Mary in LA's Journal, 01 August 2013

Lol! Were you one of the kids who listened to that song on the bus, or one of the parents? My kids came home singing and dancing to it after school.I didn't know what to think. At least now I can laugh about it. Funny journal. :) 

You other buddies can't deny.... ;) 

@Erika: LOL!  

I'm thinking there's some rap song involved that only the young understand .. but I like big carbs too ....  

Here's Sir Mix-a-lot's original rap, "Baby Got Back". (Warning! Lyrics are **NC-17**!) http ://www. youtube.com/watch?v=_JphDdGV2TU And here's my favorite version: Sir Mix-a-lot meets Gilbert and Sullivan! http :// www. youtube.com/watch?v=qkJdEFf_Qg4 I don't know if we're allowed to put links in our comments, so I've broken them up with spaces. 

Oh, argh. FS's commenting system screws up links. I shoulda known. :-P For Sir Mix-a-lot's original, go to Youtube and search for "_JphDdGV2TU" without the quotes. (Notice it starts with an underscore character.) For the Gilbert and Sullivan parody, go to Youtube and search for "qkJdEFf_Qg4" without the quotes.  

Even though "Baby Got Back" is rather obscene, I like it because it argues that men actually appreciate a woman's natural curves, and women don't have to make themselves crazy with dieting and exercising to be attractive. The song was a huge hit, BTW, and that didn't happen by accident. :-) 

Ahh... ok, got it. Well, good... cause I have quite the bubble going on back there now... not so much before my 50's hit but yup, definitely funny looking profile. As for what men like and what women do.. I had a guy friend who told his son the two most important thing about women was 'proximity' and 'willingness'. He tried to explain it was one thing to lust after a magazine cover, quite another to get the real thing.
