I tried that, but I could still see your posts, so I stood it up again.
For the avoidance of doubt, I liked the joke...
Thanks! Glad I wasn't too hip for the room (not that I've ever been accused of that anyway)!
Too hip for the room? Never! Don’t even know what it means...
Thanks!
I was making use of that jazzy banter the hep cat young folks all use today! Between my hip lingo and my Zoot Suit with the Reat Pleat, I really wow the bejeezers off 'em!
I'm sorely tempted to go plop down at a table in my local famous chain coffee shop, order nothing, refuse to leave when asked, get arrested for loitering and then hire a lawyer and sue. Who knows, maybe a couple of celebrity "Revs" will crawl out from under their rocks and shake 'em down for a few million.
I also confess to a certain level of Shadenfreude at same coffee shop. Actually, a lot!

I read about this yesterday via LinkedIn. Astonishing that it escalated so quickly and that they were suckered into a storm in a coffee cup...

And speaking of Storm(y)...I'm shocked and saddened to learn that a suddenly-by-magic-young-again Dafoe has been harrassing former stars in parking lots...
My father took me to see Superman shortly after it's release in 1978. I was 15. Although I was well aware of the character I had never read a comic book about his adventures and WAS NOT aware that he needed a phone booth to change into his Supes garb. In the film when Clark needs to change into his Supes outfit he can only find a (then) modern outdoor phone stall. Everyone in the theater (including my dad) was howling with laughter and I didn't know why. I had to ask my dad what was so funny. He quickly explained it to me after the laughter died down. Missed the joke, dammit!
In the 1970s, whenever WCIX aired the "Creature Feature" horror program I would always be hugely disappointed when that afternoon's movie was some stupid-ass Godzilla or Gamera movie. I've always loathed that crap...except the one with the "Save the Earth" song on it.

In my late teens I experimented with weight lifting and was taking several “muscle-building supplements” like desiccated liver, which only caused me digestive issues and did nothing for my muscles. Anyway, my mom was riding with me in my car one day and I passed desiccated liver gas which was so bad I had to pull over so my mom could open her door and throw up. Thus ended my desiccated liver days.
I can't stand the Australian accent. Though I love love ALL the other tongues from the United Kingdom!
Interesting observation! I don't feel that strongly about the Aussie accent, but I get your drift. I'm much the same way about some American accents. Some Southerners have soft accents that I like, others have harsh accents that grate my ears. Some Northerners have accents that are annoying as well, particularly the hard, Kennedyesque type and some Bronx types, i.e., "foah" (for) that are like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Having a chuckle at the way things have turned for a famous rapper who is now facing the ire of those in the media and fan base who were once his syncophants, since he dared wander away from the lib groupthink. Now he sees the hatred, intolerance and even racism of the left. Wonder if he’s full woke now? Schadenfreude, baby!!!
