Miffed at bad taste

So this dude I know was like, "I'm not really impressed with Game of Thrones" and I think if I had something hot or sharp I would have pushed it into his skin.  I literally had to stop myself from commenting on just how idiotic a comment that was.  I can understand someone not liking the content, or not liking the style, or the actors.  But no impressed with the show?  Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you.  I shut that conversation down so fast in the hopes that I wouldn't go physically violent on his ass.  I forget exactly what I said but it was short and probably mean.   He replied, "maybe I should watch it again."  Yeah dude, you fucking go do that.  Now.  And come back with the right answer.

Winter is coming does a great recap of tweets from the eps.  But I'm going to be listing my favorite as well:

From Episode 1.5 (Wolf and Lion):

@HarmoniumGuard: Fact: Tonight’s tag is #wolfandlion. Also the name of Barristan Selmy’s fists.
@CarLNJF: I hope to work the phrase “Go find the breastplate stretcher” into conversation tomorrow at work. #GameOfThrones
@DeusExCinema: Man that’s some poncey armour. #GameofThrones
@silkskinned: I didn’t catch on that Renly was probably banging the Knight of Flowers until about book 3. His first appearance? 30 seconds. #gameofthrones
@Paco_ICEandFIRE: WHATTTTTTT?! MY LITTLE PONYS HEAD!!! #GAMEOFTHRONES #WOLFANDLION
@lag28wa: Somehow ‘sore loser’ doesn’t seem to cover it #GameofThrones
@silkskinned: I want a dragon skull to use as an armchair. Arya is pimping, yo. #gameofthrones

I love the second by second tweets of the last scene:
@jennnmarshall: OoOoOh Kingslayer, I yield! #gameofthrones
@textualdeviance: Holy FUCK. #GameofThrones
@bockanalia: Omg. My eye! My eye! #GameofThrones
@elena__ghaha: #gameofthrones ned can fight!
 @TheBWCF: OOOO WHAT A DICK MOVE #GameofThrones
 @lucchaser: Noooo Boromir!!! Not again #GameOfThrones #HBO

lunch talks

Monday

Vishal: So what is the religion in the US, Christianity?

Me: um…well, no. I guess maybe it’s built on Christian principles but we aren’t a ‘Christian’ Country.

Vishal: What kind of country are you?

Me: We aren’t meant to be a ‘religious’ country per se.

Vishal: What’s the majority?

Me: I guess Christianity. Although I’d estimate we have equal parts jews/non-believers so all together that makes up the majority.

Vishal: What are you?

Me: Me? I’m nothing.

Vishal: You are a nonbeliever????”

Me: Yes.

[silence]

Varsha: You don’t pray…at all?

Me: No.

Varsha: Wow, I spend so much time praying.

VishalG: Well then what do you do when you need to do really well on a test? Who do you thank if you get a promotion?

Me: I study. And I guess I thank my luck.

[laughter]

Vishal: I guess there is something in that, You are completely responsible for yourself.



Wednesday

Vishal: Are you going to have your cook learn Indian food when you go back to the states?

Me: [snort] Yeah, I’ll make sure to teach myself.

Vishal: You cook?

Me: Yes, I do everything.

Vishal: Your laundry? [nod] Your dishes? [nod] Your ironing? [nod] Your driving, your car washing?

Rupal: It’s cleaner there, they don’t need to wash their cars.

Vishal: How much does it cost to clean your car?

Me: 10 bucks for the outside.

Vishal: The OUTSIDE? I pay 4 dollars a month and I get it cleaned every day. How much is baby care?

Me: Women I know don’t go back to work because they’d lose money paying for daycare even with their jobs.

Vishal: I don’t understand, don’t you have any luxuries? I thought you had Mexicans?

Me: See? We don’t have time to pray.

Vishal: I feel better now, I like being Indian.
