Rapid cultural change in a nutshell.

When Donnie Darko* was set, in 1988, four teenagers jumping on their bikes to go across town in the evening was a reasonable thing.

When Donnie Darko was made, in 2001, it was an historical reference.

Wow.

*Which I watched for the first time tonight.

Yeah, when I was a kid in the late 70's and early 80's in San Diego, a whole pack of us rode our bikes everywhere, like miles and miles away from the house (with no helmet!).

Kids miss out on a lot these days, I think.

And I heart Donnie Darko, especially references to it, which allows me to break out the icon, lol.

If I were just a little more motivated, I'd answer you with Jumping Reagan. But don't quite care enough to make the icon.

That's ok, I like your hat too.

You know, Ken, sometimes I question your commitment to Sparkle Motion!

Not often, though.

You're already quoting the movie!

Now I'm going to have to watch it again soon, which of course, is not a bad thing.
