This would have been somewhat more convincing if you had not earlier in the week derided Chuck E. Cheese parents as white trash drunks who were unconcerned about child injury so long as the cheap beer was flowing.

I'm on the west coast. Pacific time zone. Even now, it's more than an hour to midnight.

I have no idea what mumblecore or the Duggars are, but that is because of my double-plus uncoolness.

But the real reason I'm posting is to say that when I first read it, I thought the last word was "poops" instead of "pops" and was staggeringly confused.

I'd been glossing over mumblecore until now. I looked at the wikipedia entry and have never heard of the movies listed there. Which confirms I am not a hipster in case any of you was under some mad delusion that I might be.

Again, I only know of Ed Hardy from posts that mock it on textsfromlastnight.com.

"Douchebag" has been in my vernacular since the mid-90s.

I knew that there was a TV show about a family with a ton of kids (besides Jon & Kate + 8 + Sorority Sluts), but I didn't know they were the Duggars (until I googled it).

Hollister appears to be the B.U.M equipment of this generation.

In another year or so, Ed Hardy will be the Hollister of this generation.

I am allergic to Abercrombie & Fitch. Just FYI.

I don't understand clothing with names on it. I didn't get it when the Coca Cola shirts were in, and I don't get it now. Although I do have a pair of pants with the word "COUGAR" emblazened on my ass. But that is different and actually obviously appropriate.

I have a t-shirt with the name of a famous mumblecore director on it from before he was mumblecore. I got it on e-Bay.

Aside from jeans and workout gear, I don't have a single article of clothing with a visible label or logo.

I was dismayed to learn that Gilly Hicks, my favorite maker of panties, is owned by A&F. How could the discriminating, douchey A&F make such excellent and well-cut underwear?

Yep, I refuse to pay for something that is basically an advertisement. In 8th grade we were much less rational, though.

That means:

No Polo shirts;
Nothing with obnoxious exterior labels (although this is difficult for ski jackets/vests - almost all of them have labels...REI's labels, however, are very subtle).

I also would never buy a designer/fashion watch* or suit**. The best suit and watchmakers are those companies that specialize in suits and watches.

*outsourced watches made for designer labels such a Gucci, Prada, Chanel;
**Burberry, Prada, Gucci

8th grade is a marvelous time for brand name marketers.

I remember when I was in jr. high and wanted something with the brand name all over it. Fugee Dad said if you are wearing advertising for a company, they should pay you, you shouldn't be paying them to advertise for them. At the time I thought he was so off base but now I realize he is right.

The most horrifying retail experience I have had ever was at Abercrombie & Fitch. My boyfriend got a gift certificate from a relative so we decided to brave it so he could get a pair of jeans. First of all, we had to LINE UP to get into the store. Like it's a nightclub or something. Thankfully, we only waited 5 min or so. Then, it's pitch black in there. I kept tripping over stuff. Also, the music is blasting so you can't say what you need to the salesperson, who isn't paying any attention to you anyway. Also, it stinks. Absolutely stinks.

And they wouldn't let me in the fitting room with my boyfriend even though I just wanted to see how his jeans fit and we had absolutely no intentions of having sex or whatever they thought we were going to get up to because it's the unsexiest atmosphere ever. Also it is filled with Eurotrash and tourists and kids from Jersey and Staten Island. I am never going back in there.
