    People who use old style razors and shaving products. I've heard these kooks even have a web site where they talk about shaving gear and share their shaving experiences!

    I have several pairs. I'm in IT. It's much easier to pull tools out of a pocket at the knee than to try to hold a toolbox in a ceiling. Those tool belts don't cut it for a toner tracker, etc. My complaint about them is that they're so damned baggy, so they catch on things.

    They do make some glasses like this specifically for exercising the eyes. I doubt that's what you were seeing, however.

    Lawn Darts - why do people keep making a fuss over these? I mean, you can do JUST as much damage by playing croquet, if you get a fool that thinks it's golf. They're weighted darts that you throw. Okay - why do people blame the darts for someone being in the target zone? That's like blaming hail for hitting you in the head.

    fidget spinner. I have one that looks like a brass ship's wheel behind me. I pull it out periodically when I need some sort of motion, but I can't really go moving around much. I'm a hyperactive. (I need to re-press the bearing, however. Somehow it crept out to one side. I just haven't put it in a vise yet)

    To me, the biggest silly trend right now is 'Crypto Currency'. You can't hold it, it's easy for people to steal, and if you forget a password, you'll never have it again..

    Pokemon Go is a rediculous trend. I know people that are 50+ years old that play that stupid game. Not to mention it uses your camera to link reality with virtual reality. Plus people walking off cliffs and jumping out in traffic to catch a Charzard lol. It defies reason and common sense.

    I don't understand why they portray Col. Sanders this way. He looks and acts like a southern plantation slave owner. The fact that they specialize in fried chicken really drives the message home. In this day and age rascism is presented in this "hidden" or backdoor kind of way. Everytime I see a KFC commercial it makes me imbarassed to be white because it reflects poorly on all of us.

    Sorry for the rant.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    We had three guys who were robbed playing it. Somebody set up one of the Pokemon or whatever for people to chase to their location, then would rob them at gunpoint. Yeah, who didn't see that one coming eventually?

    I am going to say it. Being gay it seems to have become a trend. Heck you have very young teens claiming they are gay. At that age you don't know anything. Now that is just silly.

    Lol yea I heard of things like that happening. Aparently in my neighborhood you have to walk thru this dark alley behind the liquor store, it must be some kind of checkpoint or something but why they chose this location is baffeling.

    How about parents saying their 2 year old is a "transgender" because he likes the color purple (or some other rediculous reason). I really feel bad for the younger generation, they will be completely confused and screwed up when they grow up. It's all part of the agenda.

    I feel sorry for them also but I feel worse for us as they are the future leaders. God help us all.

    I have to deal with teens, almost everyday, and its scary to see the number who are diagnosed Depressed, Bipolar, ADHD, Opositional Defiant, etc. A huge amount are prescribed mood altering medications. I blame the computers, and social media for confusing them all. As well as parents afraid to discipline their own kids. Instead, it straight to the therapist, or Psychiatrist.
    And yes, they are screwed up as they turn into adults.
    Unlimited Cell Phone/Internet Use by Kids. That's the worst trend I known.
