Member "gag me?" or better yet "gag me with a spoon!" Oh, how I loved the 80's.

And I second Erin's "bodacious!"

We should all watch Napoleon Dynamite and bring some of his lingo into the 2009's. Now that cat's got it going on.

I felt a smitch of my grey matter go Pfsst! while I was reading your blog, leaving me with this recollection:

There were three pieces of rope wandering in the desert. They were very hot and thirsty. They came upon a bar and one went in. He asked for a drink and the bartender said, "Read the sign, buddy, we don't serve ropes."

"Oh, come on. Just this once?" the rope asked again. The bartender refused him, so the rope left.

The second rope figured he was a bit better looking and maybe the bartender would soften a little and let him have a drink. He went in and ordered a drink. The bartender shook his head and said, "Listen mack, it's just like I told your friend, we don't serve ropes here." Dejected the second rope left the bar as well.

The third rope, hearing both of their stories, thought for a moment. After contorting and plumping his hair, he went into the bar and asked for a drink.

The bartender asked, "Hey, are you a rope?" "Nope," replied the third rope, "I am a frayed knot."

(Feel free to groan.)

Brilliant letter! I cannot recall what the popular slang words of the 80s were. Of course they had to be, as there is in each decade, I simply do not recall.

2009-07-16T13:38:41.101-04:00

Ha ha! I actually have to stop myself from saying NOT! from time to time. Sometimes it seems necessary when the person your talking to fails to catch your sarcasm.

2009-07-16T13:23:54.724-04:00

Reading this post whisked me back to the days when my son was a few years old and used NOT in everything he said!

"Gettin' Jiggy Wit It"

This is seriously crazy.

My 8 year old son has been using this all week.

He loves to tell me, "I just peed my pants...NOT."

I have no idea where he heard it.

2009-07-16T11:57:22.526-04:00

OMG, people don't still say that? Or DUDE? Apparently I am not as rad as I think I am. This whole thing is making me feel sort of gnarly. It's ok that I still say awesome, though, right? Oh, crap, it's probably - um - NOT!

2009-07-16T11:30:02.209-04:00

NOT!!! was a big thing when I was in high school so right now I am feeling horribly old. (Wish I could add a NOT!!! there but I can't!)
I think I'll go with PSYCH!!! instead! ;)
