Dear God I feel ancient.
Nov. 20th, 2018 03:49 pmEvery year, my office at Hogwarts hires students for the year - not full on work-study, but 'maybe if students hear the same information from fellow students, they will retain the information maybe hopefully please God.' Occasionally, during slow times, I chat with the students, about such vital things about Best Donut Shops In Atlanta, and Whether Chik-Fil-A Is Really Proper Fried Chicken (consensus: no).
Young Ginny informed me today that she has never watched Monty Python, didn't recognize the 'What is your name? What is your quest?' quote from HOLY GRAIL*, and thinks that Monty Python's movies must be "old." (HOLY GRAIL came out in 1975! "Okay, that's practically late 70s, maybe not that old." Not helping, child.)
*Apparently extra credit on a test was to give the third question. She did not get the extra credit.
In my day, we had HOLY GRAIL memorized. But not MEANING OF LIFE, because that's just silly. Hmph.
