Nevermind the buzzcocks just blew my mind
I've been watching series one of Nevermind the Buzzcocks, but I skipped ahead to episode 7 because Peter Hook of Joy Division (and New Order) is a guest. When it gets to his teams turn in the Intro Round (where two team members try to do the intro to a song and the third team member has to guess the song) the third song Hookey's teammates do for him is a Sex Pistols song, and he new which song it was, and what it was about, but not the title. "It's the one about the berlin wall" and Mark Lemar (sp) gave him the two points.
Now you are asking me why this is mindblowing. Well basically it's because Peter Hook was one of the few people in attendance for the first Sex Pistols show in Manchesster in 1975. The show that basically started the manchester music scene.
Is it sad that I just got a ridiculous amount of joy from that moment of nevermind the buzzcocks? Does this make me a huge nerd?

-aside from the MTS moderator-
Somebody kind of recently posted in the comments with a userpic that was an animated loop of a drawing of a cat jumping on the table while someone is eating. I wanted to show it to somebody and I don't remember in which of the zillions of comments I saw it in, or even when. If it's you, can you post a little "hello" so I can link my friend to it? Thanks.
PS. I got engaged! :D
Edit: Thanks guys, you rock! It's this one:
(I have a 12 week old kitten and she doesn't yet comprehend that when she gets chucked off the table it isn't a suggestion that she try a more clever or persistent way to eat my food. It's this icon, exactly. She's even gray.)
