12:39 am
Gillie
I don't think so - good one!
12:39 am
hokie carla
it's kinda stupid but also I'm sure I've used it before 😜
12:40 am
Gillie
In summer, certain areas are always gn8 than others
12:41 am
hokie carla
exactly
12:42 am
hokie carla
back in my 20s I had a co-worker from Buffalo who didn't know what a gn4 was. she said they didn't have them there. I think I said it and she was like, what did you say? like she had literally never heard the word before either.
12:43 am
hokie carla
but now that you in canada know them, I'm thinking she was just clueless and they prob do have them in buffalo.
12:44 am
Gillie
It seems likely
12:55 am

6:12 am
Deeha
thats the boy! Listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, recorded 1975!! cant believe he was only in his 20's then. Of course he is now SIR Brian May musician and astrophysicist!! An odd combination
