a blog by Kim Russell

February 9, 2012

I know what this title should be, but I refuse to type it

Waiting for the shuttle outside of work a few nights ago, I overheard the following conversation. Mostly overheard, as I was trying not to get slaughtered at Words With Friends. (Didn’t work. Want an easy WwF win? I’m ladygypsy, naturally. But I can’t play all day long.)

Guy 1: Did you ….blahblahblah stuff?
Guy 2: I rode my bike in today.
Guy 1: Wow. You have scrotes!

SCROTES? What is this scrotes? Is this the new name for balls? (WM: Scrotes? I don’t even get this. Guys only have one … scrote.) Urban Dictionary confirms it.

Gimme my Chicos wardrobe and my AARP card. I give up trying to understand people younger than me.

Scrotes. Sheesh.

    It’s also a line from Back to the Future 2, which came out in what, 1989? 😉

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
