Buffynicity #1: I was thinking about finding a paddle in my 3D library for the last couple of days and in T7S Kelso is talking about pong paddles and Forman has one of those wooden paddles with the ball attached.
Buffynicity #2: I was thinking about women saying “the vag” a few minutes ago, the way they speak impersonally about their bodies sometimes, and then Donna says she knows Forman is going for “the bra”.
Buffynicity #3: Yesterday I was tracing the development of Jennifer’s musical tastes back to Lou Reed and going over that again and again, then today the gang talks about Lou Reed being in New York City.
Buffynicity #1: There was a cowbell in the intro to a secene from T7S. I think it was from “American Band”. It made me think of the skit “More Cowbell”. Then a few minutes later Eric said “I thought Blue Oyster Cult was the music of the revolution.”
The “More Cowbell” sketch on SNL was a year after this episode (22) aired.
Buffynicity #1: I folded my laundry today and Rachel was foldling laundry in this episode.Scary Buffynicity #2: Today I’ve been retelling myself an old joke. In my movie “Bang-Shang-A-Lang”, Congressman Biff Hardassian has two German shepherds named Haldemann and Erlichmann. I haven’t thought of this joke in what seems like years, but today it occurred to me again and I thought of it several times. Then in tonight’s episode of Friends, Chandler is wearing doggie slippers i.e. a pair of slippers that look like dogs. This is so totally specific that it freaks me out.Even Scarier Buffynicity #3: Over the last couple of days I’ve been listening to Phantoms by the Fixx and working a lot on my story The Darkening of the Light, thinking about 80s rock and looking at the Apple Music Playlist “Rock Hits 1985”, which I added to my library. I was thinking about Duran Duran and how Simon Le Bon is still married to his wife, Yasmin. I was thinking that is cool, but I wondered if she was the same person as Yasmine Bleeth. I never think about this question, which is why it is colossally weird that Joey and Chandler just sat down to watch Baywatch and talked about being in love with Yasmine Bleeth. As a little extra, I just looked her up and found that 1985 was the year she married Simon.Totally fucked up Buffynicity #4: An hour or so ago I was rocking out to “Shakedown” by Bob Seeger and I visualized my guardian angels as backup singers. Then just now Phoebe was recording her song and was surprised by three backup singers behind her.Funny Buffynicity #5: I think it was yesterday, but certainly in the last three days I was driving home thinking about the velociraptors from Jurassic Park, specifically because I’ve been thinking of nasty things to say about Hollywood, like no one has cared about special effects since Jurassic Park showed they could put CGI creatures on the screen. Just now Ross was on the phone telling someone that Dino from Flintstones could not be a velociraptor.
