The Amateur Hello Kitty Thread?

[tapu]

I had no idea that that little pink kitty stuff had such a following. Of course, I've seen it. But I thought it was for children.

Don't get me wrong--hey! It's very nice. Very cute. Very, um, pretty, yes.

I like cats.

Now, I'm thinking that since moving to Maine, I've lost track of more pop culture than I realize. Just a month ago, in another state, I found a very cool little wristwatch in a hospital gift shop and I was so pleased with it. When I showed to my teen cousins, they were like, "Duh (kids still literallly say 'duh'?), it's an Air Sport." Or whatever. I was surprised to find out that it comes in, oh, 60-odd(?) colors? Mine is black.

Please confess similar cluelessness about pop culture. Or... clue us in. Oh, hey, I had another one: Hula Hoops. Who knew? They're... weighted... and adult people do it in... groups.
