Twice this week Non Birding Bill has told me something that has just left me plain speechless:
1. “I can’t believe a girl would actually pick Steve over Brandon.” How many of you get that reference? Hey, let’s turn it into a contest–guess the reference in the comments section an win a Zeiss baseball cap.
2. “Can I come with you to banding tomorrow?”
What’s going on? Are the Poles switching places? Are cats and dogs going to start living together?
















Steve Vs. Brandon refers to Beverly Hills 90210 and the characters Ian Ziering and Jason Priestly played. I can’t remember every show, but some girl must have picked goofy Steve over suave Brandon. Rock on!
I can’t believe he watches and analyzes 90210. Not really a guy’s show.
Wow. And you’re sure he’s not gay? NBB watches 90210…
The going to banding thing is much less freaky because it means he’ll get to spend more time with you, but 90210? Just run away when he starts saying that 90210 is like Kabuki…

Man I have ovaries and I didn’t even get the reference. Impressive, NBB.,
Way to go, Amy! Email the snail mail and I’ll get your Zeiss hat to you.
I should defend NBB a little. The Soap Network shows 90210 and I have it on when I’m making dinner. I knew he paid attention to Valerie Malone (who wouldn’t) but I didn’t realize that he was following actual plot.
The comment stemmed from the episode when Brandon and Steve were on a dating game show and the girl chose to date Steve.
I was always a Dylan girl myself.
I’m still stuck on:
.”Can I come with you to banding tomorrow?”
I was a Dylan girl, too… which reminds me to buy the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” movie. Lots of Dylan in that (c:
In law school, we watched 90210, or “The Niner,” as we called it, for hours. We also watched Saved By The Bell, which is why we refer to Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (Valerie) as “Kelly Kapow-pow.”
And that’s why I’m posting anonymously.
Proud to say I never watched 90210 and didn’t get the reference. Also didn’t watch Saved by the Bell or Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I was more impressed by NBB going banding with you. If he isn’t careful, he’s going to lose his “N” status and become “Birding Bill.”
Way to go, B! Maybe you will get to see some plain brown birds.

90210 was cool back in the day. I also got the “cats and dogs living together” reference. Mass hysteria!
