Yup. They’ll stay hard and bitter, and then just develop pockets of mold inside them.

Being born in 77 I was always under the impression I was considered Gen X, the generation of angst and apathy. Meh, fuck if I care. Rotary phones transitioning into AOL, check. Do I eat avocado toast, no, but do love me some guacamole and can’t argue with “good cholesterol/fats” at my age.

I was born yesterday. Back in my day we walked to and from school 5 miles uphill both ways, through 4 feet of snow, with nothing but shoes made of rusty baling wire, when it was 100% humidity and it felt like the sun was 2 inches from your face, after working a double 48 hour shift at the dust mine, for the second day in a row. All we had to eat was a cold bowl of gravel and swamp water last week. And we liked it. [shakes fist at sky]

I wish I'd been born in 1956 instead. The late 60s and the 70s were so groovy everywhere.
Speaking of phones, I love seeing Kojak bum a quarter off a hooker to call the precinct from a payphone and yell at Crocker. It doesn't get any cooler than Telly Savalas in full Theo Kojak regalia.
Whenever I have to make a decision I always ask myself "What would Theo Kojak do?"

Used to be getting old felt like: Molasses flowing uphill in January;
now I'm never sure how old I really am 'cause gettin' old is like: steaming-hot whale-shit sliding off an iceberg.
I hated the sliminess of avocado, right into "adulthood...
... but then a friend made a layered guac dip with sourcream, salsa, guac, seasoned refried-beans & BACON
— now i like avocado (except in Hong Kong).
The avocados sold to Hong Kong are purportedly from Mexico and sometimes passed off as Californian,
but really they are gangrenous-green mould-pocket botched-surplus-experiments, sold off by a Peruvian toxicology lab.

Back then, a pay phone was just a dime.
I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time...
