And in the highly unlikely even that you ever get to be naked with a woman, she might ask what it means and then you can break down and cry and blub and get all snotty, and then she won't pop your cherry.

Opal Fruits changed their name to Starburstin 1998. Doesn't sound that long ago to people of my age, right? It was 13 years ago.
Jurassic Park came out 18 years ago. A genuine, proper lifetime ago.
