I’m the King of Pop Culture.. Or at least the Half Blood Prince
Or I’m in the line of succession, somewhere, like a Duke, or Earl. The Kick Butt Earl of Pop Culture?
For those of you who read this blog, you may have noticed I have an affinity for pop culture, a love, and yes, perhaps even an addiction.
That’s because I’m a child of the 80’s, oh, and the 70’s, and any other decade that strikes my fancy.
A few weeks ago, I was watching a TV Show called Family Guy, In the midst of the episode they referenced “Timer the Cheese Guy”. (check out the videos Sunshine On a Stick and You Are What You Eat.
I had a flashback, a flashback to a simpler time. A time when orange men with top hats and a cane danced around singing about making popsicles, and making wagon wheels was common place. A Time, when wagon coaches filled with Hubba Bubba bubble gum were zipping accross the desert to deliver their oh so precious cargo.
I just about shot milk out of my nose.
If I had been drinking milk that is.
I just love when Pop Culture hits me upside the head.
In fact, I’d say that this blog, would testify to that.
Next week, I rediscover The Littles.
Have you started on HP yet?
Uh.. No.. I don’t go with the rest of the pack. I am a lone free ranger.
Shut up! The Littles!
Did you ever watch Slim Goodbody in school? He was this crazy 1970’s man with a bodysuit that showed musculature and veins and ligaments and such. I forgot all about him until one day he showed up on PBS at 1 AM.
You mean http://www.slimgoodbody.com/ that slim goodbody? Yes, I remember him, though I don’t want to.
I can also do a write up on Pinwheel and “You Can’t Do That on Telivision” as well 😉
