As in what you drive on? The town I used to live in in Indiana was known as the roundabout capital of the country. More roundabouts per capita than anywhere else in America. And they had commercials.


yes. But I bet our commercial is so much better.

well, look who my new favorite poster is!



but no, I'm 26. It's a jarring feeling to argue with your husband "that movie JUST came out like 5 years ago!"
In fact, no. The Bourne/Harry Potter/LOTR movies are all at least 10 years old. I'm sure it just gets worse, but it's so weird to realize that "10 years ago" is no longer some random point when you were 8 years old. It's a clear memory now!

When is your 27th?
 
yes. But I bet our commercial is so much better.

WTF. Just think, someone's job was to come up with that.
 
Well, how would you feel about going to it's 20 year anniversary this year?

I was depressed as I watched Jurassic Park's 20 year anniversary release last year. That's not even the first movie I went to as a kid.


How would I feel about Lion King's 20th anniversary? Don't care much...However, the fact that it's my 20th HS reunion kind of makes me think...but it also allows me to join KC in calling you little pukes 'wet behind the ears', but yet also allows me to join you guys in talking in normal tones around KC and just assuming she can't hear us...cause she's old.

So it's a lose-win-win-win?
 
I was at a wedding this weekend and with the music that was playing during the dance it got me thinking.....

For many of the "classic" wedding songs- "Paradise By the Dashboard Light", "YMCA", "Greased Lightning", etc...... Those songs were original in the late '70's and early '80's- which is 35 years ago- and all the kids today still know all of the words and belt them out on the dance floor. When those songs were original or just before they were original were people at weddings then still enjoying songs from 35 years prior to that - circa 1942??? Also, 35 years from now- year 2045- will the kids then be singing the songs that are popular now or will they still be singing those "classics" from late 1970's?

Some, like the hokey-pokey will make it through, cause that song is old as ****. In 35 years, it'll be all Gangam Style, I Gotta Feeling, and Single Ladies. Because it will be the songs kids today grow up hearing their parents play. At least that's my shower thoughts version of it. I don't know what songs my grandparents listened to, but there's a reason I know 80's Alabama and Michael Jackson.

Though until the day I die, I'll be obnoxious and request Sweet Caroline at every damn wedding I attend.

40 years ago (around the time I married my first husband) the popular wedding songs were Paul Stookey - The Wedding Song; Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun; Fiddler on the Roof - Sunrise, Sunset. There were others, but those were HUGE, for the music during the wedding and/or the newlyweds' first dance at the reception. A lot of weddings were still using classics during the ceremony, like The Lord's Prayer (Mallotte) or Ave Maria (Schubert).

35 years from, we will be definitely be dancing to Gangnam Style at my second wedding...and then again at my third.
 
why would someone use a trash can as a footstool, then collect their trash in a plastic bag to throw out into a community trash every day?

My brother and I have done the alligator during Taking Care of Business at a few nephew's weddings. We usually can recruit some kids to do it with us. We're trying to pass it down to the younger generations before one of us isn't able to get back up off the floor.
