Strange Conversations: Part One Hundred and Thirty-Five

Posted 15 May 2009 in by Catriona

In the run-down to Eurovision semi-final one, a conversation that occurred after I saw a tweet in which Nick declares himself to be “agast. Full of gast, I tells you!”:

ME: Oh, honey.
NICK: What?
ME: Oh, how embarrassing.
NICK: What?!
ME: “Aghast” has an “h” in it.
NICK: . . . I knew that.
ME: Really?
NICK: I was, of course, referring to the Dungeons and Dragons villain.

Which just makes the “full of gast” comment that little more disturbing.

Then I showed Nick the preview of this post:

NICK: You can follow up with “they make tasty eating!”
ME: No, I won’t.
NICK: Why?
ME: You didn’t say that!
NICK: I totally thought it.

I’m sure we had ordinary conversations before I made Nick an Internet celebrity (of sorts).
