Meeting Lady Mondegreen
Riding home from dinner tonight (Red Lobster's seafood is mediocre at best, but not even I can deny the allure of Cheddar Bay Biscuits, nom nom nom), singing along to Three Dog Night when Roomie turns to me and says, "It's 'That's not the way to have fun, son.'"
Me: "Not, 'That's not the way that was'?"
Roomie: *Shakes her head*
Me: *Listens to the chorus a couple more times* "You're right." *Listens to chorus again* "That makes a lot more sense. So I've been getting that wrong for the last twenty years, huh?"
Roomie: "Yep."
In other news, just got back the beta of Ye Olde Big-Bang fic from my familiar-with-SPN-only reader. It was overwhelming... and positive. So there's hope that I haven't spent the last two months obsessing over a piece of crap. Yays!
