Love it. Also, "collective internet psychodrama" is the phrase I needed to remember that the online madness is not, in fact, real life.

Hilarious! Makes me think of the word 'codger'. Do you use it in America? I am in Australia and it's not a particularly flattering word. Describes the old guys you are talking about - cranky, self-important, out of touch. I think we need to revive it's usage - name what we're talking about in a specific way.

FABULOUS idea! It's not a hugely popular word in America, but growing up in Canada we used it all the time. OLD CODGER SUMMER has a wonderful ring to it.
