I watched kids with my mom when I was 17 or 18.

Was dillweed a Beavis and butthead thing?

Thoughts and prayers!

Has any of you ever SEEN a chicken?

Coo coo ca cha!

That was China's fault, or the democrats. Not Trump. Remember when he went to Puerto Rico and threw rolls of paper towels at hurricane survivors?

Are we doing bingo or a drinking game?

Wow, you must have been poor! /s

That's almost half a billion in one month between the two candidates. That money could have paid off a lot of student loans, daycare bills or medical bills.

Some additional context:

This was 99-00. There was no war. Both of my grandparents served in ww2 and Korea to gain US citizenship. My dad came up in the Vietnam era when all his friends were getting drafted (aka forced to go to war). He tried to enlist but was blind in one eye, so they didn't take him. My brother would have enlisted if it weren't for a really bad skateboarding injury.

If I were good at football, it would have been university coaches knocking on my door. I was good at something the military was interested in, so they tried to recruit me to enlist.

I was 18 on 9/11/01. And my first thought was that Bush would take us to war, I'd get drafted and I needed to plan my escape to Canada. This was scarier than being recruited. I just wanted to play my bass guitar and smoke my marijuana in peace.

My high school made everyone take the asvab. I must have scored well on it because the military was up my ass. I remember uniformed soldiers regularly ringing the bell and asking for me. I had zero interest in joining the armed services, but they kept coming. My mom started answering the door for me; yelling at them to get lost and leave us alone.
