A Cultural Gap Exists.

So I was talking to A1 today about swimwear. She'd like to buy some, she asked me where I shopped and I told her. Then she said something about a hot tub. So I broke out into the Eddie Murphy SNL rendition of "Hot Tub."

She looked at me quizzically.

I did it again.

Even more quizzically.

It was then I realized a true cultural divide existed between us. She is 23 and I am 35 and that is not twelve years, it is 1,200 years in terms of generations. So we quickly went to YouTube and she was cured of her missing cultural knowledge.

But then she said she had watched some old SNL videos, "you know, with that one guy that overdosed." Just as I was about to say, "John Belushi" she said "Chris Farley."

Old SNL videos indeed. Harrumph.

But now I can say I have seen Eddie in gold spandex. Come on...that has to be better than Carb Day, Point 38 Special, and Soup Du Jour. ;-)

A1: this was your cultural lesson for the day.

Liam: thank you. Believe me, my rendition of 'hot tub' would have made anyone pee their pants with derisive laughter.

Ah yes...Celebrity Hot Tub party. Good times.

My question is did you do the aghh burned my toe move with your Hot tub dance?

Jay: well, yeah, of course. Good times!
