I am so out of touch with what's going on out there in the real world. These kids these days with their long hair and their rock-and-roll!
This afternoon my adorable new friend Elise mentioned "Guster" in an email. I had no idea what she was talking about. I thought it was a kind of junk food. I pictured it having some sort of delightfully salty cheesy filling, sort of like Combos. I had no idea it was (is?) a band until I did a -- gasp! -- Google search.
I'm so out of it. What's going to become of me? Or has whatever's to become of me already become? What's next? Am I going to look down and discover that I'm sporting a putty-colored acrylic cardigan and using phrases such as "Neato bondito!" and "Yeppers!" -- unaware that they've been replaced by hipper lingo such as "Fabamundo!" and "Yessiree!" ?
It's all too much to bear! I think I need a glass of Ovaltine or Postum to calm me down.
fresh-baked at 03:10 PMTell me, sc0tt ... do you nibble off the pretzel shell first, thus revealing the vulnerable cheesy goodness within, and then savor its salty delight ... or do you just pop each Combo in your mouth, whole? I love 'em, too.
Offered by: Jodi on July 9, 2002 11:55 AMi freakin' love combos...
Offered by: sc0tt on July 9, 2002 11:47 AMWow! My band actually played with Guster once, at URI. I didn't know that anyone outside the Boston area knew who they were though.
Offered by: aaron on July 7, 2002 9:55 AMHah. Try having a 19-year-old brother. I have no idea what he's talking about three quarters of the time. Even worse, I sometimes find some modern band I like and mention them to him, thinking how hip I am. Only to be told that whatever band I'm talking about is so, like, 5 minutes ago.
Offered by: Kim on July 6, 2002 11:09 PMI know I am older than dirt...so I appreciate anyone that can help keep me in the loop... and this one was news to me today... lots of kids are listing anime as a hobby or interest. First thought was ... hey, its a typo, but I guess not!

Offered by: Tess on July 6, 2002 6:52 PMWell, I keep up with a lot of things these days but I've never heard of that particular band either. So, don't feel bad.
