Old Saw:

“hate”, which is a teenage emotional response. As an adult…

Allmusic,

You are clearly content with the one you have but I wonder if you might come by some new ad hominem attack on say, ebay, or maybe ad_hominem.com, or AD HOMINEM WEEKLY. It’s probably a rare find but a while back I recall seeing a sense of humor offered at a rather modest price on ebay: which in itself could spruce-up your now faltering and played-out assault…but not utterly remake it–just a face-lift, of sorts.

Perhaps someone could loan you one of theirs (I mean, an ad hominem); that is, if you promise not to misuse it as you have this old saw. I have a few I could spare, but they’d probably be of no use to you as they are only appropriate to “over-the-hill liberals” and “buffoonish intellectual wannabes”…using any of them could put you in a real pickle (though pickling’s a preservative it is only effective on vegetables and fruits…hey, wait…)

To your credit–and I always appreciate this in you AM–you contain your prejudicial enthusiasms to age…of course, race, gender and class would just be sooo tacky: who could bear it…really? Still, I’d simply hate to think that you, as a mother of collegiate children, have come by this nasty little prejudice honestly. It can’t be all that bad, can it?

They say you’re never too old to change…well, here’s hoping!

Cheers, Old Girl!
