With Apologies to the Muppets

Learned about two new-to-me terms this past week.

First, the reason for the title of this blog post -- "Gonzo". Now, when I thought of Gonzo before this week, I thought of the long-nosed Muppet. Not anymore. LOL

Instead, now I know that "Gonzo" means a type of porn started in the 90s where there isn't a storyline and instead one gets straight to the sex. Huh. Had no idea that existed. I completely understand the use for it -- especially since in so many porn movies, the dialogue is just awful and takes you far, far away from any resemblance of being turned on. Although you could always watch with the sound off... But still. You're then watching two clothed people talking. Boooorrrrring.

Plus, come on, if you're watching a porn, do you really want to have to sit through the part about a job interview, or the non-sexual part of a massage, or the pizza boy arriving at the door -- or do you just want to get straight to it? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Sorry, Gonzo. As much as I am enjoying watching the new Muppets tv series, I'm going to chuckle every time you're on the screen. And I'm very glad I haven't stumbled across any porn starring Gonzo himself. :-O

The second term: "Netflix and Chill". Okay, I've heard this and seriously thought it just meant chilling out (aka relaxing) while watching Netflix. Seems legit, right?

<insert Price of Right loser music here> Yeah, no. It means coming over to someone's house just for sex. Alright, kids, really? Nowhere from "Netflix and Chill" do I get the idea of sex. If I'm watching Netflix, I want to watch Netflix. Now, call it Redtube and Chill or YouPorn and Chill and it makes sense. But Netflix and Chill? Nope. I don't get it.

However, should someone invite you over to "Netflix and Chill", now you'll know what they really mean. It's the new "Come on up for some coffee", I guess.
