I used to listen to girl talk so much that now when I hear the original songs I keep expecting the girl talk mashup in my head.

Kind of like those old music compilation TV commercials.

Love when you get on a kick posting about a show. I’m watching Parks and Rec with my son (his first time through) and am frequently reminded of some of your P&R posts.
