Aloha!

I was talking with a couple of twenty-something friends the other day and somehow we got on the subject of High-School sterotypes - you know jocks, nerds, slackers, beauty queens, and so on...

One of my friends said, "Art, which one were you in school - I bet you were a jock type."

Hardly. But just as a joke I said, "No, in High School, I was Spicoli."

(I was probably more of a cross between Brad and Ratner)

Anyway, In unison my friends said, "WHO?"

You know, Spicoli, Jeff Spicoli???

Blank looks...

Spi-co-li - Spicoli from 'Ridgemont High'.

And, I swear to you, one of my young friends shrugged and said, "Don't know him, I went to [name of local High School]."

True story!

Hilarious! How fast time flies. I was more like the girl in the 'halo' (due to scoliosis?) in "Sixteen Candles". Ok, not really, but I sure could identify with her...

That LutherPunk, he's the full hot orator!

Kay, YES - Sixteen Candles is another movie the twenty-somethings won't identify with...

Man, it sucks getting older.

Man, that is almost as depressing as the time I was working at Starbucks and one of my co-workers, upon hearing my age (30 at the time) said, "Wow. You remember when John Lennon was shot?!???" I just nodded and steamed some more milk. Dang!

Susan, yeah, like can you believe that there were people around back before they had the internet???

Like, dude, way back when Adam and Eve had to ride dinosaurs to church.

How dare we to be so not young and oblivious!
