Straightening out your Johns

[juldea]

I am not sure if I just lost or won at life.

Around the time I was trying to wrap up the horrifically busy day of work I had today, I started seeing posts to Twitter about how John Hughes had died and how the internet was going to explode in response. @paulandstorm broke the news with "no more yankie my wankie." I chuckled to myself. References were made to "movie marathons," and I smirked at my friends. kobold reacted with outrage, and I nodded knowingly.

It wasn't until I got home a few minutes ago, was reading my friends page, and saw derspatchel's post listing a bunch of movie titles that it began to dawn on me that I was thinking of the wrong person.

Turns out John Holmes died in 1988 anyway.

*facepalm*

That's hilarious.

The strangest thing I can think of related to John Holmes was when I rented Inside Deep Throat (a documentary about the movie) and boggled at the discussion of Linda Lovelace and Harry Reems both going on to find religion.

Hah! That's amusing. :)

Now all I can picture is Molly Ringwald trying to deep throat John Holmes.

A very sarcastic thank you.

I made a split-second confusion with John Waters before I got it straightened out in my head...
