i heard that goody proctor had an 8-pack, that goody proctor was shredded
this is one of those posts that would be just blisteringly incomprehensible without the correct cultural background
nah, man, thy friend art a liar
goody proctor is a punk-ass witch
re the correct cultural background, once I came to work in a white shirt in that minimalist style that that looks all 17th century puritain, and when someone complimented it I said, “thanks, but I do feel like I’ve just seen Goody Proctor with the devil” but I live in Spain and her slightly frightened blink was when I realised that The Crucible is not the cultural touchstone here that it is in the UK/USA
I attended a boarding school in the UK on an exchange program in 1998 and one of the girls, hearing that I was American, instantly said to me, in a hilariously bad American accent, “pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon,” and I said, in a terrible British-French accent, “but of course,” and then she said, “what does that mean i have always wondered what that meant” and I realized she was quoting Wayne’s World which was quoting a TV ad that never aired in the UK, and I was quoting the TV ad, and there was no YouTube yet so I had to fumblingly explain to her that it was an ad for fancy mustard and there was a gag with a limousine and also Dana Carvey had been attempting a British accent in that clip and that just makes it all much funnier.
And half of you reading this probably don’t remember either Wayne’s World or the TV advertisement for Grey Poupon mustard, so, reality is fleeting and we’re all going to die alone, enjoy your Tuesday. Oh it’s Wednesday.
