TFW you can tell the person you have ignore that everyone is responding to is complaining about the ignore feature.

I gotta say I’m not sure what people mean by line-doodle tattoos. Anyone got an example?

They're doodles that are usually made from a single unbroken line, with no shading or thickness changes or anything. Like this dog:

They are deceptively hard to do.

"How dare you ignore me! ME! Of all people! I am clearly the one that everyone should be listening to! How do I turn off everyone else's Ignore function?"

If you are an Old, such as myself, you'll remember that, before Zillow, before social media, before the Internet, there were real estate ciculars -- magazine-sized collections of real estate properties that were represented by various Realtors. You could pick up a circular, and it would have various listings; cheaper houses were in vary spare, basic format, while more expensive properties (that carried a commensurately higher commission if they were sold) would have a half- or full-page writeup. Sometimes those read like short literature pieces; many of these real-estate writers seemed to be trying to emulate Faulkner or other popular writers. Back in the day, I understood "real estate novelist" to be the guy hired by the realtor to write the blurbs. My understanding has not changed, and the fact that people don't know what the line refers to nowadays just serves to make me feel even older...

When I met my wife, when worked for one of the companies that made these, doing layout/pouring. We old.

I've always interpreted "real estate novelist" from the song to be an aspiring/would-be novelist who pays the bills doing real estate.

There's a TV special (in guessing VH1 from memory) where Joel confirms this. It was a guy that when asked what he did would always answer along the lines of "writing a novel", but when pressed would admit thst his day job was in real estate.

I seem to remember him saying that in an interview, at some point.

The early lyrics to Jack and Diane were a little weirder.

A friend of mine just suggested that we get a group of people together to watch himself and two other people quote Spaceballs at each other. It seemed to be a genuine suggestion and I am not sure how to react to this.

This sounds like the book (not the movie) of Ready Player One.

You know the one I remember the most is Diane, who was with Jack. They were always a cute couple. Wonder what happened to them?

No idea what happened to them, we lost touch. But I did hear that Billie and Patti had a 10lb baby boy. Billy even wrote a letter to Patti’s parents to try to explain. That boy must be like 45 at this point.

Anybody hear if Tommy & Gina’s luck turned around?

I saw on Facebook that they're meeting up with Brenda and Eddie for dinner. The must be doing okay, because I hear the restaurant is pretty nice.

They checked in at the turn of the century, but all they reported was that they never backed down (which doesn't really answer the question).
