night affairs.

But my iPod IS as weird as ever. One day I'm going to get around to posting some of the freaky stuff I've been picking up on eMusic lately. Today's find: "godspeed you! black emperor"

Clearly, there's a Grup continuum.

We're on there somewhere.

Folks like HH, however... He's just outside of the demo. I can hear Mojo Nixon in my head. "Hugh Hewitt has no Grup in him!"

But what is the Grup continuum metaphorically shaped like?

Hmmm, and what if the grups don't evolve? What odd assisted living care facilities we'll have in another 40 years . . .

"Did you see Nike came out with orthopedic
loafers in their fall geriatric line?"

"What? I can't hear you . . . I used
my hearing aid battery for my ipod!"

Honestly, I think they need to evolve. Kids need parents not peers. And really, what fun is it being a teenager if you can't hear the beloved words "TURN DOWN THAT RACKET!" At this rate, future rebellious teenagers will have to play musak really softly to annoy their parents.
