Make a purposely obscure cultural reference!
« on: March 01, 2007, 09:08:12 am »
The premise of this thread is that we make cultural references that we would, ourselves, enjoy but fear that very few other people would get... possibly because the topic is obscure or the reference is very specific or a very fine detail or whatever.

But it would make you smile to hear someone else say it and... possibly as a secondary benefit... the reference would be humourously non-sequitur to someone not in on the joke.

Also, it would be fun to see if we actually DO get each other's weird references.

For example, a friend's online journal has one of those communal artpad things on it and... I keep writing the word "Risotto?" on it and... to you or I, this is a clutch and essential Achewood reference but... her assumption is that it is simply an interesting surrealism.

Another example would be yelling "Population: Tire!" in a room where you are the only one who knows what a Strong Bad is. Or so on or so forth.

This could be very fun, I believe, but if y'all don't wanna go with it, it is okay too. I am open to the idea that this may not work out, this is a one-in-the-morning idea and not all of those work out.

I will start off:

I fear mine is not as obscure as LFM but I've had it in my head for a few days.

Not obscure enough, Heather.

Certainly not an obscure reference when it comes to the Canadian market.  But then this is airing on the CBC right now.  Possibly the most embarrassingly Canadian program ever aired.

In regard to a really obscure reference, I was once in the perfect setting to say: "So that means you'll be a tradish' nish' with a dish, with a baby who's Salish?"  Everyone laughed uproariously.

BNL are slightly more obscure down here, more's the pity.

HATE this thread.

Also side_show please clarify:  If there was really "Barenaked Ladies... on ice," now I will never be content till I see someone play guitar and skate at the same time.

I don't know if the BNL got on the ice or not.  It was so lame I didn't watch it.  They appeared to be on a platform with skaters whizzing around them.
