View Full Version : When being a Geek goes wrong

My four-year-old twins had swimming lessons tonight. One of them did something pretty well, got excited, looked at my wife and I in the bleechers and said, "I did it! I did it!" My wife was next to me so I said, "Great kid, don't get cocky" so that she could hear me but my kid couldn't. I gave him a smile and the thumbs up while I said it. Well, one of the other parents could hear me too, I guess, completely missed the reference, and gave me a dirty look.
I AM GROOT!

Whoever does not get that reference should be kicked in the nads.

yeah. i did it with the exact inflection too, which only made things worse if you didn't know what i was doing.
again though, my kid just saw me smiling and giving the thumbs up.

All that matters is that your kid was happy. Don't worry about some moron who doesn't know shit about Star Wars. :D

Some parents are just too uptight.
i can't believe there's actually still someone in the world that hasn't seen star wars!

No, you can't ignore that. Ignoring the problem only lets it perpetuate through the natural order. Ney, Ney I say. Something must be done to this defiler of pop culture to stop the spread of such insanity. Perhaps a squad of geeks, a "Geek Squad" if you will should be sent to their location to commence a marathon viewing of the Holy Trilogy. Make it so, Number 1.:lol:
A Star Trek refernce in a Star Wars thread, the Ewoks will have my balls for this treachery...:scared:

You needed someone to do a Wookiee sound, so people understood.

I would've sat back, smiled, and said "YEAH... YOU ALL HEARD ME. I SAID 'COCK'."
And then I would've reached in my pocket, pulled out a pipe and said "YEAH... YOU ALL HEARD ME. I SAY THE WORD 'COCK' AND I SMOKE."
And then I would've pulled out a small dime bag of stinky weed, stuffed it into my pipe, light it and said, "YEAH... YOU ALL HEARD ME. I SAY THE WORD 'COCK'... AND I SMOKE. AND WHAT I SMOKE IS VERY STINKY WEED."
And then I would've taken a huge hit, hold it in for about ten seconds, then blow my smoke at those annoyed people and said, "YEAH... YOU ALL HEARD ME. I SAY THE WORD 'COCK'.. AND I SMOKE. I SMOKE WEED. AND NOW YOU'RE ALL SECOND-HAND HIGH."
And then I would've... well... at that point I would've cheered the wrong kid, since my stuff was pretty strong stuff. Upon realizing this... and by realizing, I really mean, my wife elbowing me and calling me "ass", I would've said "YEAH... YOU ALL HEARD ME. I... ummm..... I.... I CHEER THE WRONG KID!!! CAN I HELP IT IF YOU ALL DRESS THEM IN THE SAME FUCKING COSTUME??? I LOST TRACK OF MY KID TEN MINUTES AGO!! ONE WORD FOLKS... DIVERSITY. I DON'T KNOW, PATTIE.... DOES IT MAKE SENSE??!! I CAN'T TELL MY KID FROM YOUR KID AND YOUR KID IS A GIRL. YOU THINK THE AVENGERS GO INTO BATTLE AGAINST KANG WEARING THE SAME COSTUME??? WELL, I GOT NEWS FOR YOU... WHAT..? YEAH... I'M REFERENCING A COMIC BOOK. WELL, SMOKE MY COCK, SISTA. YEAH. FUCK YOU."
And then I would've taken one more hit... probably one more than I should've... and then I would've stood up... a bit wobbly in the knees... and I would've looked around... forget what I would say... and then giggle hysterically when I realize I'm standing for nothing... and then I would've sat down.
And then I would turn to my wife, look over at the game and ask her "who's playing?"
But that's just me.

it's quite possible that they saw star wars, but just don't have the pop culture memory about the quotes.

His wife should have - she really dropped the ball there...

It would have been funny if your wife then turned to the other parent and said, "You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems."
