2. I still don't get the Holiday Inn Express jokes
is that an old DU thing, or some other cultural reference I'm missing?

3. No, and Yes.
Not a DU thing, it is a cultural reference as TV ads are a part of our culture.

The Holiday Inn Express ads of late feature folks who seem suddenly prepared to do something uncommon or requiring expertise because, as the script goes, "no, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night".

The ads are probably on the youtube...

:hi:

8. Ewwww...sorry to hear that.
I travel a lot, was in a HIE in Wichita last Friday night, not my favorite chain but never had a bug...

Since you don't have TV, here's a cute ad that I think is the funniest in years.

7. Understandable. I've gone through "no tv" periods, too.
In grad school, especially, and even now I don't have cable, so most I've what I watch is football.

Here's a couple, on youtube.
