Conversation with a college buddy
It may give the kids ideas.
Me:
That’s a damn shame.
Don’t let the kids watch it.
I’m also not allowed to watch the Simpsons.
Me:
We watch it after they go to bed.
Or Red Green.
etc. etc.
Me:
What? That’s an american staple (Simpsons)
I watch Red Green, anyway.
Me:
We don’t get him here.
I never got him when I was there. Haha.
Son wanted me to take him to the “Yellow people movie”
Me:
haha.
I haven’t seen it yet but the kids loved it.
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”.
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.
Ja!
Me:
I’m not sure my mom caught on to that.
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.
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
One was a nurse??
Me:
I was always a Janet fan, anyway
She was OK looking, but not too huge.
The oother one was better in that department.
Me:
Mary Ann for the 80s
Of course, I had the hugest crush on Valerie Bertinelli, then Lisa Whelchel.
Me:
Lisa Whelchel?
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!
Word.
Me:
haha
I”m down with all that.
I see that VB is available again.
Me:
totally.
Eddie VH is an asshole
I’m sure I stand just as good a chance as I did in the ’70’s.
Me:
hmm, maybe not
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?
You could change it to Gustav Euler.
That’s my Second Life name.
Vital Statistics
This is a screenshot from Thomas’ computer last week. It shows the “History” menu in his web browser. Behind the the menu, you can see parts of the article he was reading on Wikipedia: Eroticism. Click the image to open a window with a larger version.
I stumbled upon this information one night because he kept using his computer when he was supposed to be in bed. Tina busted him several times and so I checked on him remotely from my office (all of the computers in our house are remotely viewable/controllable from my office computer). He was no longer using his computer, but I was surprised to find that he was reading an article on eroticism. I told Tina the next day and we agree to talk to him about it.
In the meantime, I pondered how he had even thought to look up “eroticism” on Wikipedia. We considered that he might have gotten some inappropriate spam, but I checked his email and didn’t see anything like that. Then I thought to check his browsing history and obtained this screenshot. The “History” menu shows all of the pages that you have accessed in the order that you accessed them. More recent pages are at the top and go down in reverse chronological order. So you can see that he started at Wikipedia’s front page where he clicked on a link to “relationship”. This took him to something called a “disambiguation page” – a page designed to resolve word ambiguities by summarizing the articles for each use of the word. From there, he clicked on the link to “romantic love” which has links to “free love”, “puppy love” (which has a link to “crush”) and, finally, “erotic love”, which redirects to the “Eroticism” article.
When Tina and I asked him about it (separately and non-chalantly), he said that he just clicked on a link in Wikipedia and then clicked a bunch of others after that. Moreover, he said he didn’t really understand any of the articles. We told him he could ask us about stuff like that if he wanted to know more and he said, “OK.” And that was the end of it. At least for now.
