In the 1940s it was totally plausible to pitch ?Tiny Ding Dong? as the name of a tubular toy without eliciting guffaws from coworkers.
Some of the toys didn?t take decades to cause an uproar. The ?E.T. Finger Light,? which didn?t look like a heartwarming E.T. digit so much as a wrinkly alien dildo, created a buzz upon its release in 1982, leading the company that manufactured it into bankruptcy the following year.
So I had to explain that not only is Kurt Cobain an important figure in pioneering the grunge movement in music, but also committed suicide a very long time ago. And he then said "if he was still alive, do you think he'd want to be my friend?"
Myself, actually. I did a VERY spergy thing (happens a lot) I tripped over the last (non-existent) invisible stair. I SWEAR IT IS REAL!!! but, apparently, it only appears long enough to send me flying: especially if I'm carrying laundry. It was raining socks & undies, folks. I always get the same bruise pattern from this: I might as well just get the damned things tattooed on.
