LOS ANGELES — Barbara "Cutie" Cooper, 93, speaks drolly to the camera, her words slurred from several strokes.

"Dear Abby has had her day, it's my turn now. Any problems ... contact me ... please call, don't write."

"Oh my goodness," chimes in Harry, her squeaky-voiced husband of 72 years. "She'll either send them to the poor house or up to the White House!"

From behind the camera come snickers and snorts from Kim and Chinta Cooper, half-sisters who barely knew each other before a crisis with their grandparents brought them together. When that happened, two years ago now, they decided Cutie and "PopPop" were so special they couldn't keep them to themselves.

So they bought a video camera, started a website and launched the "OGs" on the world.

The-OGs.com — short for Original Grandparents — has its own theme song (lyrics: "Oh wow, oh gee, it's the OGs!") and a handful of regular video features. In "PopPop's Adventure Corner," viewers look on as he discovers modern marvels like the iPod (He calls it his "music box.") In "Ask Grandma Anything," they get style advice from Cutie, a bold fashionista who was recently kicked out of the dining room at the couple's retirement home for wearing leggings that were, Kim admits, "too sexy."

Thousands of fans from around the world have tuned in to watch the couple opine on such topics as time travel ("it's possible"), lesbians ("just do your thing"), and Michael Jackson ("He was a very unhappy young man who didn't know if he was fish or fowl").

They've been like this practically since they met, in the 1930s on the tennis courts at Poinsettia Park in Los Angeles.

Cutie, who was born in Egypt and came to the United States as a child, didn't think twice about PopPop when they were first introduced. But when an aunt prodded her to reconsider the Philadelphia-born former Army private, "I opened my eyes and saw him. He had black curly hair and brown eyes — big brown eyes."

At Hollenbeck Palms nursing home in Boyle Heights, Calif., they still sleep in the same twin bed and kiss more often than teenagers.

Fellow residents attest that Cutie, slim and wide-eyed with bottle-blonde hair, is never far from PopPop, who, with his straight back and strong shoulders, has the figure of a younger man, his 98 years revealed only in the age spots on his face and the soft layer of fuzz on his head.

A recent video blog captures their reunion after Cutie's solo hair appointment.

"How are you?" she asks after they kiss.

"Lonesome," he replies.

"Good, you're supposed to be when I'm not there."
