BTW... we average about 7-10 hours of South Park a week.
But this statement still engenders hilarity!!! I don't know why I find it so funny, because South Park is a very popular show? I guess it's just the picture in my mind of a grandma sitting in front of the TV howling at the irreverence, and down right crudeness, like I do that makes me laugh...
I love that episode where the kids are on a mission to stop the old folks from driving... :-D
Grandmas ain't what they used to be; well a lot aren't. And I'll bet that not many acid wash their pools in 100+ temps. A little hint.... I had to really clean up my "act" and mind my P's and Q's when I attended Baylor University Nursing School (Southern Baptist) in the early 90's.
I was a "Flower Child", Conservationist, Hippie, Left Leaning politics, and occasional protester of coal mines and some other environments issues in the late 60's and 70's along with some political marches to this day but more active during the Vietnam "war". I haven't totally sold out (but not a true bleeding heart or tree hugger per se and I'm not a member of PITA but do contribute to ASPCA). And, although, basically a Democrat, I/we occasionally vote for a Republican, but that's pretty rare.
When I met DH he was the Dallas Hippie Psychiatrist but I didn't even know he was an M.D. for several weeks. We met at an event at SMU where Father Daniel Berrigan was the speaker.

A few weeks late I took him to UTD, where I was studying Physics, to see Carl Sagan.
DH maintains our first "real" date was a trip to Austin for a political action workshop.
DH, at the time, was very active protesting psychiatric abuses of patients and a strong advocate of patient rights even to the extent of "breaking" some patients out of mental hospitals. He and his best friend, a lawyer, were instrumental in changing some abusive laws and regulations.
In the early 80's he went back for a residency in an additional specialty, more surgical.
DH still wears Birkenstocks and wears them to work and hasn't had a suit on in at least 10 years. He has to buy a new suit anytime he needs to wear one every ten years or so. We were supporting member of DMA for years so he owned a Tuxedo and wore it more than suits, for opening events.
A few years ago we both cut our pony tails, together. How sweet.
He's still a warrior. I'm mostly background support and caretaker of the "farm".
I don't dress like a teenager or young adult but I don't dress like a "typical" granny either.
I guess you could say neither of us has ever been "typical" nor a "typical" couple as he does the grocery shopping and cooking and I do the "man's" work around here (and a lot of the woman's work too. :grrrr: )
I have a vague memory of that SP episode. "Old Timers". DH is going to locate it.
