Snicker

Amusing exchange between these two 20-something artgals on the bus (one of whom looked kinda like Kevin Bacon's baby sister, if he even has one; the other one looked kinda like Jason Segel, if he was a girl):

Bacon: We should go.
Segel: I don't do cosplay.
Bacon: I could go as Zelda.
Segel: Then I'd be Link. That would rock!
Bacon: Thought you didn't do cosplay.
Segel: I'd go if you went. It'd be a performance piece.
Bacon: Huh.
Segel: You know who I had a huge crush on, like when I was younger?
Bacon: Who?
Segel: Sean Connery.
Bacon: Yeah?
Segel: I mean, like before he was all leather handbag-faced. Way too much tanning. But everybody would make fun of me for my crush on Sean Connery.
Bacon: Huh. I liked Jimmy Stewart.
Segel: Yeah, Jimmy Stewart was like nice, but he could also be a badass.
Bacon: One time, I had a sore throat, and I sounded like Jimmy Stewart.
Segel: Wow. You know who else I like?
Bacon: Who?
Segel: Bill Bixby. But, like, nobody knows who he is, past a certain age. He was in 'The Incredible Hulk.'
Bacon: (grunts)
Segel: But I like him from "The Courtship of Eddie's Father." Like from that era.
Bacon: Wow.

That's all I heard, as I was getting off the bus. But I was amused. I hadn't thought about Bill Bixby since my childhood in the 70s, and these gals were at least 20 years from being born. Let alone them thinking about Jimmy Stewart and Sean Connery. It was amusing.
