there are subtle nuances in every single one of those EXCELSIORS, I'll have you LOL

You're not going to have fun checking into hotels.

I always have fun checking into hotels! But maybe you're confused. My surname isn't Dicks anymore now that I'm married - it's relatively innocuous, except that it's usually a man's first name ('tis St3ph3n).

That clerk's comments seem pretty clearly unprofessional! Right?

I mean that in a nice non-hostel way.

it was an hourly rate hotel

Yeah! I'm a sleazeball though so I joked right along with her. The other two couldn't really understand her Russian accent so I confirmed their suspicions in the elevator.

hah! Indeed, RS. ;)

It seems *slightly* less creepy now that I know it was a woman who said it. *Slightly* less creepy, but no less unprofessional.

I liked her because when I first approached, nervous and alone, she complimented my hair/sunglasses and made me feel like leaving Canada for 48 hours wasn't the big mistake I'd made it out to be.

"M'am, we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."

:( I'm nicer IRL I swear

of course there's more than one canon. there's an infinite number of canons. but the term implies a bit more recognition/cultural significance than "classic", which is a word the bro in my office used to describe the fact that i brought a banana to work with me in my bag this morning

this morning NPR was doing a story on the 20 year anniv of the rodney king verdict, and were interviewing kids who go to high school in the neighborhood where the riots happened, and this 17 year old girl's name was ARTESIA COX and it sounded like "I'LL TEASE YA COCKS"

I had to explain who Rodney King was/where "can't we all just get along" came from/what the LA riots were to a younger coworker awhile ago. I was sad.

i kinda think that can be forgivable. 'school history' kind of stops a few decades before its own present. unless you are a political junkie or have chatty parents i think your perceptions of the recent past can be pretty fuzzy when you're young (20s, say).

when i was a teenager i had very little clear understanding of what happened in the 70s and 80s, or even the 60s beyond soundbites and iconic images. i learned a lot from old doonesbury collections tbh

^true

kids raised on achewood are gonna be so confused

I read those Doonesbury books too, but had no idea who the hell Jerald terHorst was.

"It's your name...it looks like a typographical error."

(I also owe most of my knowledge of what the hell happened in the 70s and most of the 80s to Doonesbury, although this probably leads to some sort of lopsided knowledge, like is it really that helpful to be able to recall the significance of Stephen Weed?)

Sorry. Our last names are almost the same. We both comment/Like statuses that ENBB posts on FB, which her friends would see. I met her & her friend in person, mentioned my husband, and he was like "His name's Crut, right?" :)

this is hilarious!

It's time we faced what's inside our hearts!

you can't turn your face into your heart

wait... I didn't know that was where "can't we all just get along?" came from. now I feel dumb.

ha, tbf tho he never actually said that

Not those exact words. He said "Can we all get along? Can we get along?"

yup

the other line is from mars attacks

One small step for [a] man

My thoughts are often haunted at by remembering the girl in my 12th grade history class who did a pretty good video project on famed 1920's aviator Charles Lindbergh, which was all Ken Burns-style black and white footage and sepia tone photos until the end credits where it was vintage footage of airplanes while the music was inexplicably IN SCHOOL DEY NAVER TAUGHT BOUT HAMBURGAH OR STEAK, ELIJAH MUHAMMAD OR THA WELFARE STATE, AND I KNOW BECUZZA KRS-ONE

Do you mean "Last Faygo in Paris"?

That's the US title.

Last Shasta iirc

For some reason I thought I had already posted about how at CTY one summer I learned Big Empty off (The Crow) OST and played/sang it acoustic at the talent show. Later that day the girl I had a crush on came over to me and said "all the girls on my floor think you have a sexy voice," -- to which the only response I could muster was a squeaky "cool!" She made a grossed-out face and walked away.
