Careful there cherub peepers, you're blowing through a couple of generational awareness thresholds, possibly confusing the young pups and dating yourself. ;)
I'm going to make an assumption that the median age of Loungers is higher than the general D2 population - let's say 25. Most of these people are reading the italics and muttering to themself "What the hell is Occhi on about?"
So, song reference one:
>Fat bottomed girls, you make this rotten world go 'round!
Released in 1978 ( Queen ) - most of our friends here would still be in swaddling clothes, or still be a cheese sandwich.
Pong or Atari would have been the top of the line "computer games" at the time.
Song referenece 2:
>Must be the season of the Witch!
Great tune, most people think "Sunshine Superman" or "Mellow Yellow" when Donovan is mentioned, "Season of the Witch" is my personal favourite ( followed closely by Atlantis ). Released in 1966 - I was 5. The Gemini program was the epitome of hi-tech, the Boeing 747 was still 3 years from going into service.
Oh, yeah, while I'm inclined to agree with AK I still like playing Druids as my diversion character. My first ever D2 char was a Pally who died many, many ignoble deaths in Act 2 while I was still learning the game. I was so scarred by the experience that, to this day, the thought of playing a Pally makes me nauseous.

Some people are like slinkys, not really good for anything but you just can't help but smile when you see them tumble down the stairs.
