new word...and new magazine

two days ago i learned about a new boomer oriented magazine at work.
wally brought it over to show me.
it's called geezerjock and features articles for and about aging weekend warriors.
you can even buy geezerjock clothing at a place called bluehair active wear
oddly enough, a friend went to the doctor yesterday. he was dressed kind of sporty-like and didn't his doctor call him "GEEZERJOCK"? I'm not kidding.
you can tell that boomers are editing all of the major mags now.
AARP had a teaser on it's cover about 10 ways to look better..
didn't AARP used to run teasers about 10 ways to feel better?
we boomers are so vain. yes, carly, we do think the song was about us.

and now for the word that i learned today.
i was reading an article in New York magazine entitled "Everybody Sucks". the graphic on the first page of the article was a computer keyboard. in place of individual letters on the keys, each key was adorned with a put down...for example: nut job, dork, freak, fugly..and then i saw it...SADULT!!!
wow! that hurts. rather be a nut job than a sadult!
