I feel so old...
Dec. 8th, 2011 12:40 amAt work today, a member of my team mentioned that she has three turtles and is considering getting a fourth one, and said that she was thinking about naming it Hercules.
Cue me going, "But, four turtles? Didn't you at any point think: Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Raphael and Donatello?"
Cue her looking at me with a blank face.
Cue another member of my team asking if she knew who the Ninja Turtles were, and her response was "Nooooooo..."
Like I said, I feel so old.
Bah.

So I explained about this old movie Keanu Reeves was in and they literally asked me if I was telling the truth or did I just make that up to tease them.
(but this is also the friend who'd never see "The Blues Brothers" or "The Goonies" somedays, she makes me weep)

I hate it when I get that blank faced stare of "I wasn't born then and therefore don't understand your dated pop culture references," too. *g*
