That smash mouth singer is dead too

Kid at work doesn't know what a collect call is.
“Would you like to accept a collect call from HEY MOM CAN YOU COME PICK ME UP”
Bruh I barely do and I'm a 25 year old techy. I'm sorry, you're old.
I'm 22, no idea what it is
I only know it from American movies, because it was never a thing were I live.
Something else happened in 2001
Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor
That's fucked up
One! Nothing wrong with me! Two! Nothing wrong with me! Three! Nothing wrong with me! Four! NOTHING WRONG WITH ME!!
Something's got to give.
Aside: Drowning pool played my town this week with SpineShank and Hed PE. Was amazing
Shrek...?
Really?
That's what you mark 2001 by???
What else would they use? Tomb Raider?
How about September 10th, when 2.3 Trillion dollars were announced missing...
... Or what happened the very next day.
I thought that was more of an issue with bad accounting software, not simply "missing" money.
That movie crashed box office records and left a giant crater where Disney princess movies used to be. What else that year could be more impactful?
For me it is trippy to know that all the little kids I looked after when I was 20 are now 20 themselves.
I did my first babysitting gigs at age 13, in 2002.
I vividly remember playing dolls with my neighbor’s daughter. She just had her first baby about a month ago.
Sometimes I forget how old I am. Then I do something like “going too long without eating,” or “sleeping on the same side for too long” and it’s like my body full-on revolts against me. Sigh.
I feel you. I'm born in '87, but I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.
That is such a perfect metaphor, I may have to steal it.
Yeah, kids that I taught in kindergarten have now graduated. It's definitely strange.

there are children being born whose PARENTS were not alive when Shrek (2001) came out.. Crazy how the years start coming and they simply do not stop coming
Wow. I remember seeing Shrek with my mom in 2001. I also saw Finding Nemo with her in theaters. I love my mom. I haven't given her any grandchildren though. To her dismay. But she loves me unconditionally. Moms are the best. No one understands love better than them.
I remember the 1900s
Wait... Shrek came out 24 years ago? Not five?
Welp, looks like I got more than one foot in the grave.
It’s almost as if people grow older with time?
Who would have thought.
I was in my 20s when Shrek came out. I've still never seen any of them. Maybe I'll get around to it one of these days.
Kind of overrated IMO, one of those films with 100 "pop culture" references and a lot of slapstick.
But lots of people liked it so what do I know.
It was definitely a milestone at the time. At least for me, personally, it was the first “kids’ movie” I saw that was chock full of “adult” jokes (that I understood.)
Granted, I grew up with Rocko’s Modern Life, Animaniacs, and other shows that had hidden jokes for the parents. But as far as movies went? Shrek was groundbreaking for me.
Shrek 2 , I feel has a special place in Hollywoo history along side the first Scary Movie. They are very accurate pop culture time capsules. The first shrek was yet another giant middle finger to Disney from Katzenberg, they are all very much products of their time.
