Bonerkiller: You Don't Get My References

You don't understand what I'm saying. It's not that I'm speaking Spanish and you're speaking Dutch. We're not trying to communicate in semaphores or with air traffic control flags. It's just that you don't get my references, man.

And man, my references are not oblique. What do I like to talk about? Bad TV shows on Bravo, celebrities, dead celebrities, mid-'90s indie rock; nothing maj. I'm not the Alapaha Blueblood Bulldog (that's a rare dog breed, bozo) of reference droppers, but your lack of cultural knowledge shocked and awed me. Like when I said your wannabe model sister was like Lana Turner trying to get discovered at Schwab's, you shrugged and asked me who Lana Turner was. And no, she's not on Twitter.

So maybe you'll get this reference: "I'm outta hee-ee-eere."

Counter-bonerkiller: You incessantly reference obscure Bravo shows that I've never even heard of.

Whatever, Jon! You just can't keep up.

What can I say? If my shows are going to have over-dramatic gay dudes crying in every third scene, I prefer it be scripted.

Anna said...

HAHA! I love you, Jon!

BRAVO is not obscure. it's basic cable, my friend.

First thought about Lana Turner: "hmm, sounds like one of Theo Cosby´s girlfriends"
weird?
