things getting better – teenage girls

As a gymnastics coach, I work with a lot of teenage girls.

Troubled teens, I’m oft to call them.

Over my lifetime I’m convinced that young ladies have gotten more confident, savvy and funny.

I first started noticing the trend in the mid-1990s. Teen girls were smart, organized and independent. Teen boys were … the same. Teen boys.

The internet, especially Facebook, has really liberated their creativity. I’ve seen stats showing over two thirds of the posts are by females. But the GOOD posts are about 90% female.

Facebook has not changed teen boys one jot.

Girls are better communicators than boys. And Facebook gives them the chance to really go crazy.

In this Facebook photo one girl is proposing marriage to another. She’s even offering a ring.

Hilarious.

… Am I wrong?

I’ve never had anybody else concur with my theory.

Bob and Doug – 12 Days of Christmas

… the classic Twelve Days of Christmas song sung by Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis. …

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Bob and Doug were hosts of a legendary bit on Second City Television (SCTV) , the Canadian poor man’s version of Saturday Night Live.

… Ironically, the most popular sketch was intended as throwaway filler. Bob & Doug McKenzie, the dim-witted, beer-chugging brothers in a recurring Canadian-themed sketch called Great White North, were initially developed by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas (Bob & Doug, respectively) as a sardonic response to the CBC network’s request that the show feature two minutes of “identifiably Canadian content” in every episode. …

Never have the CanCon rules so backfired. Many Americans assume ALL Canadian guys are either Bob or Doug.

To this day I still refer to my homeland as the Great White North.

(RUDE but funny) … I just had sex

From the same guys that brought you the ruder and funnier, I’m On A Boat (ft. T-Pain) …
