Kiff, I think it is funnier than/cool as hell when an otherwise "feminine" female breaks the "mold" and acts like a guy. But I'd hate to see the day when all women act like Al Bundy 24/7. We would lose an essential part of our humanity. I recall that S&H did a fascinating generational analysis of sex (words have gender, people have sex) roles and how differences between the sexes widen and narrow through the saeculum. It would be interesting to revisit that topic and see where we are now and where we should be heading with respect to this.

Wow, I got more than I bargained for there, Justin! Anyway, here's my picks--(and actually, Kiff, I *was* originally referring to people on *this* noard--so shoot me--as poster children, but this is a better idea)

GI: John F. Kennedy, Richard Milhous Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Arthur C. Clarke, Judy Garland, Bob Hope.

Silent (first wave): Marilyn Monroe, Martin Luther King Jr., Clint Eastwood, Sandra Day O'Connor, Colin Powell (or is he last wave?), Andy Warhol
Silent (Last wave): Barbra Streisand, James Dean (almost first-wave!), Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Grace Slick, Abbie Hoffman, Phil Donahue, Jesse Jackson, Jane Fonda, Woody Allen

Boomer (first wave): Janis Joplin, George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix, Donald Trump, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Diane Keaton, Al Gore, Rush Limbaugh

Boomer (last wave): Madonna, Spike Lee, Oprah, Cyndi Lauper, Prince, Michael Stipe, Bono, Bob Geldof ("St. Bob"), Michelle Pfeiffer, Jamie Lee Curtis, Elvis Costello, and honorary Boomer Rosie O'Donnell (b. 1961).

Xer (first wave): Tom Cruise, Jodi Foster, Michael J. Fox, George Stephanopoulos (I think--maybe he was born 1960), George Clooney, Demi Moore, Johnny Depp, Ally Sheedy, Tori Amos

Xer (last wave): Jennifer Love Hewitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Reese Witherspoon, Fiona Apple, Alanis Morrisette, Brendan Fraser, Ewan McGregor

Millennial: Britney Spears (b. in 1981, but I agree this is Millie), Haley Joel Osment, Amanda Bynes, The Olsen Twins, Patrick Fugit, Michelle Branch


Since there aren't many Silents on this board I'll skip them. The few that are here are all very Artistlike.
My picks:
Best Boomer: a tie between Brian Rush and Marc Lamb (well, maybe Eric Meece)
Best Xer: this is a toughie. All the Xers seem pretty Xer-like, with one exception (no, not you, Justin--don't worry) who I won't name.

Millennial: Robert Reed gets the trophy!

Why thank you, Sus.

Xers are kind of tough to categorize and epitomize. After all, we are Xers. :smile:

Hye, Stonewall (and everyone who participated in the generations and body hair discussion)--go immediately to the Generations and Sex therad and see the post about generational butts. It's too funny! :

Well, he has obviously done some serious generational analysis.

Wow! When did you find out that Susan was a man?

Anyways, your humor is funny only to an INTP. The weird thing about being an INTP is that people find you funny when you are being dead serious.

NO NO NO! I am not a man! The "he" Stonewall refers to is hte author of that post, not me!

Also, I'm an INFP (albeit the F is my weakest) and I think it's funny.

Justin, there is no confusion. You are an Xer.

It could've been worse. He could've called you an S (no offense meant for all of the S's here). :wink:

Oops, my fault. I apologize. :wink:

You're forgiven :smile:

I just would also like people to know that I dont represent anybody but myself, and do a poor job at that.
Dont take anything I say too seriously.

Ouch! Why would an S be worse (or should I even ask)?

The interesting thing here is that Neisha may have been expressing the fact that I had violated her principles. If so, this may reinforce the possibility that she is INTP as opposed to ENTP (assuming that she is still uncertain). I cannot see an ENTP getting hung up on a "cat" comment, but then I cannot see an INTP getting hung up on it either. However only the INTP in this comparison is likely to get hung up on anything at all (remember those principles). So are we talking about female INTP principles here (which I as a male INTP do not understand)?

And at times people think you are dead serious when you are trying to be funny. It is much safer to use humor when people can see your face....

Last night on MSNBC they were interviewing college students about their views on Sept.11. Interestingly the monicer for the millies was "generation 911".

Now that we named them what should we do with them.

Dear Lucky #7,

Thank you for being in the part of my birth year that counts most, helping me avoid media scrutiny, and comparisons to my grand moms who never liked my ripped jeans.
Today I drink to the 70s, I drink to Rerun, JR Ewing, Fall Guy, and Captain kangaroo. Thanks dudes.

Fall Guy was early '80s. It was on during the same time period as A-Team, Simon & Simon, Life and Times of Sheriff Lobo, Magnum P.I., and that talking car show.

As a late boomer those were the days of stopping by the local at 5:00 pm. and returning home at 5:00 am.. I missed those same programs but have no reason to return to them. At the same time was the beginning of talk radio, open up your head and fill it with S^&#!. At this juncture in time 24 hour news is the abyss of the media. Talking heads expounding their beliefs and rhetorict 24 hours aday. Pulled like puppets by polls that say this is the view of the sheeple.

Dont tell ME about Fall Guy :smile:
I wanted to say to the Six Million dollar Man, but I chose a Lee Majors role I was more aquainted with.

That was back when men were men and women were too!

The larger society hasn't read the books, so it will popularize its own monikers: Generation X rather than 13ers; 911 instead of Millenials.

Actually the term Millennials for the current generation of youth may be catching on. I've seen it used elsewhere in the media besides here at t4t. For example, I read in an article this week that Chrysler Corp. refers to its up-and-coming target age group, 12 to 21 year olds who will buy their first car in a few years, as 'Millennials'.

The term '911 Generation' might well be applied to New Silents however -- as in the kids born after the event.

Actually, most people think of Dallas, which ran on CBS from 1977 through 1991, as an "80s" show also. It was 1980's "Who Shot J.R.?" summer cliffhanger that got everyone interested in the show.

Kevin, you make a good point and, although I compiled that list on the spur of the moment, I had thought about throwing in "Dallas" before hitting "submit." But for some reason, I was associating the show more with the late '70s and in the same period with "Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island" when all the hype came out that "Dallas" was big in England. I never could sit through the show myself so I did not have a clue how long it stayed on the air. But I believe the ones I named all came on the air at about the same time, just after Reagan was elected.

Hello, I dont remember the 70s, although I probably still have some deep seeded issues from child birth :smile:
Love Boat!!!!!!Love, exciting and new...
This is what Im talking about.
These shows started in the late 70s and spilled over into early 80s.
When I think of "80s" tv shows I think of Moonlighting and spencer For hire.
and 21 Jump Street :smile:
