[brianmanahan]

i was just reminiscing about the last decade and then realized it doesn't have a proper name yet. how about the roaring naughties?

this is what reminded me and got me stuck in a 10 year ago time warp:

Supposedly it's called the oughts. No-one calls it that though.

I wonder if people in the 1920-1929 era called it the "Roaring 20's" or something similar.

Because I think a similar phrase will be attributed to the 2000's.

Between the Columbian drug smuggling, overthrowing small countries, and sex with different ladies of the night every night , I suppose the "naughties" works.

The disastrous catastrophic total global meltdown fucking shit-ass horror decade from hell has a nice ring to it.

In my head, it's still the early 2000's, it's crazy to think that 2000 was 15 years ago. When I see a date, like say, 2005 on something, I think "that's not that old... wait that's freaking 10 years ago!"

It's so far after 9/11 now that 9/11 jokes are not "too soon" any more. Ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpSxhFLrIWo

You could even use that to apply to this decade as well, since the melt-down is still going. That's what I call value!

I actually bought a few pairs of those zip off pant leg pants...they were great because the material in the pants was lightweight, thin, and packed well for travel or backpacking (which is why I bought them)....but yeah...not so stylish.
