"Geek" not "nerd"!
So, I met up with Katie and Eric for lunch today. This is part of a convo Eric and I had. Now, I don’t remember it word for word, but… this is basically the jist of it.
Me: Don’t talk to me like that! I’m… uh… Superman!
Eric: Pfft. Big deal. I’m Doomsday. I killed you!
Me: Only after I killed you!
Eric: Your mistake, because now I’ve evolved at the genetic level and learned how to not die!
Me: So? Thanks to things like Kryptonian rejuvenators, I can’t die, either! Not to mention my body keeps absorbing energy from the sun, even after I’ve died! Eventually, I’ll come back no matter what!
Eric: Yeah, well, I have no weaknesses! Unlike some pansies who get all knock-kneed at little green rocks!
Me: Ah well. At least I’m not trapped between two teleporters, constantly fluxing in and out of existence, never fully in one place or the other for the rest of eternity!
Eric: I’ll get out! And then you’ll pay! Cause I’m super smart now!
Me: Nope, that was only because Brainiac possessed you. Now you’re dumb as a rock again.
Eric: … I beat you to death once, I’ll do it again!
Katie: Oh…my…God! You two are enormous nerds!!
** Long pause. **
Me: (To Katie.) You can’t talk to Superman like that!
Eric: (Also to Katie.) Silence before Doomsday!
Keep in mind, we were at Lion’s Choice during all of this. Out in public.
I regret nothing.
