Grrr
I was at work-like always-, trying to think of things that amuse me. One of my coworkers came in to check on something, I dunno, I wasn't really paying attention. Now, this kid is a big Cohen brothers fan. As you may or may not know, I am not. So, as per usual, I made some stupid remark about them. He responded in kind. And then threw a piece of wadded up paper at me.
"I find your lack of faith disturbing."
I smirked. He then started to strut, as if I didn't know what that line was from. So, he challenged me to name it.
Sigh
After rattling off some extremely WRONG answers, I finally blurted out, "Of course it's from A New Hope! How could I not know that?"
His answer was something along the lines of "Because you're an idiot."
"What are you talking about, I know everything about Star Wars."
I saw him arch an eyebrow. So, he challenged me to name the bounty hunters.
"Which ones?"
"All of them."
Please. So, with tremendous valor, I rattled off them off. Zuckuss, 4LOM, Dengar, Bossk, IG88, Bouush, Boba Fett, Jodo Kast, Jango Fett and so on.
He bowed to my majesty. Either that or left, I dunno.
This reminded me of another night where ANOTHER coworker felt that I wasn't truly a fan of James Cameron's Aliens. So, I named all twelve marines. He was impressed.
Which brings me to the real point of this entry.
WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY EVER THINK I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!?!?!??!?!?!
