SPOILER ALERT: This post spoils a 60-year-old movie, ya'll ;-) So be forewarned.
So, this might be news to some of you guys, but... I am kind of a dork.
Case in point--I was hanging out with these people who are all about 25% cooler than me, and they were teasing our mutual friend because he was irritated over an article spoiling the plot point of a movie that is at least ten years old (but he's never gotten around to seeing yet).
I joined in the fun.
See, I like to think I'm like Lorelai Gilmore or something, snapping out these pithy pop culture references a mile a minute. But when I try to do that, usually this happens:
I know it in my head, but it just comes out wrong.
Do you ever have any dorky moments of #fail?
PS ~ Captain Nemo looked over my shoulder while I was writing this, saw the first picture, and said, "Hon, it's ROSEBUD."
Me: "Yes, I know..." *sigh*

I have also accidentally referred to David Bowie as Jim Bowie, as in the Alamo guy.

When I read the first picture I thought smugly, "You mean Rosebud?" Then I realized that was the point. Then I felt dumb for feeling smug. You turned it on me!
ReplyDeleteEvil cackle! The hubs did the exact same thing, lol.
DeleteI mix people and things up all the time. I'll have a great long conversation about Al Pacino and then my Honey will eventually understand and (not-so) gently point out that I'm actually talking about Robert De Niro.
ReplyDeleteYep.
DeleteWait...David Bowie didn't fight at the Alamo and have a knife named after him? And here I was thinking he was immortal.
ReplyDelete*grin*
DeleteI am terrible at telling jokes, which is sad since I know so many. I say the wrong thing a lot too, and my husband loves nothing more than to correct me each time.
ReplyDeleteNewest follower. Saw "steampunk" in a previous post and was hooked.
Welcome! I love all things steampunk :)
Deleteaw katie! too cute! i have a stutter and so i'll try to tell a joke or something, but i usually get stuck halfway through and screw up the punch line because of having to substitute another word for the one that just won't come out. ugh.
