10:04 am

rururocks

oh? really?

10:05 am

hokie carla

you other brothers can't deny

10:06 am

hokie carla

when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face you get sprung

10:06 am

hokie carla

okay, I'll stop now

10:06 am

hurshy

naturally since i turn every song into a song about cats, i have a version that goes "i like cute cats and i cannot lie"

10:07 am

hokie carla

you have embraced crazy cat lady

10:07 am

hurshy

yep

10:08 am

hurshy

although i saw a meme the other day that said something about cat ladies being normal and people who don't love cats being the crazy one

10:09 am

hokie carla

obviously meme made by cat lady

10:09 am

hurshy

and the funny kentucky vet, Matt McGlasson, posted a video the other day saying that there is a technical term for people who don't like cats - "dummy"

10:11 am

hurshy

i'm so close on Rs, just one more from the left

10:11 am

hokie carla

hurshy

nothing hard on the right R

10:13 am

hokie carla

found a one who does there

10:14 am

MollyL

How is one unaware of Baby Got Back?

10:15 am

hokie carla

I wanted to ask if he was living under a rock in the 90s but cali people are weird so I just let it go

10:15 am

hokie carla

ok, found the other right R

10:15 am

MollyL

And Hurshy embraced crazy cat lady long ago

10:15 am

penquis

well i stopped listening to popular music in the 80s, lol....hello all....

10:15 am

hokie carla

indeed

10:15 am

hurshy

i suppose if one lives idyllicly among the vines, soaking up sun and drinking wine, and doesn't listen to the radio...

10:16 am

MollyL

Or watch TV or speak with other living human beings

10:16 am

hurshy

phantom: angst

10:16 am

hokie carla

under a rock

10:16 am

hokie carla

the song has certainly been a part of pop culture for 30 years, even if you missed it originally

10:17 am

hurshy

you might know the song a little without knowing who sings it tho

10:17 am

MollyL

Now he'll say he has no idea who Bertha Butt is

10:18 am

origami

I never heard of that song either.

10:18 am

hokie carla

ok, now you've got me. no idea.

10:18 am

origami

And I don't live among vines :D

10:18 am

hokie carla

this is crazy

10:19 am

hokie carla

maybe you all are from alt universes that didn't have the song

10:21 am

penquis

or maybe some of us are considerably older than you all and didn't have teenagers then who listened to that music... ;o)

10:22 am

hokie carla

I guess. I am old now and don't know a lot of the current stuff.

10:22 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! Klingon delicacy where the food is still alive and squirming when you eat it

10:22 am

hokie carla

lol

10:23 am

penquis

you are probably 20 years younger than I am....

10:23 am

hokie carla

did you find that left R and what is my M?

10:23 am

origami

I am blissfully unaware of popular culture

10:23 am

penquis

Gagh... ;o)

10:23 am

hurshy

i didn't find the R

10:23 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

10:23 am

hokie carla

sorry, that was for hurshy

10:24 am

penquis

same here, ori....i pick up a People magazine at my hairdresser's and don't know most of the "celebs" in it...

10:24 am

hurshy

M, just one? they all come in pairs or groups

10:24 am

hokie carla

oh, I thought pen was complaining at my asking for guesses. didn't realize that was the answer.

10:24 am

penquis

klingon food...

10:24 am

hurshy

no yes gagh is the klingon delicacy lol

10:25 am

MollyL

Some people lead very isolated lives. They don't watch TV, don't listen to the radio, watch very few movies and don't follow social media. All the ways to get exposed to pop culture.

10:25 am

hokie carla

hmm, I have a set of 2, set of 2 with another set of 2 inside, set of 3, and then two more sets of 2.

10:26 am

hurshy

baby jesus was laid in the ma6

10:26 am

penquis

I watch tv, listen to the radio, see some movies, but don't do social media...we are just not all interested in the same things...

10:29 am

hokie carla

aha, thx

10:29 am

hokie carla

I wouldn't really consider that part of the animal disease group

10:30 am

hurshy

so hey Little House fans, i am reading a book called Little House on the Wasteland, that transplants the characters of the Ingalls family (minus Carrie) to a future in which America has collapsed and like no longer has an electrical grid and stuff so people are back to living in more primitive ways, it's pretty good

10:30 am

hokie carla

interesting

10:31 am

hokie carla

why would they leave out Carrie?

10:31 am

hurshy

i don't mean they time travelled i just mean they are re-imagined in this other setting

10:31 am

hurshy

um idk, i am not in the author's head

10:31 am

hokie carla

sounds like that would be a good movie or tv show too

10:33 am

hurshy

well, as with the original, if you did a tv show you'd have to make up a lot of extra stuff that isn't in the books

10:33 am

hurshy

but yeah you could do a movie

10:34 am

MollyL

Think of all the Little House versions you could do. Little House in the Ghetto. Little House in the Desert. Lilttle House in Siberia.

10:54 am

penquis
