Kudos to Chris (aka the Caffeinated Gypsy, aka the Texting Terror of DC) for recognizing today’s obscure cultural reference. Or at least, I thought it was obscure — perhaps I am so thoroughly immersed in popular culture that I would not know obscurity if it struck me at an oblique angle and lodged itself in my skull, or originality if it picked my nose. When Chris acknowledged and extended the reference, I went from feeling geeky to feeling relevant. Folks, that’s a great feeling.
