Jill – I still don’t want to go to mine!

Angel – Who called you a baby? What do you mean I’m only cool when sending you schwag?

Gypsy – Yep, perfectly.

Oh my twenty year reunion was PERFECT, because my brother was getting married that day! So I got to swing by and say hello to people, get a quick catch up and then leave before I got caught up in any awkwardness. THE very best way to attend a reunion is to have a sibling get married the same day!

Carrie – Thanks.

Bluestreak – It didn’t really work that way back in the 80’s. It was all about conformity.

Trooper – 70/30, I reckon.

Jill – My twenty year reunion is coming up, but I can’t imagine anything I would like to do less!

Kathy F – That’s fantastic!

Jill – I never tried it that way, sounds like a good idea.

Alice – They really weren’t cool. Ever.

I pretty much hated Culture Club when they were at their peak. Mostly from the overexposure, I suppose (su-su-sudio, my ass!), but also because in my world, having been raised on Rolling Stones/Bob Dylan/Eric Clapton/The Who/Grateful Dead/Stevie Ray/Pink Floyd, they just weren’t cool.

But now, I have to admit, Karma Chameleon not only sets my toe a-tappin’, but it’s even gained a spot on my ipod…

I meant to say that my brother used to make good use of that homo sapien thing in elementary. Except he went on the offensive with it, accusing his tormentors of being homo sapiens and enjoying their frantic denial.

I believe I heard recently that Boy pled guilty to false imprisonment. His rent boy tried to meddle with his computer, so he chained him.

Misunderstandings happen.

Great post – so funny! You only find out how overrated being “cool” is way too late for it to matter.

My brother told me once that he wished he had realized in high school that many of the people who had it so together/were so popular/etc. were at their peak in life and that was pretty much it for them.

It’s true that when I went to my 20 year reunion the boundaries between the popular people and the rest of everyone was much fuzzier. And while there were people there who were unhappy in high school and were still unhappy twenty hears later, I don’t think a stranger could have pointed out who had been popular and who wasn’t twenty years later.

I always found the Homo sapiens retort a 50/50 toss up on getting a pounding or a laugh.
