Awkward

Cidu Bill on May 7th 2013

Speaking of awkward, that dialog…

And is there any real joke here, or is this similar to Jeremy’s comment going over Connie’s head, indicated by his comment literally going over her head (I still think the hashtag thing should have had something to do with something there)?

And, y’know, 1987 called…

Geezer Alert or Not?

Cidu Bill on Apr 29th 2013

Is this geezer material, as Andréa suggests,or will “like a broken record” endure past the point where most people are familiar with its genesis?

And then one morning Scott Hilburn woke up and said ”Today is the day I force Bill to use the Geezer tag”

I couldn’t figure out why, when I booted up my computer this morning, it kept shouting “1968’s Calling! 1968’s Calling!”

And I don’t really get the joke either, unless it’s “if you understand this as all you’re old, ha ha!”

Here’s a little-known fact about today’s Brevity strip…

One person sent it to me with the Geezer tag, one sent it to me as a LOL, and one sent it to me just because. Forgive my ignorance (well, you’ve been doing that for more than 16 years now), but what’s the joke here? I mean yeah, Cliff Clavin from Cheers, and “Clavin” is Calvin is you’re mildly dyslexic, but… so?

Do we have to file a Geezer Alert on this one as well, or will most of the non-AARP readership get it?

Putting aside the fact that nobody’s read this book in 40 years — it hasn’t aged well — why is the seagull divebombing the guy just because he’s reading it?

The strip is titled “Let’s Make a Deal” (Geezer alert?), and the metatext is “…or angry monkeys. You can’t fight angry monkeys.”

Brawling

Does this comic (or other variations of the same gag) really make any sense to a generation that’s grown up without smoking/no smoking sections?

Let’s all get up and dance to a song that was a hit before your mother was born

Cidu Bill on Mar 21st 2012

I remember some years ago when I heard my niece sing “Your Mother Should Know” during a school function and realized that that song had been a hit before her mother was born.

Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, today’s oldies synchronicity:

phonebook.gif

Somebody sent me this as a “Geezer” strip, and I wrote back no, even kids today know what a phone booth is, even if they’ve never used one. Then three or four other people sent me the same comic.

So was I wrong? Would a younger reader look at this and have no idea what’s being referred to?

Perfect Geezers

James Schend: Perfect Strangers went off the air in, what, 1992? It’s not even in re-runs anywhere, as far as I’m aware. Granted, not as geezerly as most geezer strips, but still.

Shopping Days

Cidu Bill on Dec 9th 2010

shoppingdays.png

Not a CIDU… just wondering whether this falls into Geezer territory. Back in the day, when all stores were closed on Sundays, “days until Christmas” was different from “shopping days until Christmas.” Do people still refer to “shopping days before Christmas” (which presumably is now the same as “days until Christmas”)?
