Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Another gem of a conversation today. I was telling a co-worker about one of the mom's that I hang with used to be a DeadHead and paid her way following them by sewing.
"What's a Dead Head?"
"Someone who follows The Grateful Dead as they tour.
What's The Grateful Dead?
Go away. Go away now.
I just got sucked back into mental floss! FUN!

What's The Grateful Dead?
My Mom is part of a public reading group and chose a Sholom Aleichem story for her performance. She had to explain who Sholom Aleichem was. Then she had to explain what "Fiddler on the Roof" was.
I don't know who Sholom Aleichem is.

I love Feminist Hulk. And now I have a new tag line.
What's The Grateful Dead?
I was under my hairstylist's comb one day when "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas came on the radio. I mentioned that I loved the song. She screwed up her face and said she'd never heard it before. I said, it's an old song. She said, like from the 80's? I said, no (argh), the 70's; it's by Kansas. She said, "The state?"
I don't know who Sholom Aleichem is.
He wrote the stories that "Fiddler on the Roof" is based on.
I didn't know Fiddler on the Roof was based on stories.
All I know about it is that there is apparently a fiddler on a roof singing about tradition. And he's Jewish.
