In Which Lee Is Easily Entertained

[xifeng]

1.) I was going to blog about this when it actually happened, which is way too long ago (couple-three weeks), but it's too lolarious not to share, so here.

Overheard in the breakroom:
ICS guy whose name I forget: Yeah, so between that and Darth Lamer there...
Inventory Girl: Darth Lamer?
ICS Guy: Yeah. Didn't you ever see Star Wars?
Inventory Girl: Well, yeah, but I don't remember the characters.
ICS Guy: But you know who Darth Vader is, right?
Inventory Girl: ...He's the villain, right?
ICS Guy: Yeah, but what was his role in the movie?
Inventory Girl: Uhhhh...
ICS Guy: He was over the Death Star, remember? Like, he was the...[significant pause]...general manager of the Death Star.
Inventory Girl: Ohhhh! [laughs as the cunning reference sinks in]

Yeah, so now every time I see our weedy little faggot of a GM, I think of him as Darth Lamer. Half the store thinks he's an idiot anyway, a belief which is amply justified, so what else is new.


2.) I say this with the best will in the world, I really do, but men can be the goddamn stupidest people sometimes. (So can women, but it's a different kind of the goddamn stupids.) Male flist excepted, except when y'all have the goddamn stupids. Not that I should have expected a whole lot else from life on these Internets, but seriously, just because I have a cunt doesn't mean you get to see or touch it. (And the guys who have gotten to see and/or touch it didn't get that way by going OHAI WANA HAV S3X at me, so, y'know, there's something to be said for patience and subtlety. As for women, we don't usually operate that way and the ones who do are nobody I would want to see or touch my cunt.)

Fortunately, I find this shit more lolarious than angry-making.

I do not have an appropriate Star Wars icon to reply to this post. This needs to be remedied.

More directly in line with your entry: whoa. I thought it was almost illegal to not be aware of Darth Vader. I consider it illegal and find that lack of knowledge disturbing. But at the same time, some twitchy moron getting his own Sith title cracks me up, so I'd just have to get over it to enjoy the lulz.

Oh, man, do I ever agree with you on point #2. I don't know why I continue to let myself be surprised when men act idiotic about sex, or when men on the Internet make their own gender look terrible, but I do. DDD:

I am very disappointed in you. I have always been partial to the "Luke, come give Daddy a hug" icon of Dusty's, though, which I feel may adequately sum up the whole thing.

People around here don't watch movies unless they entail chainsaw murderers or else an intolerably saccharine love story, so I was less shocked and surprised than I likely should have been. Also, I will now mentally sing "It's the L to the A to the M-E-R!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH8b5ruc_-E) every time I pass Darth Lamer in the aisles. Somebody should tell him that the DA cut went out in the '50s.

People in general never fail to amaze with the level of idiocy, but there's something about the goddamn Fat Girl Angle Shot and the fact that I am female (which means I have boobs!...and a vagina!) that seems to draw them. Also, I think my indifference arouses a lot of them.

OHAI WANA HAV S3X??????

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

YES I DO, BUT HOW WOULD WE DO IT ON THE INTERNET? HOW, Tara. D:

[tara]

IT MAY INVOLVE ELECTROCUTION IF WE ARE NOT CAREFUL D:

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

OW OW OW OW PAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN I DON'T WANT TO FRY MY GENITALS D: (or yours, for that matter).

(Randomly, speaking of electrocution, I got a letter from the electric company asking me to sign up for some or another program they're running. Except I don't own property or pay electric bills, and my name isn't on Mom's Vectren account. Fuckin' mailing lists, how do they work?)

They probably found out that you bought an electicity-using product once upon a time and decided that you may well need some electricity to go with it :D

S-M-R-T. Smrt, the electric company is it :D
