Conventional Wisdom

Hey look! Everybody’s favorite Conventional Wisdom characters are back! …and also Ted. Don’t be Ted, guys. (And just because I worry about this sort of thing, I promise Ted is NOT directly based on you or anyone else)

Also, free tip kiddos: Don’t go around saying “I only came for this one thing!” and expect it to earn you sympathy from anybody. It won’t. In fact, it’ll usually get you the opposite. If you loudly announce that you won’t participate in 99% of what’s going on this weekend, don’t expect the people running the thing to bend over backwards to appease you.

(Historical Notes: Just in case you thought these historical notes were getting too negative, I remind you that this “new” salty attitude was actually brewing for a LONG time.)
