Spooky

There was Kara (no link - she decided to delete her blog) and myself watching Rachael Ray's $40 dollars a day this morning, which was coming from Milwaukee, and for only the 17th time in our relationship any time Milwaukee is mentioned, I pointed out: "Did you know that Milwaukee had a reformist socialist mayor in the fifties? Yeah, that is why that show was called 'Happy Days', and why the Fonz was so cool." And for the 17th time in our relationship, she rolled her eyes and replied: "That joke is so bad that Marty had to leave the room in embarrassment." And for the fifth time in our relationship, I attempt to save face by adding: "And do you remember that scene in 'Wayne's World' where Wayne and Garth met Alice Cooper backstage at his concert and he mentioned the business of Milwaukee having a socialist mayor?" Unfortunately, that never works as a saving grace. Kara either replies that she didn't know that 'Wayne's World' was set in Milwaukee (it wasn't - they just went there for the concert), or we start talking about other Mike Myers films and we both agree that 'So I Married An Axe-Murderer' is a pile of crap, and I do my fake rant about Mike Myers being anti-Scottish, but that isn't the spooky bit - remember the title, dear reader? The spooky bit is that I click on the yahoo homepage to be met by this story, which is buried somewhere halfway down the page.

Is it a sign? No, it's a coincidence and therefore the title of the blog is inappropriate but I'm too busy to change it 'cos I'm emailing this bloke with the news, so he can include it for future reference in that special place on the blogosphere.
