Comments on Overheard in the Office

she's looking very flat these days

This is the picture that formed my understanding of the world:

@1 - Now that's an eating disorder that deserves respect.

This guy is a total pansy -

But, God, what nipples -

Congrats on good taste, surely, and God, what nipples -

To fanf -

Thank god for women and the few straight men who have slogging rights who persist under Dan's tyranny!

Then there is Vanessa Tiegs:

As you can tell from the URL she is a menstrual blood artist. She used to be a ballet dancer, and quite frankly I'm grateful that she decided to make use of her menstrual blood in the pictorial arts rather than in ballet.

I'm by far the oldest in my office at 40, and recently made a reference to Keith Richards that no one understood because the kids I work with have no idea who Richards is/was.

:^(

Who is Calvin Coolidge? My stock reply to the know-nothings. Calvin Coolidge died well before I was born, and yet I know who he is. Granted Cheryl Tiegs doesn't fall into quite the same pussygory. But I am continually astonished by the number of gay guys who don't know David Sedaris. But it seems everyone knows Lindsay Lohan. Well, stupidity apparently is a choice. Or is it ignorance? If the pregnant stick Nicole Richie falls in the forest and no one hears her fall, does that mean her Bergen-Belsen body mass decreases our ability to hear her fall? Or is my hearing impaired because my ability to care has been starved out of me? Lord, help me summon up the vegetarian strength to say "whatever".

I sympathize with young Spangenthal-Lee. The first time someone mentioned Bobby Sherman to me, my response was "who's Bobby Sherman?"

Who the fuck is Bobby Sherman?

Who IS Bobby Sherman? Yes, I could Google him, but I want to hear it straight from someone who can make me feel diminished for being ignorant.

don't worry jonah, many of us were cocky dipshits in our early 20s (not saying that you are, honestly i would have guessed by your determination, you have the stamina of a 50 year old woman still visiting her teenage death row lover, albeit unrequited). i mean heck, i was only 30something and a half 6 months ago.

could you give us an mp3 of Dreams by the cranberries tomorrow? you could still do the cutesy starwars/comic schtick, but a soundtrack with Delores would brighten my outlook for the day. i know, i know - requests are so hard, cause YOU want to be creative!

oh, nevermind, i just saw that Judah put me in my place on the sister porn request. who said "why can't we all just get along?" like judah says, i don't deserve help, at least on this stupid blog. gurldoggie, levislade, other prolls, where ar yu?

Knowing who Calvin Coolidge is a mere history lesson. And perhaps not a fair comparison with fashion models. Pity the fool, though, who doesn't recognize a presidential name or who the memebers of the Stones are. That's just fucking blind.

But those of us who were in Cheryl's era remember her predecessors: Cybil Shepherd before Cheryl, Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy before her, and Suzy Parker in the 50s. Don't think you have to be a drag queen or old to know who these people were - just knowing. And how come so many people born after, say, 1980 know nothing about classic films of the 30s and 40s and 50s. We sure did even though we weren't around when they were in release.

Bobby Sherman was the Leif Garrett of his day.

the bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle.......

ballerinas showing pubic hair or dripping menstrual fluids would add something to the old - staid - too hide bound - ballet

swan and red, touch of black

Kids. And I always thought there were much much better pictures of Cheryl, they just don't show off her tits quite as well. She was THE California Girl before Christie Brinkley was anyone.

Oh wait, you don't know who Christie Brinkley is?

This coming from a guy who does not know who Greg Palast is though. Ah Josh... DUDE??

Sorry, should have said who Bobby Sherman was. My point was that there's always some flash in the pan who was before your time, so the kids can be forgiven for not knowing them.

@ 18, Christie Brinkley isn't a good parallel because she was a much bigger pop culture figure thanks to being in Vacation and marrying Billy Joel. Everyone should know who she is but I wouldn't say the same of Cheryl Tiegs.

what's the year, make and model on that bitpeg? we subscribed to SI, newsweek and the nightly dispatch (statistical sports, trade announces). it all blurs, much like my essay/fictive at the lil later time re: mastruation with said bombshell amongst the minnows at Mason's Lake.

Bauhaus,

I think the answer to your query is really quite simple. Those of us in the 40+ range grew up with analogue broadcast TV, as opposed to cable, and "classic films" were pretty much a staple on weekend afternoons when non-network stations would use them to fill empty gaps in their programming schedules.

Once cable became widespread in the late 1970's/early 1980's, companies like Turner Broadcasting started buying up the catalogues of the old film studios, thus giving them exclusive rights to rebroadcast those particular movies, which pretty much restricted their access to those who watched WTBS or later TNT. Now of course, almost everyone has cable and access to AMC, Turner Classics et al, and so a lot of the films from that era are now being viewed by new audiences.

What's always struck me as odd, though, was the relative lack of interest on the part of the studios to bring out many of these titles on video and DVD. Sure, "Casablanca", "The Wizard of Oz" and the like were obvious choices, but certainly there were literally thousands of lesser titles (not all admittedly worth seeing) that would have produced modest income for the studios, if only they had had the wherewithal to get them in front of the public.

And really Fnarf, I prefer to think of Bobby Sherman as the Sean Cassidy of his day...

got to remember, this is before breast implants - as i recall, and was right after the whole 6 million dollar man bionic woman phase when stick thin with big hair was in.

she had nice nipples, as I recall.

What's a 6 million dollar man? Is that a sex thing?

Also, if I see the word "nipple" again, I'm gonna scream.
