I’m surprised nobody has posted about that guy who posted “what, no love for Bone” when Bone had already been mentioned. ---

As in any post about popular culture on the SDMB, I’m surprised nobody has posted the standard IDOAT response yet. “I don’t own a television, and I don’t know who any of these people or things are. After all, I don’t own a television, and I also don’t watch television. South Park? 30 Rock? Matt Damon? I don’t own a television, and I’m proud to be so out-of-touch with popular culture. I don’t own a television.” ---

We’re now 48 posts into this thread, and I was all set to wax indignant about how some obvious point had been left unaddressed. But, scanning through the first 47 posts, I can’t find one. You guys have touched all the bases, dotted every i, and crossed every t. At this point, there’s really nothing left to say. You guys are The Bomb! ---

> [@The\_Weird\_One](#): > > I try to stay out of touch with pop culture, but it keeps sneaking into my bedroom at night and touching me in bad places. Show me on the doll where pop culture touched you. I am suprised how no one has mentioned that posting to this thread is like being a sports fan. I mean, what is the point of watching people do an activity, while you sit there, and mistakenly think that you are part of something special just to boost your own feelings of self worth? ---

I am surprised that nobody has done that thing where you do the thing that the OP is complaining about yet. ---

At least it wasn’t the Spanish Inquisition this time. That’s usually a surprise. ---
