gyzymThis is a drive-by post; I will be back later to answer comments (oh my god I love you guys have I mentioned that recently) and probably to make a fjdsfjdshf post about last night's ep.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME:
Me: Do you remember the Gator Golf commercial from when we were kids?
Burro: What the fuck is Gator Golf?
Me: *Sings the Gator Golf jingle*
Waiters in the Restaurant: *Side-eye me so hard I'm surprised nobody hurt themselves*
Burro: Nope, not ringing a bell.
Me: Seriously? This song's been stuck in my head for 17 years and you've got nothing?
Burro: Hahahahaha 17 years, your life blows.
Me: You're not helping.
Burro: You're beyond help.
THE GATOR GOLF COMMERCIAL, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
Guys. I ask you. I plead with you. Leave the scraps of terrible 90s commercials you remember in the comments. Link me to YouTube vids, embed shit, tell me how to access the mp3 files. THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS: I CANNOT TORTURE BURRO BY MYSELF, AND HE NEEDS TO BE TORTURED. For the sake of nostalgia. For the sake of my pride. For the sake of long-suffering older sisters everywhere.
ETA from the car on our way to spring Burrito from school:
Burro: Dude, I'm such a fucking bum right now, this hoodie isn't even clean.
Me: Yeah, man. My sweatshirt's clean, but my shoes totally don't match right now.
Burro: YOUR SHOES DON'T MATCH?!
Me: Yeah, what's the--oh my god, you asshole, I meant they don't match my outfit, they match EACH OTHER, what is wrong with you?
Burro: Don't look at me like that. You think I forgot how you used to dress in high school?
IF I DIDN'T LOVE HIM SO MUCH I'D HATE HIM, YOU GUYS. He must paaaaaaay.

Re: Oh, nostalgia!
Date: 2011-03-22 09:50 pm (UTC)This was the oldest version commercial I could find (featuring a young Leighton Meester RANDO) and apparently they are still a thing which I TOTALLY BUY because I don't think I could overplay how HUGE the tamagotchi was at my middle school :P

Date: 2011-03-22 10:09 pm (UTC)I had a Tamagotchi, I think. There were also Nano pets and a whole section of those sort of digi-pet things. xD Wow...the 90s, babe. I won't say I miss them, but this post has made me smile. ♥
