Blank look. Well, she's young.

Then M (aka self-proclaimed end-all be-all expert on all things pop culture) comes along. He'll get it.

Blank look.

WHAAAAAAA? Hong Kong Phooey? The Shining? Twilight Zone: The Movie? Chico and the freaking MAN?

Sigh. Youngsters.

On a recent hike, there was a sign that said our campsite was 1/4 mile away. I had noticed just a day before that the kids today read that differently than I do, so I did a little experiment and asked everyone going by what the sign said.

All the dads told me the campsite was a quarter mile away.

All the boys told me it was one fourth of a mile away.

I thought that was interesting, and I still do.

Good link.

Thanks, XOB.

:lol:

You know, I reckon two blokes so car-dependent and lazy as to treat the border fence as a drive-through ... are practically Americans already. let 'em in!

That I was somehow banned from the cellar for the day. :)

Yup Ali got caught in the net I set up to catch Chinese spammers. I took the entire net down to let her back in - because we don't need it now due to Akismet, and the special registration question about the tallest mountain in the world.

I had no idea Ali was chinese!
