Sweeping Generalization Thursday
I would like to start a new tradition on this blog of stating a Sweeping Generalization every Thursday. This idea came about through a conversation with my friend Half in which he said, "All girls are right. At least we guys let them think so." Or something to that affect and then he declared it Sweeping Generalization Thursday and I thought that was a lovely idea so I swiped it for my blog. As I am want to do. So, here's the first. Please add your own.
"Women baristas make better lattes than men."
I actually stole this off of some other person's page after googling generalization, but it seemed as a good a place to start as any.

On the contrary. A woman can make a decent latte, but she can also make an extraordinary man.
I'll add mine visually. Ok, pretty lame, but I happened to have just run across it.
Oh what a tangled web or words you weave, david!
There is no really good Mexican food on the north side of the US. There is no really good Canadian food.
The word verification choices are subliminal messages from the marketing department.

Norm, you really crack me up with your word verification definitions. And I'm not generalizing about that.
"Weekly" traditions almost never catch on, and when they do they just become unbearably tedious.
Now to think of one for next Thursday!
Yeah, weekly traditions are tedious and eventually they become that thing that you take great joy in flouting and ignoring just to feel like a rule breaker...
I give this one a month and a half.

You always say that. Sheesh!
Thursday's a lousy day for making sweeping generalizations.
