Every link from today is officially very creepy. I did my civic blog duty and looked at all of 'em. On hipness, unhipness: Last Saturday I spent an hour of my existence looking through a Des Moines Goodwill store in search of one of those early-80's type long sleeved shirts where the sleeves are one color and the rest of it is another color, preferably with a random number smack in the middle. I've had an uncontrollable urge to wear one of these since November. I found something sorta close, but to get to the punchline, yesterday one of my wee youngin' speed reading students was talking about "the weird character" in a book, and I was all like, "do you remember what the weird character was wearing?" The student said, "yeah, she wore 80s clothes." Thanks, kiddo.
Paul also made a stunning hip faux pas when, in class, he referred to the Brooklyn Dodgers for some unknown reason and his students promptly informed him the Dodgers no longer existed. (Which, admittedly, I would not have known either...)
