There are certain movies you're okay with admitting you watched over and over as a child: Neverending Story; Troop Beverly Hills; Ferris Bueller's Day Off*.
Then there are the ones you knew even back then should be watched with the curtains drawn: Annie; National Lampoon's European Vacation; Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise.
But every once in awhile, those bad movie memories you've tried so hard to suppress come up without any warning. Take the following dialog I recently had with a colleague.
Me: What's the name of the hotel where we're having our happy hour?
Colleague: The Essex Hotel.
Me: Hehe.
Colleague: What?
Me: Revenge of the Nerds II? Hot Oral Sex?
Colleague: [Blank, semi-uncomfortable stare].
Me: They go on vacation and stay at the Hotel Coral Essex, but some of the neon letters are burnt out, so it reads Hot Oral Sex.
Colleague: Oh. [Polite "um, your really weird" half smile.]
Me: Get it? The letters? They're... oh never mind.
Everyone has those "I'm all alone in my weirdness" moments. So in the spirit of being together with everyone's weirdness, join us Friday from 5-8 p.m. at the Essex Hotel (1001 Collins Ave.) for $7 Purple cocktails. I promise it'll be more fun than Hot Oral... oh, never mind.
