Am I Cool? Or Am I Nerd?****
(Sorry for the repeat info, Rosanne!)
So we had dinner out (in a real restaurant!) with some church folk today.
One of them was marveling over the stupid stuff at YouTube... apparently he’d just discovered it through some lazy coworkers who had the audacity to watch idiotic stuff while they were supposed to be working ...
So I proudly said, “I have something on YouTube!†and they asked, “What?!?!?!†and I said a short clip of Darth Vadar dancing*, and someone asked, “What’s he dancing to?†and I said, “Safety Dance†and someone around our age, who apparently has lived in a hole** all her life, said, “What’s Safety Dance?!?!?â€
I had to say only the COOLEST song EVAH (next to anything Adam Ant did).***
They just didn’t get it.
(wanders away shaking head sadly)

* You might have seen this before. And no, it's not new and improved.
Okay, in my defense, I didn't take the pictures, Gark did, so I only had a few images to work with. And the horrible quality is mostly YouTube's fault, it compressed it when I uploaded it. It looks really, uh, great here on my computer. Yeah. That's the ticket. On my computer? There's like costumes and a disco ball, too. No, really. And back-up singers.
** Um, no offense to anyone else who has also lived in a hole. I've heard they're nice.
*** Except that gorilla thing. Which is almost enough to make me crawl in a hole. We'll just pretend he's not related to his former self. 'Kay?
**** Uh, we better pretend that the subject is rhetorical, too, eh?
did you follow all those *'s ? A bit too many, I think. Even I got a little confused with the blog flow today. Consider it an exercise in creative mental path following. It's good for your brain. No, really.
What are the chances they drugged my beverage at the restaurant? The more I re-read my own entry, the more I'm thinking I'm on something.
