On the Bus

This evening on the way home, there was a 30-something guy on the bus talking to his seatmate about the new man in his life. He said they had an immediate emotional bond unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

"We complete each other's sentences" he said. "Like the other night, " he added in a very serious tone, "he quoted an episode of the Brady Bunch and I finished the quote. That has never happened before."

I had to put on my ipod (loud) to stop listening because I knew I was going to laugh.

..you say that like it's a strange thing. If anything, I'm jealous. Sadly, my man cannot complete a Brady Bunch quote if I start one...although I know "Anonymous" can.

Bonding over the Brady Bunch -how sweet and how shallow!!!!

Shallow was exactly the word that came to mind. (Not that I would ever accuse JAW Fan of being shallow.)

...but then I would never base my relationship on Brady Bunch quotes (it's just an added perk!)

those 2 lads on the bus had to be "jan" fans tho I bet one harbours a deep adoration of "marsha! marsha! @#**!@ MARSHA!"

Now I'm wondering why I even posted on this subject. I should've known that it would just encourage you Brady fans out there to post pro-Brady comments. I'll never learn.

I'm late to this party because of a meeting, but let's take the Blogmistress's suggestion and continue to talk Brady till she changes the name of the blog to Buddy Hinton's Journal.

I do believe I have actually finished Brady quotes on the phone to JAW in the past.

Say - I was watching HIGGLYTOWN HEROES on the Disney Channel with my kids recently and one of the voices was done by Miss JAW. I know she has done a lot of voice work (including Beauty and the Beast) but it was my first encounter with her since this blog came into being.

Actually took me two seconds to figure out who Miss JAW was...I forgot I was named after her.

Higglytown Heroes. It's no Deadwood.

I don't know...throw in a f**k f**k here and a f**k f**k there and anything can become Deadwood.

I suspect you are not a true Deadwood watcher, JAW, because the appropriate word in all contexts is always c***sucker.
