Who's going to be in Journey for the April meet-up?

[CanuckAmok]

Okay...Joe Perry.

Anyone else?

[tuvor]

1. Huh? What?

Do you mean Steve Perry?

What April meet-up do you speak of? The one I can't go to?

Where's Journey? Is it beyond Hope?

Don't mind me.

[CanuckAmok]

2. Steve. Right. Weren't they related?

I mean, they still would be, right?

[tuvor]

3. If they were, I'll bet Joe kicked Steve's ass a lot.

I wonder if they're both related to Matthew Perry.

Maybe their dad is Jim Perry. Remember "Definition"? (Assuming you watched Canadian TV game shows in the 70s.)

Really. Don't mind me.

[CanuckAmok]

4. Yes. He was the Man from Glad for a while, too.

Who could resist Definition? Channel 9 in Toronto showed Definition back to back with the Flintstones every day at lunch...and I used to come home for lunch.

Did you know Quincy Jones wrote the Definition theme? The one that's used in the Austin Powers movie?

[tuvor]

5. Of course I knew that!

And the Dream Warriors sampled the song for My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style. And Ludacris samples it on his newest CD.

I remember seeing Definition and the Flintstones at lunch, too. And check this! I actually submitted a "definition" that they actually *used* on the air! Pretty happenin' for a nerdy 10-year-old!

(Are you sure Jim Perry was one of the men from Glad? Whatever happened to him, anyway?)

[CanuckAmok]

6. I think he died.

That was over 25 years ago, you know.

Now, what's this about Luke Perry dogsledding to the South Pole?

[CanuckAmok]

7. Maybe not dead, but...

66 years old:

8. Oh, right, I forgot about his dye-job.

You know, I think he actually made it as far as hosting some game shows in Los Angeles.

Damn, I'm having too many flashbacks tonight.
