Finally! Definitive proof that fogs can smile!
(I could watch this all day.)
Someone had to pick that one up.
Over the weekend, we recorded the Handel and Haydn Society’s season finale for WCRB In Concert, where it will air in the fall – and we caught this priceless moment on tape.

Y’know, a Boomer acquaintance of mine was saying she misses that older meaning of “gay”. She’s good with it meaning homosexual too, just she wishes you could also still say, “it was a gay party” without people sniggering.
At first I thought that was satire of gay-fearing folks.
I was unaware that boomers used gay to mean anything but homosexual. I thought the other meaning of gay was a generation or two before them.
And speaking of confusing double meanings, why does girlfriend mean female friend and female romantic partner, but boyfriend only means male romantic partner?
The use persisted at least into 60s cartoons…
The Flintstones is an American animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera for ABC. […] It was originally broadcast from September 30, 1960 until April 1, 1966, in a prime time slot, the first such instance for an animated series.
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones
They’re the modern stone-age family
From the town of Bedrock
They’re a page right out of history
Let’s ride with the family down the street
Through the courtesy of Fred’s two feetWhen you’re with the Flintstones
Have a yabba-dabba-doo time
A dabba-doo time
We’ll have a gay old time!
Well, they did say they were the modern stone age family…
