It was Richie, carrying a large tray with twenty pink-frosted chocolate cupcakes he'd made himself. Since he admittedly had never spent much time learning to cook, the frosting was messy and the cupcakes were somewhat uneven. Still, Richie had made an extra one to taste himself, and everything tasted fine.

"Hi, Lulu!" Richie said with a big grin, holding out his tray so she could see it. "Happy birthday!"

"Sounds good to me," Richie said with a smile. "And I don't care if they're girly movies. I'm from 50 years ago. How would I know?" He was teasing, but gently, poking more fun at himself than at her. "That wrestling stuff. The really big scary guys hitting each other with posts and baseball bats. We had professional wrestling in the 50s, but it still looked a little like wrestling."

Re: 8 PM lulu8889 August 16 2009, 04:20:02 UTC

Lulu laughed. "I'm sure if you see one you'd be able to tell." Wrestling? "Ha. You must've started watching WWF. Or whatever they changed their acronym to. Believe me, that is not the best of what tv has to offer."

Re: 8 PM richie_bucko August 17 2009, 19:36:09 UTC

Richie smiled. "Well, maybe. But you've been giving me all this training about how what girls and boys do is so different now." Not that he minded. He wouldn't want to upset anybody because he was old-fashioned. "I guess that was it. I didn't stick around long enough to find out; I didn't like it much."

Re: 8 PM lulu8889 August 18 2009, 07:54:32 UTC

"This is true. But there are still some movies that girls typically like more than boys. And vice versa. Though it's not a hard and fast rule. What sorta tv did you watch back at home?"

Re: 8 PM richie_bucko August 18 2009, 15:49:58 UTC

"Oh," Richie said. He wasn't quite sure, if girls were now not so different from boys, why there were certain things that boys and girls were more likely to like in particular, but he chalked it up to being from the 50s and trying to catch up. "Well, I love comedy--I Love Lucy, Your Show of Shows, Jack Benny, Burns and Allen."

Re: 8 PM lulu8889 August 18 2009, 21:09:03 UTC

"Oh, there's a lot of good comedies on the air that I could recommend. Comedies are abundant, but not always good."

Re: 8 PM richie_bucko August 19 2009, 17:22:30 UTC

"Great," Richie said. "I'll watch anything you think I'd like. Though there are some I don't really understand." He'd seen that one with the guy who had a lot of girlfriends and his brother who had no girlfriends raising a little boy, and had been completely perplexed about why it was meant to be funny.

Re: 8 PM lulu8889 August 21 2009, 00:53:26 UTC

"Awesome. Though we should start with movies, probably. Easier to do one-shots than start you on series that have been going for a while." Lulu grinned. Richie's trust in her was nice.

Re: 8 PM richie_bucko August 21 2009, 01:12:53 UTC

Richie smiled. "Sure, okay. That makes sense. I don't watch a huge amount of TV anyway." Not as much as there was available. TV in the Cunningham house was still a novelty; the day wasn't planned around it or anything like that.

Re: 8 PM lulu8889 August 21 2009, 01:15:11 UTC

Lulu grinned. "I, um. Do. Or did. Well, sort of still do. I just watch a lot of things, movies, tv shows and the like. I wouldn't say I'm addicted to the thing, but...I do like it a lot."

Re: 8 PM richie_bucko August 21 2009, 01:17:10 UTC

Richie laughed. "No, I completely understand. From what I've seen, the TV is a bigger part of life here than it was in my time. We just...weren't totally sure what to do with it yet."

Re: 8 PM lulu8889 August 21 2009, 01:20:44 UTC

Lulu nodded. "That must've been so weird! Not having the tv there and stuff. And the internet. I don't know how I would've survived."

Re: 8 PM richie_bucko August 21 2009, 01:21:30 UTC

Richie nodded. "Well, we did get a TV...my freshman year of high school. But honestly, we still do mostly community stuff. Like my dad is in the Elks, and...you know." He shrugged. "It's just different. We're used to having to find different things to do. Though I have to say, the Internet is pretty cool."

Re: 8 PM lulu8889 August 21 2009, 01:22:20 UTC

"Looking things up would be so odd. And different. What's the Elks?" Lulu asked, confused.

Re: 8 PM richie_bucko August 21 2009, 01:24:06 UTC

"Yup, you have to go to the library and find the encyclopedias. With books, you have to be a lot more sure of what you're looking for before you look." Richie was surprised by Lulu's question. "Don't they have the Elks anymore? It's a club for guys to get together and meet...they arrange fundraising and community events. It's kind of like the Shriners Or the Rotary. Or the Kiwanis."
