I managed to miss large chunks of pop culture throughout my childhood and adolescence, the prevailing theory for which is that I am not human. (Still haven't seen all the Star Wars movies, for instance--more because I thought the first one was uninteresting than any other reason--and only saw an Indiana Jones flick and a John Hughes movie for the first time this year.) Other evidence pointing to my alien origins is my complete dislike for The Princess Bride and pretty much everything the Beatles ever did. :D
I can't quite decide if that makes you amazeballs or someone who needs to watch more television. Oh, who am I kidding? Television rots your brain; amazeballs it is. You are. Er. Something.
Sidenote: I had some students - a family of them, actually. There were 3 kids in the family - who did not own a television. It was astounding how much more like *people* these kids were when compared to the milquetoasty kids around them. They had, like, thoughts, and shit. It was crazy!
Apparently they have rooms full of this kind of stuff, but only space for bits and pieces of it. They're working on making an entire wing for it, but I don't think it'll be finished for a few more years.
Ohhh, I hope it's sooner than that. That just makes me sad.
