Here's a little glimpse into the ridiculous ramdon-ness that I call life...
Jan 30th
EliseArt sends me & Gorm an email with a picture of an ewok. (That's not all... it gets much more ramdon). She purchased a drawing tablet and the following conversation between me & Gorm ensued:
Feb 5th
Gorm: Yes, people emailing my hotmail are more privileged as I respond more than once a week normally.Me: Well, aren't they a lucky bunch then!
Gorm: And now, so are you!
Feb 6th
Me: Woo - hooo!! I'm special, just like everyone else!Gorm: "Which is just another way to say - nobody is" -The Incredibles
Feb 7th
Me: "D'Oh!" - The SimpsonsFeb 8th
Gorm: "Ha Ha!" -Nelson Muntz, The SimpsonsMe: "I think he's really hurt" - Milhouse Van Houten, The Simpsons
Gorm: "Why...why was I programmed to feel pain?" - Linguo, The Simpsons
Feb 9th
Me: "This hurts more than it looks" - Homer Simpson - The Simpsons
It's been going on like this ever since. We've, literally, been emailing Simpson quotes back and forth for months now. Holy fuck. And since Mar 22nd we've been on a single episode - Lisa The Vegetarian. We've dropped the quotations and stopped ending everything with "Person Who Said It, The Simpsons" so now it has taken on a structure of that of a screenplay (much like the above).
It doesn't happen everyday, but whenever I get one of these emails it's pretty much the highlight of that day for me. It makes me ridiculously happy. I love every bit of it. I love seeing what quote he uses and I love the scenes that play in my head as I relive the episode for myself and I love having to come up with my own quote.
It's so ridiculous, I just had to share. And you know how gmail starts a new conversation after 100 replies? No? Really? You don't? Well it does. And now we're on our second conversation.
I really don't think I should have been shown how long that thread has been going on.
ReplyDeleteLet's put this in perspective:
When that thread started, it was weeks before daylight savings time.
When that thread started, some people still hadn't given up on their New Year's resolutions.
When that thread started, not only did high school students not have spring break yet, POST-SECONDARY students hadn't had "reading break" yet.
And still going strong. But the Lisa The Vegetarian quotes are dwindling rapidly.
ReplyDelete[...] by my title, I think the Simpsons quote email has gone on too long. Or maybe not long enough. Anyway, I’m going to try and get more posts [...]
