There’s a lad a work who I’ll call WorkLad.  I’ve blogged about him in the past, conversations with him are so bizarre and quickly turn so surreal that much of the working day is spent boggling at the workings of his brain.

I think I’ve mentioned it before, he not only watches WWE wrestling, but truely believes everything he sees.  One of my favourite subjects to wind him up at the moment is the death of Eddie Guerrero, he gets genuinely upset when I talk about my theory that Eddie is still alive and will make a surprise comeback.

During one of these discussions he was telling us about the wrestling pedigree of Eddie and his family.  Eddie’s dad used to wrestle, his cousin Chavo still does, and his friend Rey Mysterios’ fathers were all wrestlers.

Intrigued as to how Rey could have more than one father, we pushed him on the issue, this is the answer we got:



So we understood where his misunderstanding had come from, but as to the actual explanation of how a person could physically have four fathers, he explained it was:

     

And in his head, that entirely answered the question.

But then this was the same worklad who listened in on a long discussion about timetravel and whether it’s ever going to be possible, with a number of logical and scientific points raised.  Towards the end of the discussion he chipped in with the authoritative “Yes it’s possible, Marty McFly did it”.

And in his head he’d just conclusively proved his point and won yet another arguement.

I met with claire a couple of weeks ago, trying to do the friends thing.  Was just awkward though. 

I do want to stay friends, cos claire is great, so will try again some time in the future i guess.

At one point in the conversation I mentioned that I was going out later that week to the Ritz nightclub in Manchester, which is where I went with Claire on her 21st.  The subsequant conversation gave me great insights into how the mind of a woman works!

I’ve always had trouble with alignments in d&d .. just what exactly is lawful evil ... how can you be lawful, and evil?

But it recently got explained to me in Star Wars terms, Darth Vader is lawful evil, because he’s a git, but follows/enforces the laws of the Empire.  Obi wan is lawful good, Han is chaotic good etc etc

Everything makes sense when you ‘star wars it’!

None of which is relevent to the cartoon .. which kinda speaks for itself, so there’s no point in me going on about it here

don’t ask, don’t wanna talk about it

(in case you’re wondering ...  it had nothing to do with publication of the last cartoon [g])
