That was....Then

Having dinner with Matthew and Chad last night...La Teresita no less....I was exposed, again, to some very different lingo.
The two of them are involved in a very creative marketing project for Matt’s benefit since his major is marketing.
Chad is several years down the road in successful experience in this field so he has cooked up a project in order for
Matthew to implement some of his ......NOW ‘book learning’.
I had to laugh at their humorous antics with each other and I was taken aback at some of their marketing words.
...........no yuppies today.....dinks....dual in-come, no kids.

Each year the staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin puts together a
list to try to give the faculty a sense of the mindset of this year's
incoming freshmen. Here's this year's list:

The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1983.
Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.
The CD was introduced the year they were born.
They have always had an answering machine.
They have always had cable.
They cannot fathom not having a remote control.
Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.
Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.
They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.
They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.
They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.
They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or "de plane Boss, de plane".
They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.
McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.
They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Time warp is around every corner....
That was then....this is NOW!
Let’s continue to make It a Good Life...NOW!!!
