One of our younger female staff today asked me what do windshield wipers, bullet proof vests, laser printers and fire escapes have in common? I responded with "What are four things that have never been in my kitchen".

I got this puzzled look from her. I said "Cliff Clavin? Cheers?". "Oh, I've heard of that show. I think my dad used to watch it".

The answer she was going for was four things invented by a woman.

Here's some Cliffy to end your work week:

Most Seinfeld references now get start blanks from the younger kids.

I was telling someone about the show Veep. I said.., you know Elaine from Seinfeld?

I imagine if you say Soup Blank soon people will call you a racist.

Macarena. Although in that case it's good that it's been forgotten.

Hard to believe Seinfeld signed off nearly 19 years ago...

The other day I watched the highlight of our recruit, Brown from Meadville, run the hypotenuse length to run down that opposing player and my first thought was he looked like he was running in 45 speed and everyone else was at 33. That reference is lost on those that don't remember record turntables.

So I'll have to go with he was running at Usain Bolt speed.

Wasn't that idiom ascribed to somebody on Stern? Maybe PSU's own Benji?

John "Hitt'm with the Hein" Hein created the term "Jump the Shark" with his "Jump the Shark.com" website... he sold the site for > $1MM to some entertainment or tech company and was invited to join the Stern show as a contributor....

John Hein is an annoying Michigan skunkbear... Benjy Bronk is an even more-annoying Penn Stater... i have enjoyed Howard for 20yrs but these guys i can do without...

Ah yes, John Hein of the "Wrap-Up Show" fame. Benjy was entertaining when Howie used to go off on him for an hour for being late all the time.
 
I work with people that have not seen the original Star Wars trilogy or the any western movie.

I even quote Mallrats and Clerks and they have no corolation. Go figure.
 
On All in the Family, Archie flushing the toilet was supposed to be hilarious. The studio audience would laugh hysterically.

Actually he was running at 78 when the rest were running at 45.....
 
Starsky & Hutch...."How did you leave Las Vegas"?

Up here in New England, people still use "wicked"....as in something/someone is "wicked awesome!" Problem is that I don't think this ever caught on anywhere else to consider it outdated. Plus, they still use it, so not only is it uniquely bizarre, it is also not outdated.

Goldie Hawn would say "Sock it to me, " on the TV show Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in, while wearing a flowered bikini.

From Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, a zany television show from the late 1960s. The word bippy, by the way, means “butt.” The phrase “You bet your sweet bippy”
