Bitch Planet
Vox Magazine had an interesting article about a new feminist comic book titled “Bitch Planet.” This comic has deep and meaningful ramifications for society’s often misguided and misogynistic culture. But, since Life in the Boomer Lane stopped caring about comics once she got too old for Betty and Veronica, she doesn’t care about this. On […]
The Secret to Perfect Hair
November 20, 2014
Unless you have spent your life living pre-4000 BC, before the mirror was invented, you may have noticed that you have hair growing out of your head. Life in the Boomer Lane has noticed this since she was a toddler and her mother tried to comb her demented hair. Even putting bracing her foot against LBL’s […]
Love, Marriage, and Other Bad Stuff
November 17, 2014
Since 1990, the divorce rate for Americans over the age of 50 has doubled, and more-than-doubled for those over the age of 65. Over half of all grey divorces are to people in their first marriages, who have been married at least twenty years. This can either be interpreted as an attempt to avoid […]
Booty Pop
November 12, 2014
Celebs like Nicki Minaj, JLo, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian have given bodacious booties a big boost. Enter Booty Pop, a purveyor of padded panties. Booty Pop wants to be at the top of the bottom industry. Sales are up 47%, and customers are agitating for even more bountiful booty. Booty Pop hears them, and […]
Stalking and Being Stalked
November 10, 2014
It’s taken awhile for Life in the Boomer Lane to notice that she is being stalked by products she has searched for online. There are, apparently, companies, most likely founded and run by recently toilet-trained tots, whose job is to imprint whatever LBL searches for and to then cause those items to appear on […]
Dating: The Soft Breakup
November 9, 2014
Human beings have always had a hard time finding the “right” person. Back in prehistory, a lot of potential relationships were ruined by the untimely demise of a prospective mate, due to being eaten by large out-of-control mammals. The unsuspecting (and single) ones who survived were often hunted down and captured by singles on […]
Is There Such A Thing As A Happy Gene?
November 4, 2014
Contrary to what all of the grey-haired men whose girlfriends are twenty-somethings believe, this is not the happiest group of people on the planet. That distinction belongs to the Danes, who year after year, score at the top or near the top of the Happy Scale. Scientists have started to study why this might […]
How to Be A Good Jihadi Wife
November 1, 2014
It’s tough enough to be a good wife when one’s spouse has a 9-5 job. It’s a totally different kettle of fish to be a jihadi wife. Even a simple good-bye kiss at the door becomes quite complicated when one is wearing a burka and one’s spouse’s head is wrapped entirely in black cloth. […]
The History of Halloween
October 29, 2014
Halloween is the longest-running holiday ever in the history of the world, except for Take Your Pet to Work Day. Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, part of the Celtic culture. The Celts were a squirrelly lot. They had no central government, no big important person in charge of everyone, […]
Kanye, Kats and Kontroversy
October 27, 2014
Let’s be clear, right off the bat: This is neither a post about cats nor about Kanye. This is, however, a post about what happens once one writes a blog post that may be less-than-favorable, albeit satiric, about American icons. Let’s also be clear about something else: Life in the Boomer Lane is non-aggressive to […]
