Going Like Sixty and His Top 20 Trends Edit

In honour of Mark (aka Going Like Sixty), I would like to declare today Mark-Day.  The reason is that Mark has been on fire, as our #1 Trend Hunter for several weeks.

The motivation? Mark describes, “Trying hard to remain relevant in a world of punks and chicks, I’m a boomer who has recognized more long-lasting trends in flyover country than anyone.  The fads may come and go on the coasts, but it’s not a trend until middle America adopts it.”
