Back in the day, in the glorious age of high school, I had a friend named Josh. At some point, my group of friends learned that Josh hated the game Parappa the Rapper. While I’m sure half of us easily agreed with him, none of the rest of us were so vocal about our dislike for the game… thus a nickname was born.

Both Brian and I were reminded of this when w saw a certain strip from Lore Brand Comics this evening… sadly, I don’t have Josh’s current email address, so I’m left with posting it for everybody but Josh to see. [And, incidentally, now is a good time to point out that the title of this entry was “old school joke,” not “old-school joke.” The distinction is critical, here.]

But, damn. I had completely forgotten about Parappa. Those were good days, all right.
