The natural enemey of a test-tube baby.
Joke referring to the Azaria/Lindy Chamberlain case in Australia in the early 80's. Lindy's baby daughter Azaria was taken from a central Australian campsite by a dingo. Lindy was convicted of her murder but the baby's jacket was found in a dingo's den a few years later and the conviction was overturned. "A dingo's got moi baibee!"

A. A dingo with a straw! |

A cohert of people commonly known as the Millenials, or the Next Greatest Generation. The actual demographics of the birth boom occurred between 1980 to 1994. Meaning those born from the beginning of 1980 to the end of 1993. Those born in 1994 and after are excluded. They are the children of the Baby Boomers (post WW2 1945-1964) and are known as the Echo Boomers. They remember a time before the technology boom of the mid to late 90's and grew up influenced by Cold War Era, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the attacks on 9/11, 1992 Rodney King Riots, the late 80's early 90's recession, the Gulf War, and the Y2K bug. The latest members of Generation Y were born during the presidency of George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the US. They grew up without cell phones, but rather pagers, without Ipods, but rather CD players, without computers, or internet. Internet had only begun to become widespread in early 1994, hence the end of the generation. They remember the early toys of the late 80's and early 90's such as Gameboy, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, N64, Furby, Pogs. Popular sitcoms of the generation include Full House, Saved by the Bell, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Bay Watch, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Married with Children. As well as cartoons such as Dragon Ball Z, the Pinky and the Brain, Ren and Stimpy, Beavis and Butthead, Doug, the Animaniacs, etc. generation y gen y milennials the millenials echo boomers children of baby boomers baby boomers generation z gen z next greatest generation the next greatest generation greatest generation baby boom rodney king riots y2k y2k bug gulf war collapse soviet union george h.w. bush george bush pagers super nintendo sega genesis 1992 cold war more...

|
Ignoring or taking some time away from your significant other to enjoy some "me" time. A reference to the 80's chick flick "Dirty Dancing" in which Patrick Swayze's charachter (Johnny) derides Baby's father (played by Jerry Orbach) for seating her in a corner. It's high time I put Baby in a corner and get the hell out of town for a few days with my posse.
