Not That There Is Anything Wrong With That

My friend Richard has his IM client set to show what song is currently playing in his iTunes. I think he does this mostly so people like me can see the he and his musical selections are so much cooler than mine.

Remember kids, I’m a boring old pudgy married white guy. I have to look up the definition of “cool” whenever I use the term. I gave up on cool aeons ago.

Occasionally, I’m drawn to comment on what he has playing.

To Wit:

Jon: Dead or Alive!
Jon: you spin me right round, baby!
Richard: Do I? Do I really?
Jon: well, sure
Richard: yay!

His playlist switches to the next track, presumably a random selection.

Richard: donna summer!
Jon: oh my
Jon: as if there were any doubt about your gay-i-tude
Richard: *snaps*
Richard: lookin’ for some HOT STUFF!
Richard: bad girls!
Richard: talkin’ ‘bout sad girls
Richard: doot doot
Richard: beep beep

I can’t decide which makes me giggle more, the “doot doot” or the “beep beep.”

1. Now I want to use “doot doot” in a real-life conversation today.

2. Um, I thought it was “toot toot.”

3. Certainly a close reading of the text may indicate that it is “toot toot” and not “doot doot,” but who am I to argue with a gay man about Donna Summer lyrics?

   That’d be like arguing with the Pope about whether or not bears poop in the woods.

   :-]

4. Canadian bears “doot” in the woods.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
