Yes, that was a barely-veiled nod to “Hot Shots – Part Deux.” I have no idea why that reference popped into my head.
For those of you who do not have the hyper-Googling thing going on (bythelbs read about the song in the post, looked it up, and found it before I even had a chance to locate the thing online yesterday!), the song I was referring to is here. I have no idea if I’d find it so compelling had I not seen dance choreographed to it.
Anyway, another bit of randomness pulled from an e-mail yesterday:
Btw, did you know that spell-check recognizes “Wal-Mart”? I had taken the lazy route and just typed “Walmart”… I usually don’t bother spell-checking, but “guttural” looked weird so I ran it, and what did it pick up on? “Dustbunnies” (it prefers “dust bunnies”) and “Walmart.” Yeesh.
What has our society come to? Spell-check has an entry for Wal-Mart. And no, this is not one of those where I added the word – I never (ok, well, this one time) use spell-check, much less add words to it. I should add that just for giggles and grins I ran Xanga’s spell-check on this post, and it does not recognize “Wal-Mart” (nor, apparently, “I’d” or “spell-check,” ironically enough). It also does not recognize or offer alternatives for “dustbunny.” I just thought you’d want to know.
