We all draw on our cultural heritage in ways we maybe don't even realize.<br /><br />The funny thing is a hundred years or more ago, people would toss off lines like that referring to obscure biblical people and events. "Salem? 'Jot or tittle'? Ebenezer? What's that? You mean, like Scrooge?" Not complainin', just sayin'.<br /><br />For me, it's a lot of TV shows and movies from the 70s and 80s. And weird slang and inside jokes my older brother and his friend made up that only three people in the world understand.<br /><br />I do know what you mean about the words appearing. When we go out Christmas caroling to nursing homes, it's not uncommon to find people who struggle to express a coherent thought but can sing "Away in a Manger" with no problem. It's all in there somewhere.P_Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16130988618277500381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-76771027620997295432007-01-09T23:15:00.000-05:002007-01-09T23:15:00.000-05:00Your giant stew of offhand references is my font o...Your giant stew of offhand references is my font of useless information.

I know that's not really an obscure movie, but that seems a very oblique reference for you to pick up on. <br /><br />This might sound odd, but there was a time when I was younger when the words would appear in front of my face as if projected on a curtain, sometimes whole pages of words, obscure references to things; whole blocks of text or pictures I had read or seen. It's changed over time. Now they are like things in a side view mirror. That was a tiny version of that; I don't exactly know what triggers such a thing's appearance. I don't think I've seen that movie in its entirety, and it's been twenty five years since I saw it at all. It fit there in a giant stew of offhand references. <br /><br />Are you like that? Is everyone like that? Is no one?SippicanCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940797380578921776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-40318195379897986032007-01-08T22:16:00.000-05:002007-01-08T22:16:00.000-05:00Multi-tasking, boss.
