Answer the question, Claire

there's a new instant messaging program set up at work for everyone to use to talk about each other behind everyone else's back (iChat). each individual gets to choose a little jpeg picture that sits right next to their name in the window...i chose Claire from the Breakfast Club. the funny thing is a little word bubble pops up from the picture to indicate the picture is "talking" (why is this coming out so clumsy? technology is difficult to describe). i immediately IM-ed two different people with this word bubble: "and so this asshole wouldn't leave me alone! he kept yelling at me! he kept saying, 'Are you a virgin CLAIRE?! Answer the QUESTION CLAIRE! ANSWER THE QUESTION!' it was humiliating! but then after detention, we totally made out because he was kind of hot, in a bad boy way."

so IM-ed this to two different people and they had no idea what i was talking about. NO IDEA. clearly the Breakfast Club is not a part of any generation past "X". no one born after 1970 has a clue. unbelievable. i'll have to be more careful not to waste such a good joke next time.
