Cultural References

Sometimes I forget that A. didn't grow up in America (he's Austrian) and experience the phenomenon that was American Pop Culture in the 70s and 80s with me.

A few nights ago after pulling the sheets out of the dryer I wrapped them around me and proceeded to the living room chanting "TOGA TOGA." When A. looked at me with curiosity, I asked, "What no toga party?" He quite innocently replied back to me, "What's a toga party?"

After some cross-examination I learned he has never seen Animal House!!!

I guess I should have been tipped off the other day when I popped Ghostbusters into the DVD player and found out it was the first time he had seen it in English! (Don't you just love the language choice menus on DVD players?)
