That's why the little dears are such whining pussies...if they aren't
careful they'll grow up to be like Lil' Wayne, a monstrous fate indeed.

Heck, if you remade _The Honeymooners_ today you couldn't even have a Mrs.
Manicotti...Ed Norton couldn't be the coach of the stick ball league 'cos he
doesn't have a PhD...Trixie and Alice would have to be wimmin's
libbers...etc...they couldn't even have that "Neapolitan Knockwurst" that
Ralph so craves.

I've sat down some yung un's to watch some _Honeymooners_ episodes, some are
"SHOCKED" by the "sexism", etc. That's what life was like - and largely
still is...and Alice and Trixie were TOUGH, that made 'em strong, and so
they always ruled the roost.
