I've just been watching a whole bunch of Family Guy episodes, and the number of obscure cultural references and weird jokes puts the Simpsons to shame. Heck, we even have Peter (dumb as the proverbial two short planks) saying "that would be as boring as an argument about ontological impiricism" (ok, Lois asks "What?" and he doesn't know, but still). Heck, the only reason I might be able to figure out what it means is reading too much Semantic Web stuff recently. There's a number of the jokes I still can't figure out what they mean - I think most of those are US culture references that I just won't have a hope of getting. I get most of it, and some of the ones I get make me have to pause because I'm laughing so much. Still can't get the image of face of the woman on the kegelcize machine out of my head (neutral face, then grimace, then neutral. Repeat. Guess you kinda had to see it to get it.). Other great gems include the sign outside a church "come for the mass, stay for the guilt".
Capricorn Drinking style:
Capricorn is usually described as practical, steadfast, money-hungry and status-thirsty -- no wonder they get left off the astrological cocktail-party list. But this is the sign of David Bowie and Annie Lennox, not to mention Elvis. Capricorn is the true rock star: independent, powerful and seriously charismatic, not too eager to please. And if they make money being themselves, who are you to quibble? But just like most rock stars, they're either totally on or totally off, and they generally need a little social lubricant to loosen up and enjoy the after party, especially if they can hook up with a cute groupie.
