Conversation with a college buddy

Gustav Euler: I’m not allowed to watch South Park.
It may give the kids ideas.

Me:
That’s a damn shame.
Don’t let the kids watch it.

Gustav Euler:
I’m also not allowed to watch the Simpsons.

Me:
We watch it after they go to bed.

Gustav Euler:
Or Red Green.
etc. etc.

Me:
What? That’s an american staple (Simpsons)

Gustav Euler:
I watch Red Green, anyway.

Me:
We don’t get him here.
I never got him when I was there. Haha.

Gustav Euler:
Son wanted me to take him to the “Yellow people movie”

Me:
haha.
I haven’t seen it yet but the kids loved it.

Gustav Euler:
Wife asked him why, since he’s never seen them. “Daddy lets me watch them!” Doh!

Me:
haha! The Simpsons is our “All in the Family”.

Gustav Euler:
My parents usually let watch that.

Me:
Us too.
My dad later had a thing for Three’s Company.
Hmmm, late 40’s and jiggly women.

Gustav Euler:
Ja!

Me:
I’m not sure my mom caught on to that.

Gustav Euler:
Chrissy and her cousins.
My mom’s favorite was Mr. Roper.
I’m hoping it wasn’t a statement about bathmate hydro pump and their sex life, or lack of it.

Me:
I don’t think about it.

Gustav Euler:
Since Mrs. Roper was always complaining about Mr. Roper’s lack of interest.
THen Susanne Somers asked for too much money, and we only saw her on the phone 30 seconds per episode, then she was gone. Replaced by at least two other large-breasted blondes.
But neither of them had the staying power of the thigh-master.
So, there ya go.

Me:
wow, your memories are more vivid than mine

Gustav Euler:
One was a nurse??

Me:
I was always a Janet fan, anyway

Gustav Euler:
She was OK looking, but not too huge.
The oother one was better in that department.

Me:
Mary Ann for the 80s

Gustav Euler:
Of course, I had the hugest crush on Valerie Bertinelli, then Lisa Whelchel.

Me:
Lisa Whelchel?

Gustav Euler:
Blair on “The Facts of Life”

Me:
I liked VB but also the girl on “Family”
that played the tomboy…
had an actor brother…
Christy McNichol.
she was hot!

Gustav Euler:
Word.

Me:
haha

Gustav Euler:
I”m down with all that.
I see that VB is available again.

Me:
totally.
Eddie VH is an asshole

Gustav Euler:
I’m sure I stand just as good a chance as I did in the ’70’s.

Me:
hmm, maybe not

Gustav Euler:
Probably less of one, since I”m now married.

Me:
I would like to put this conversation on my blog. Would you mind? Should I change your name?

Gustav Euler:
You could change it to Gustav Euler.
That’s my Second Life name.

Nadia’s Theme

Current reading: Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now by Barry Miles, 9-11 by Noam Chomsky
McCartney Trivia: Nearly all Lennon/McCartney compositions can be described as verse/chorus/verse/chorus/”middle eight”/verse/chorus. John and Paul could not read music so they called all middle passages the “middle eight” regardless of the number of measures. The last verse was frequently just the first verse repeated to really drive it home and make it memorable.
