Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me too!

Oooh, thanks for the tip, shrift.

You're welcome! It was on my agenda for this morning.

Man, '80s is retro already? Depeche Mode and The Breakfast Club were formative for me, so I guess it's cool if my uncool has become cool again. More people to get my cultural references!

Thrive to spite them

Some store, maybe Target, used Baby Got Back to sell backpacks for school but changed the lyrics so they were about back packs.

Maybe that's where they heard the song.

Aw, man. That's just wrong. I guess I'll have to keep using 'do you know all the words to "Every Rose Has Its Thorn"?' as a way of locating my cohort.

...and now not only am I earwormed for Every Rose but I can't get the video out of my head either.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Early 90s music might be tagging along with that.

The '80s didn't really end (or if you prefer, the '90s didn't really begin) until Nirvana broke through and what had been "alternative" became mainstreamed.

I remember that- yeah, it was Target. I laughed and laughed. Often Tom and I talk about backpacks (we both use them daily, so locating or asking to grab sometimes comes up) he'll start singing that. Which also makes me laugh.

It also got me on the ball in listening to the original more often, as it had been a while. Good times.

There's nothing like getting a table of over 25 drunken people to harmonize badly about cowboys singing their sad, sad songs
