Wish I’d prepared a better answer for that question.

Niece: “What kind of music do you listen to?”
Uncle Mishak: “Electronic stuff, hip-hop, rock and roll. And, uh, Goth music.”
Niece: “What’s Goth music?”
Uncle Mishak: “Well, you know how your Webkinz* has that Mysterious Magic room, with the doorway down to the Spooky Dungeon? Goth music is what they would play down in the Spooky Dungeon.”

* Webkinz are a big popular toy right now, a Beanie-Baby sized stuffed animal you buy that comes with a unique web password, you go online and register and you got a virtual pet version of it you name and build rooms in a house and play games and earn virtual money to buy outfits and accessories. It’s real slick, interactive with other online Webkinz owners, and they’re making up new games and virtual goodies all the time. There’s a very well executed implementation of Battleship in the game room, I could have played that all day. Which I might, since my sister gave me my own Webkinz to take home. It’s a cow. I’m gonna name him Lunch.

i think that's the only time that Webkinz and goth would be used in the same thought.

i read Lunch as Lurch - which might also be awesome.


(battleship was one of my favorite games growing up.)
