P. used to say it drove him crazy when people would send him stuff from the Internet because he’d seen it all a thousand times before, but that’s no longer true. He spends so much time with Matt Drudge and mAnn Coulter now that he’s lost touch with pop culture, and especially Internet memes (which, to be fair, are often stupid, but occasionally amusing). I knew when I heard the audio that he was watching Star Wars Kid a week or so ago, but he’d never seen it before. Next was Gary Brolsma, doing the “Numa Numa”, and he’d never seen that before, either. In fact, until Friday night, when I said the words to him (just a joke) and they didn’t seem to register as more than the words themselves, he didn’t know about this, either, though it did amuse him greatly.
Come to think of it, I had to tell him several months ago what a “LOLcat” was. Interesting. Maybe I should send him dramatic prairie dog? 😉
