The plot line was necessary for James to "find himself" sexually, since the Twin Peaks girls were being such indecisive high school turkeys.
I want one of those baguettes with cheese that Jerry was eating. Right now.
I meant 90s James and Evelyn, because they don't make softcores like they used to back then. What constitutes a softcore nowadays anyway? A Rihanna video?
I would watch a softcore with James and Evelyn.
Exactly. My age is 41. (How is that a surprise or a mystery?) Which is why you calling me grandpa or a child (alternately) falls flat.
With you on the other hand, being an actual Pinterest Grandma, with your overuse of emojis on the tablet, boasts about your porcelain skin and thick hair, tabloid talk about botox, Tesco's runs for missing recipe ingredients, hormonal mood swings, furious use of ellipsis while typing in the doctor's waiting room, holidays to Spain, etc etc it is clear you are in slight denial of your senior status.
Finally: She admits her personality disorder. Wish I could have had that warning at the beginning.
Maybe try some Melatonin?
BTW, I don't even know what emojis you're posting. They just show up as squares or weird symbols.
It's so sweet how seniors try to use up all the emojis on their tablets. It's like they think they're doing "what the kids are all doing these days", "With the LOL and the WTF," but actual kids don't even bother with that big list of emojis. My mom sends me messages with emojis and I have no idea what they are supposed to be.
So which is it?: I'm a little baby or I'm older than you?
I have/had no idea what was a bestseller then. Was just a high school kid trying to go to punk rock shows and be weird, make edgy commentary on Reagan and Bush, and read the classic literature. Then off to college and no media contact. I didn't discover the Secret Diary until I ran upon it in a bookstore in ~95-6. I had seen TP and developed my own mythology about it and had *word-of-mouth* discussions of it. It's not like fandom scenes nowadays where first thing ppl do is Google and join the chat group and buy every piece of media and sign up for the newsletter and catch the latest YouTube or whatever. I'm talking purely memories of actually experienced events.
So do you remember watching Donahue back then and/or seeing the Diary on display in stores?
I haven't been, but yeah, evidently you can go to the various sites where they filmed it. I'm too lazy to Google right now, but I'm sure you can go to the Double R and order the cherry pie and Instagram it or whatever, heh. I wonder if the RR in season 3 is in reference to that.
Yup, Tammy or Bobby, with help of Ed.
I think shock and awe refers to the 2003 Iraq war (?). I was talking about the first Gulf War, 1991.
Looking now at that other website, I see FWWM wasn't released until Aug. 1992. So I'm not sure it's possible I heard it on the radio that night. Maybe it was music from the original series?
I was still more or less living under the rules of my parents, and they poo-poo'd TP after the general public panned the 2nd season. Basically, they rejected any interest in new Twin Peaks stuff. Funny though, they did visit the TP tourist stuff up in Washington a few years back.
I was really into Little Jimmy Scott ("Sycamore Trees"). Love his unintentionally androgynous sound -- his voice was like an old female jazz singer's. It was funny because one day he ended up performing at a Borders bookstore when I happened to be there.
lol.
What do your grandchildren call you? Nan? Mima? Gram? Gigi?
Yeah see that was the weird way things were, because I had heard of Fresh Prince, but never even seen an episode.
Signatures! Whoah. The only thing like that I did was write a letter to Weird Al. And to a ninja.
haha! No, that's Wilfred Brimley. This Old House had Bob Villa and "Norm."
If I'm interpreting you correctly, you're basing this on logic rather than having experienced it, yes? I don't deny that you have a point, but nonetheless far from everyone had heard of it. And a lot of people were just like, "What's that weird show? Boring." and promptly forgot about it.
Most people just had a few channels on TV. You had ABC and NBC and CBS or whatever, and then PBS if you wanted to watch "Victory Garden" or "This Old House" (lol). If you were a sort of couch potato family that worked normal hours, 8pm was a really important "prime time" and you'd go, "OK, it's prime time. Let's see what's on." If you happened to like "21 Jump Street" with Johnny Depp (or whatever!) on ABC, then that was your show, and you didn't pay attention to Twin Peaks on CBS. (I don't remember what channel it actually was on.)
As an aside, my whole 4 years at college I never watched/saw TV at college. I didn't know anyone who had a TV in their dorm, and TVs were not put in public places of the college. There was one little cubby-like place where you could go watch a TV, kind of for research purposes like if you were taking a politics class and wanted to see the news. Of course, when I would go to live with my parents in the summer, it would be the couch potato routine again and the TV automatically stayed on (as if to keep everyone company) during prime time. I'm not claiming it was like that for everyone, just saying it wasn't weird to not know what was going on on TV unless you were following it or had a habitual routine of keeping TV on certain times.
Weird memory: I remember staying up late (on a school night?!) to listen to a radio broadcast that was counting down to some deadline in the Gulf War (?). It was like, "is Bush going to launch missiles or not"? I can't really remember, but there was an ultimatum and a time, where if something didn't happen by that time, missiles would be launched. And for some reason they would take music breaks, and one musical interlude was music from FWWM, which I hadn't seen yet (and I got really excited).

I'm enjoying the Twin Peaks love.
That's probably what will happen, and I don't care. Coop is boring/ passé. It's Bobby's time to shine.
