Strange Conversations: Part One Hundred and Thirteen
Posted 7 April 2009 in Strange Conversations by Catriona
And with the departure of my parents, back to your regularly scheduled programming: a conversation about Lego Star Wars.
ME: I keep committing treason.
NICK: What do you mean?
ME: Well, Queen Amidala stands too close to me. I keep hitting her with my lightsaber.
NICK: I don’t think you can commit treason against Lego.
ME: Really?
NICK: I don’t they they have a suitably sophisticated sense of the protocols and processes of government.
ME: Don’t they?
NICK: Well, they’re only plastic.
ME: But then why would they have queens?
NICK: Um . . .
ME: I see a flaw in your Lego theories.
NICK: Very possibly. They’re only embryonic. But I did study under the masters.
ME: Like Lego Angela McRobbie?
NICK: More like Lego Michel Foucault.

ME: I was reading today about a feminist theorist called Angela McRobbie. She writes all about womens magazines.
STEPH: Yeah but when are you going to do the wiping up?
ME: Ok
