Andy Rooney And The “Big Awkward Boy”

Andy Rooney's monologue last night started out innocently enough: it's graduation season, which is a great time of year, Andy himself didn't graduate because he was fighting in WWII, but he once sat for several hours at a college graduation, watching over 500 kids get their diplomas...and then that's where the underminer part of ole' Andy kicked in. Andy finds himself wondering "who would be successful and who wouldn't be. Who would get a good job, who would be happily married, and who wouldn't be." And then he introduces us to the Big Awkward Boy.

Gah, pity Big Awkward Boy's grandparents, who sat down with popcorn for their weekly Andy only to see their dear grandson, face pixelated, displayed to the world as Andy's idea of an almost-failure. And remind me never to celebrate a milestone in the presence of Andy Rooney.
