the other day at work i made the mistake of talking about some of my zillion star wars theories with the two coworkers who have
seen star wars
it was more than they could handle
i feel bad
I have a coworker who’s an old-school, 80s-kid, Star Wars nerd, who was pretty hardcore into the OT as a kid.
We both know it’s a game, but occasionally he’ll say really nerdy things about Star Wars and I’ll let him wind me up and then I’ll go off in incredible detail in response.
The same thing works with Lord of the Rings; he’s a movie fan, who read some of the wiki pages. I’m a has-memorized-the-books-since-childhood fan.
It’s only funny because we’re both in on it. Sometimes if someone else is present it’s fun to watch them get super weirded out. Because coworker knows some stuff, but I know all the stuff.
