Backstreet Boys? They rock my world!
Great Google Searches

I was surprised to find that the specific phrase, "Backstreet Boys Rock my World" was not going to yield only hits to this blog. When I was in High School, I put up letters around my basement that said that exact phrase in reference to a real conversion Adam Bachman had when we were in Atlanta, GA for the LCMS Youth Gathering. (I should note that Adam was not the one who held this opinion. More, it was whatever weird Florida kid he was talking to.) The best part was that when you entered my basement, because of how I had hung the letters, it simply said, "BOYS ROCK MY WORLD". Which must certainly be true?

I can confirm this.

The first couple times I entered the Basement of Mookie I thought he had he labeled the sides of his house, "Street", "Back", "Rock", "World", which I thought was odd. When I found out it was "Backstreet Boys rock my world"....it was equally odd.

And then we found his school ID where he looked like a 25 year old Mexican in 10th grade.

That does sound and is strange. Did he have an accent back then, and no mention of any Apple II. Strange indeed.

Take Care

Setting - circa 1998, Lutheran National Youth Gathering. 30000 or so high-school age people from all over the USA gather in Atlanta to hang out for a week. Everyone is a stranger so it's good to be friendly. Full conversation follows:

Me: So, we just went to a Newsboys concert, it was pretty cool. Have you guys ever seen the Newsboys

Weird Florida Guy (said with strong southern accent): Newsboys? I ain't never heard of no Newsboys. The Backstreet Boys rock my world!
