happy weighs in

[hasthekeys]

Can we just not talk about the hair? Please? It was 1999. It was 1999. Everyone made bad decisions because of Y2K! Keanu Reeves was considered an action film star! Britney Spears was telling people to hit her and Christina Aguilera was telling people to rub her and Dudley Do-Right! Inspector Gadget!

Look, it was just a bad time for everyone. So don't harp on my hair and we'll be good. Okay with you?

And, yeah, you should watch Downton Abbey. It's a good show. Elegant.

[Like your hair?]

No!

I can't judge. I had the Aniston.

Speaking of, we're penciling in a date. Me, you, a bottle of wine and the third season. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet and I could stand a little more elegance and a lot less violence in my life.

[hasthekeys]

[Thinking about Pepper with the Aniston...well now, isn't that a vision of loveliness? The '90s done right is what that is.

A date? Gosh, way to go straight for his heart, Pepper.]

You've already watched the first two? I didn't know you watched it.

[Or did she spend time watching it when he was in the hospital? Mysteries.]

[square_cubelaw]

We all thought we looked good in the 90's, so I'm not going to judge.

[hasthekeys]

[Talking robot? Not the strangest thing he's seen, certainly. He can roll with it.]

Maybe it's one of those herd mentality things. Or is that lemmings? Everyone's doing it, why don't you...fit in kind of thing.

I just don't know how fanny packs make you fit in.

[manofiron]

Let it go, buddy. You're getting bent out of shape for nothing.

[hasthekeys]

Let go of what, the existence of a mullet—your words—or Downton Abbey?

[manofiron]

The mullet. It's over. It's done. No one's judging you.

[square_cubelaw]

Sometimes I try to catch up with the times. I used to think those sarcastic t-shirts were funny back then.

I think real style died after the 30's.

[ohpleasetony]

I didn't know you watched it. We could've been watching it together this whole time.

[Imagine, someone to talk to who has the ability to watch an entire movie all the way to the end, let alone an entire British series.]

So, what do you think? Do you mind a rewatch?

[hasthekeys]

[Uh oh, talk about uncertainty.]

I just figured you'd like to go home at the end of the day, kick off your heels, and listen to Tony tell you all about his day. Doing whatever he does. Did. Not wanting work to follow you home.

[Making an army of Iron Men.]

I don't mind a rewatch at all.

[hasthekeys]

What sarcastic t-shirts? There's just been so many t-shirts with stupid one-liners on them that I can't keep up anymore.

[I can't sleep, the lawn gnomes will steal my underwear.

I can't sleep, the clowns will eat me.

Etc. etc.]

[hasthekeys]

[There's a moment's pause, and then:]

What about the earring?

[uknowuwantmebaby]

What's sad is that you remember Inspector Gadget.

[hasthekeys]

I had to look it up. I'm not a tech genius, but I can use Google.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Oh sure, cause when I spend my time, it's Googling 1999.

[manofiron]

There's nothing wrong with having a little style, Hap.

[hasthekeys]

Mad rhyme, dawg.

[hasthekeys]

Have you seen what was said? I looked like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction.

I haven't seen that movie in years. I can barely remember it now. Do you know if it's worth a watch again?

[uknowuwantmebaby]

What can I say, I'm straight up hood. Yyyyyyeah.

[hasthekeys]

[bring the beat back, yolandi, die antwoord all up in this bitch yo]

You do seem rather gangster, it must be said.

[manofiron]

It's actually not. Don't do it. Trust me, you'll regret it.

Just. Look, tell you what. Why don't I get you in as an extra on your show?

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Straight up.

[Crow is the freshest new act, move over Marky Mark.]

You know, I was one of Tupac's gold pieces.

[And here's where the pathological lying comes in.]

[square_cubelaw]

A handful of ones I rather forget. Like the "voices in my head" ones.

So see, no one really had style in the 90's. People just pretended to.

[hasthekeys]

[Wait, what?

Best friend Rhodey gets a suit, best friend Happy gets to be an extra on Downton Abbey?

It's clear who's the best best friend here, and he's already thinking about meeting Dame Maggie Smith and and and...]

They already have a driver.

[hasthekeys]

[But will he do videos where he pulls his pants down and runs around in his underwear?

Will he go on to do movies where he is almost killed by pissed off plants? Will he? Is that a lasting career move, Crow?]

Oh, I'm sure. Really. That's 110% believable.
