It was Totally Krossed Out.
By KRIS KROSS.
Oh, you don’t know about Kris Kross?
They were a teen rap duo in the early Nineties. Their big gimmick was WEARING THEIR CLOTHES BACKWARDS. Allow me to introduce you:
Can you see now why I came down with an unstoppable case of the (ever-attractive) snorting giggles when J informed me of this?
However, this isn’t really about Kris Kross, or my husband’s questionable taste in music as a child.
You see, it’s our anniversary on Friday.
And over the past four years of marriage, we’ve experienced enough together so that I know I’m married to an incredibly kind, brilliant and good man. I know that. But it’s the little things like this, the random, funny things that I didn’t know (until now) that truly warm my heart. And somehow, if it’s possible? Make me love him even more.
Then
Now
Happy Anniversary, J!

Since I’m apparently video-happy today, and the next few days are all about: (a) eating and (b) family, are there any of you that DON’T want to see:
A runaway frozen turkey?
or...
Nell Carter cavorting onstage and singing with Bea Arthur, Punky Brewster, Carlton from Fresh Prince, et al.?
I thought not.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Anniversary and Turkey Day!
Dude, Jump, Jump!
My first tape was Men at Work. :)
Yes, I said tape.
First concert, too!
Happy Anniversary
*snort* Kriss Kross - love it. And I too love learning those new things even (especially) after being together for so long.
Apparently J and I are the same age.
Or something.
Kris Kross was HUGE in my grade 12 year. I will never tire of them.
In other news...
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Do you ever *not* look hot?
Happy Thanksgiving. And Happy Anniversary!
You guys look so young there. And so cute.
But dud, Kris Kross, awesome.
My first CD was an LP: The Partridge Family. And I am not ashamed. I was ashamed, but then a few years ago Levi's used "I Think I Love You," in a commercial and my generation was validated. Perhaps someday "wiggity wiggity wack" will become a key part of Banana Republic's marketing plan and J will have the last laugh.
That NBC video was horrifying, but I will wish you a Happy Thanksgiving (and anniversary) anyway. Love your show, girl!
first tape: Rick Astley's Together Forever SINGLE.
first cd: Indigo Girls. (i think. i'm about 95% sure.)
Happy Thanksgiving.
and Anniversary.
:)
Wow, I'm almost speechless about that last video. See, NBC needs to get back to that kind of stellar program to rise back to the # 1 spot. That was hilarious.
Happy happy to you both!
My first CD was Mariah Carey's "Music Box," bought the same day I bought my first stereo, by Koss, at Sam's Club. My second CD was Stone Temple Pilots whatever-it-was-called-that-year-oh-they-only had-one-or-two.
J still wins.
Kriss kross. Snort.
Congratulations, and many happy returns.
Kriss Kross! How funny. That's going on my High School Redux cd that's been in the making forever.
My first tape was Def Leppard Hysteria.
Happy! KrissKrossOversary.
; )
(Hope it was an awesome one, with no backward-worn jeans, because I never really understood how that could be at all comfortable.)
(I once made up two dances to old-school Mariah Carey, on tape. "Someday." Oh, yeah baby.)
Happy belated Anniversagiving!
I was going to say you just made me feel officially old, but I see in the comments that I'm not the only one who was in college when Kriss Kross were big.
First album (yes, ALBUM, as in record) was Tiffany. Beat that, my friend.
Is it possible that I love you even more now? Kidding. Oh man, when I used to babysit in the late 80's early 90's I had the Kris Kross dance down pat and I would teach it to the innocent minds I was in charge of. I feel like I should send them each an apology note for my misguidance.
Happy Anni!
When I went on my first date with LA Mommy, I noticed she had a Color Me Badd cd sitting near her stereo. I almost left right then and there. I'm glad I didn't.
