Do you read things in terms of TV and movie dialogue?
« on: June 04, 2013, 06:29:25 pm »
Hhmhmhmh. Like, many times when I say 'YEAH' to something, it comes to mind to say it because I think of the second of the black dudes in Trading Places, where the first one is saying something, and the second guy is always, "Yeah!". That's the other direction, actually. The "I said that...." someone said in a recent thread came to mind instantly. It was in a movie of the 80s. I think almost absolutely they weren't referencing that movie via their expression, but I thought of it.

I have the gift of starting conversations in the middle of the context instead of the beginning, and it is usually so cryptic that only family members can decipher.  It is like talking in code, but I get scolded for doing it just the same by the non recipients of the conversation, usually with a few WTF?, much to the amusement of the attending family member.

But I have to reserve a special WTF for your above Post GA.   ::)
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

Sometimes when GA posts, I'm pretty sure he's a ghost and is posting quotes from the Handbook For the Recently Deceased

...from anotha pla-net!  AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. yOU SEE?

Yeah, I've had a habit of that, too. What's funny is, I'll notice it later and be all 'hey, top-down, remember?', and try to spontaneously think of a way to have told the gist of the story before I started to tell it.
