My mom is not giving up on poipped. She keeps saying, "That's so poipped!"

I just got this weird spam voicemail. All it said was "two hundred dollars in your account! AT&T cares about you!" Isn't that nice? They care about me! I don't even have AT&T.

in this YA novel i'm editing, there's a scene where a boy has to explain slides to a teenage girl because she's never heard of them (like, photo slides, not the playground kind). i've never felt so old in my life. i wouldn't be surprised if my bones turned to dust while i was typing this and my ancient body just blew away in a little puff of relic powder.

Wheeee!!! I'm on vacation!

I still have slide film in my freezer :(

So, is "that's so POIPPED!" Good or bad? Is it "that's so forked up" or "that's do forking awesome?

Also, my phone now thinks POIPPED is a thing. And that it needs to be in all caps. Thaaannnkkksss.

MFA thesis show in kodak slide glory 1 year before the digital revolution. Go me.

I also had a slide carousel and a screen to show them on. 4,000 pounds of metal to haul around. Good times.

This is what slide carousels were invented for! Not your neighbour's holiday snaps from Corsica.

I made it!

Also, slides!! I still have some slides of my work. It used to be what you had to send to places to get into shows. And naturally I managed to get my MA in photography riiiiiiiight before the digital revolution. So my degree was basically obsolete about a year after I got it. Hooray!

your degree is not obsolete! you have mastered a complex craft that today's digikids will never appreciate.

You guys said "carousel" and now "You'll Never Walk Alone" is stuck in my head and making me sad.

NO. You don't speak of that song! It makes me bawl my eyes out every forking time.

(assuming we're talking of the same thing and not some new fandangldy summat. It'd better not be a new Ke$ha thingo)

My stomach is making the most ridiculous noises. GLRUP! GLOOP FLOOP GLUP! BLOD.

Shaddup already.

When you walk through a storm... hold your head up high...

*weeping*

noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I only know it really in the context of football; watching a whole stadium of people sing it is just... aaaargh.

It's one of those songs that makes me want to cry.

Another one is by Conway Twitty (I think)- "It's Only Make Believe" or something to that effect.

*holding up lighter*

I have all the feels right now watching that.

Who is the scarf guy? He's cool!

Beyonce.

Or the equivalent, anyhoo. But with actual real singing!

(Gerry without his Pacemakers, actually)

OMG FOR REAL? That's wicked neat.

I also sang loudly and obnoxiously to that video and I'm pretty sure everyone in the house is uncomfortable. Especially the dog.

get that dog a scarf

She's not one for clothes. Not even small dog Snuggies!

I think it's supposed to be a positive. I'm sorry if this causes any awkward autocorrects on your phone! My mom seems to be convinced that if she says it enough, it will enter into the vernacular. Maybe she's right and everyone will be saying it in a few years.

I'll do my best to help spread it around.

We use slides at work all the time. Though we still have typewriters, too, so maybe that's not helpful.
