During dinner, Haley was talking about someone she knew that got in trouble for drugs. The conversation jumped all over the place, including a brief discussion about legality and enforcement in Amsterdam. After quite a bit in that vein, Dyson piped in asking why we were talking about dancing hamsters. We were a bit confused until he said, "You know, the hamsterdance."
Ahh, gotcha buddy…
It’s all about context.
Especially since he was familiar with something actually called the Hamster Dance. (Which I wasn’t until just now…) Here’s the version of it he likes…
Unfortunately, now it’s probably stuck in my head…

I LOVE the Hamster Dance!

How did I miss this post before? I saw the one before and the one after, but missed this one - that’s funny!
Did you read about TJ and people being “matered”? First we had to explain what a “maRtyr” was and then we had to explain that although “being stoned” *could* mean enjoying a nice buzz, in the context of martyrs it usually involves large rocks being thrown at your head.

Haley is… your daughter? I’m a terrible friend. I know exaclty who Kel and Dyson are, but I’ve forgotten your daughter’s name. I blame the drugs.
I will not click that link. I have that earworm just by reading the post.
