I was getting ready to go visit my Mom and had this bizarre vision 30
years into the future of an Australian Charitable Home for Aged
Powderworkers.a bunch of wrinklies sitting around in black T-shirts,
walls loaded with posters, CD towers filled with bootlegs stretching
down the halls.  The conversation will be devoted to ferreting out any
political conservatives in our midst, arguing about who can produce
proof of having attended the most Oils concerts, and bashing Breathe.
We'll be too deaf to hear anything but "Blot," which will play almost
continuously, making our grandchildren curiously reluctant to visit.
The elderly yobs will devise clever schemes for hiding their smuggled
fatties, and after a few tokes will become so confused that when the
20KRSL DVD is played on the big screen TV, they'll think it's a real
concert and will lob beer bottles and hearing aids at the screen.
 
The Lads will, of course, give it a wide berth.
 
- Beth
