my quote of the weekend

[gsh]

Conversations with blushing_grace can be interesting. Today's variant went like:

BG: It was air trumpets, you know, like air guitars.
me: When I do air guitars I like to do them Pete Townsend style.
BG: Who?
me: *pause to see if the pun was intentional* *faceplant when it was clear it wasn't*

Modern life then joined in when someone got their iphone and went to wikipedia's entry on Pete Townsend.

1. Okay, that's funny.
2. Didn't know the Who? Ow.
3. How about air trumpet in Doc Severinsen-style?
4. Hey, Armenian-style lists! (Apologies to any Turks reading this.)

That was me. I forgot to log in.

I know the group - just not the names of the members!

What a teenage wasteland!

Oh, the pun pain!

This!

It wasn't that she didn't know who Townsend was. If I had said "When I air guitar I like them to do it Eric Clapton style", BG would have had to reply "Cream" for it to be funny, and somehow I don't see that happening by accident.

No, no. being who I am, I would have had her exact reaction. Including the 'I know the group, not the band member names'

[gsh]

Oh, I'm pretty lousy with band members myself.
