This is so common it appears, that one of the contributing producers and her friends have a name for an imaginary publication dealing with just this type of blathering, "Modern Jackass". if you are interested it's here: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=1251 I wish you had said the 21 years thing too. I would have enjoyed your description of her reaction; facial, verbal or otherwise.

I'm right there with you... ~carpeviam I hate when people speak passionately of things they know nothing of. They jump in with their remarks and simply make an ass of themselves.
