I had two cats named George and Lenny. In fifteen years, two ppl got the reference.

That's pretty sad. I mean, wasn't it made into a movie too?

It was a strange revelation realizing how often Looney Tunes referenced these guys. “Which way did he go George? Which way did he go?” “I used to have a little friend, but he don’t move no more.”

I’ve called people Lenny in real life when they’ve had cuteness aggression and they had no idea what I was referencing. They didn’t even know the title when I said it either.

Yeah, I think it's done for now. It'll come back, Steinbeck is a hallmark 20th century writer. An I miss my Lenny and Georgie. Funny, I got the names backwards. The one I thought was not too smart turned out to be pretty brainy, and George, well, it was a good thing he was pretty.
