I will admit to falling prey to “Gold” and “Toyotas/Hondas”.

So, BigBird did not get the Orkut thing, whatsoever, which I find surprising considering what he does for a living. One day we were talking about social networking sites and I slipped in Orkut is for FOBs and Brazilians, aka, the citizens not the wax style and he did that Scooby-Doo ear-flop thing of arrruh? and acted like my statement was one big wax ball of mysterioso crazytalk. Much to my surprise, I’ll add. Because I followed up with a shrieky Baby how could you not know Orkut is FOB McFOB central and then proceeded to lay it all down for him and he told me, no really, he didn’t know about it.
Sometimes I feel like I’m dating a FIFTY-YEAR old. Like when we’re splitting Weekend Journal over breakfast and he lowers his half to say something like, “so, what’s going on in the popular music world, these days, Babes. Are people still listening to that band…Cold…Coldplay?” Okay, whatever, Grandpa. The poor dear has been so out of touch with popular culture for so long that he has the dumb frocking luck to stumble on a band that’s been on hiatus long enough that they just went ahead and released their “hey, we’re still relevant” album.
I’m also a big fan of “Patel Snaps” because that’s what NETIP is all about, basically.

My ex lives around your parts and there for a second I thought you were talking about him, but then I realized he wouldn’t even know the group Coldplay. He only listened to Kishore Kumar and KENNY G.
Then again what do I know. Last time we went to Dallas and visited with him he was eating WPF from Boston Market like it was his last meal.

I love the “Niagara Falls” bit. Shrav and Ajay have to roadtrip there every time anyone comes to visit them from the Mothership. And, as you know, S and A live in BOSTON.
Hey, I am all about the Hondas and Toyotas. WHATEVER.

hey, I *love* Kishore Kumar. I’ve got a greatest hits collection that would knock your salwar kameez off.

But my heart belongs to Moh’d Rafi.

Funny about Toyotas/Hondas. My WASP Republican dad fell in love with those imports, our family basically had a fleet of Toyotas. This continued with my little Civic after I married out–years later I finally made the switch to Volvo, while the spouse still drives a Toyota today.
And yeah, with pop culture, no matter what the ethnicity,or how young/old someone is, some people blithely let it pass them by, while others feel almost *compelled* to keep up.
