) could relate.

It would be very scary if one ended up looking like both of them at the same time

Congrats Mar on your 1K

Welcome to 1000, @Maharlika.

But reading your quote, I find I can't relate at either end. (Disco? Ugh! An old friend of mine had a garage band back in the 70s, and issued a single called "Disco Sucks." I still remember one quote from it, spoken sarcastically while the band riffed in the background: "Waiter, there's a fly in my soup, and it's got 3 inch heels.") Guess I was always outside the commercially served majority, and always will be.
