Comments on: Early Baby Boomers Are the Original Steampunk http://goinglikesixty.com/2008/02/18/early-baby-boomers-are-the-original-steampunk/ Baby Boomer guy writing about stuff of interest primarily to boomers, or people who know one. No politics, few rants, attempted humor. Suitably old, mysteriously advanced.

Googi? What is that? Two Googles? I'll Google it. Our decor is pee where you please, exploded dog toy and fiberfill factory. @Gretchen: I think you have a meme idea: Sixty things you would put in your kitsch room.

Our ideas: a kitsch room (statues of the Virgin Mary, paintings of kids with huge eyes or dogs playing poker); a Googi room (boomerang coffee tables, etc.); a Southwestern room (because I do sort of like earth tones and cacti); and a Colonial/Shaker/New England bedroom (rag rugs, Hudson's Bay point blankets, etc.). Right now our decor is a lot like a Fisher-Price factory exploded in a college dorm room, with red wine stain accents. I’ve often visualized having a different “theme” in each room of the house.

When we win the lottery, one of my houses will be very, very modern. But to have a Steampunk billard room would be wild. @Gretchen: Old Doc Brown was on the tv tonight!

Puts you in mind of Doc Brown from the "Back to the Future" movies. When my kids grow old enough to refrain from destroying everything in my home (should I live that long), I'm so going with Steampunk decor. Oh Lord, that shit is stylish.
