Strange (yet true) Conversation with my Brother

Phone rings.

Me: "Hello?"
Bro, with conversation/music/noise in the background: "HEY."
Me: "Yeah?"
Bro: "Do you remember those things, those big things, that lived above the Fraggles?"
Me: "... what?"
Bro: "You know! The big ogre-y type things! Fraggle Rock!"
Me: "Oh! Yeah... Hm."
Bro: "What are they called?"
Me: "Uh.."
Bro: "LOOK IT UP, if you have to!"
Me: "The Gorgs, you mean?"
Bro: "THE GORGS! OF COURSE! BYE!"

Ladies and gentlemen, who among us would like to venture a guess as to why, at nearly two in the morning, my brother desperately needed to know the term "Gorg"? Why was he so thrilled to know the term?

Clearly, he was drunk, and I believe he was at his favourite bar. But... why would anyone need to know the term "Gorg" at two in the morning?

I can't count how many conversations just like this I have had with my parents/sibs/kids, instigated by both me and them. I love it :)
