Ok, it's halftime of the football game I'm watching and time to share a cartoon I found on the net here:

Lacking Cultural Literacy?

The other day in class I had The Monkees' "I'm a Believer" playing on the stereo, and one of the students asked me "Who screwed up the song?"

At first I was going to laugh, but then I noticed the question was sincere. I realized he was referring to the new Smashmouth version from the film Shrek.

I felt very, very old.

P.S. I heard a rap song using the beat from "Stand By Me," which is almost as bad as another artist I heard using The Archies' "Sugar, Sugar." Ugh!

Do You Remember?

In the 1980s, the days of my youth, I watched the WWF with a fervent fascination. Obviously, this may explain quite a bit about my current mental state, but I digress. My interest with the WWF began after seeing Hulk Hogan in Rocky III. Now, all I see is idiocy and the debilitating effects of drug use. Now, I grant you, I do not view the 80s wrestling scene as much better, but it at least felt a bit more honest.

I reminisced while driving today and thought I'd stick a few of my favorites on the net for others to view. See if you remember these wrestlers (answers follow the pics):
