Mariah and the Subtle Burn
by Steve West on December 26, 2021
Recent conversation with Brenda (after hearing All I Want for Christmas... again):
Me: Mariah Carey beginning with "I don't want a lot for Christmas..." and then revealing she wants "you" is kind of a burn,
Brenda: She could mean that she doesn't want a lot of other gifts and only wants her man friend.
Me: I know what she means, I was making a joke so don't overanalyze and ruin it.
Brenda: Don't ruin my song.

Yesterday, Lauren and I went to Toby's Dinner Theatre for her birthday and saw Happy Days, the musical. I was never a big fan of the series but had seen enough of it to get the inside jokes and references to the old sitcom. A few of the groaners included not seeing Chuck for a few years now, the Fonz not being the same since he jumped the shark and Richie commenting on his usual ability to solve problems in just one-half hour.
