...Harvard Model United Nations (HMUN) conference, only a few years younger than myself, readily treated me like a grown up. I tried to inform them of their gross mistake. I purposefully dressed more casually. I sat on the floor Indian-style. I even sang horrible Backstreet Boys songs to show I was hip. All this posturing to no avail. The kids were convinced. At first I chalked it up to their own over-eagerness. As the dust settled, however, I realized that I was the one who was mistaken. In fact, every Harvard student who still believes that they...
...benefit for the gay-rights group Stonewall before an audience that included the wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair, John sang as the dancers stripped to their skivvies. The crowd seemed entertained, but the head of Britain's Scouting organization was not amused. In a letter to the show's organizers, he labeled the performance "deplorable" and demanded an apology.

...most circumstances, low-rent pro wrestling is so flimsy and fake that it would be difficult to get oneself excited by it. But suitably starved for thrills, this crowd of 500 or so camouflage-clad boot campers swallowed the whole show with a hoot and a holler. We (and I use the pronoun liberally) dangled candy in front of the fat wrestlers, yelled for push-ups from the fit ones, and screamed platoon slogans at one another. The usual stuff, and loved by most. The Army is full of wrestling fans, like your local bar - and for a couple...
