I went to a film festival yesterday to see a movie about Beowulf, and on the way out a really hot girl asked me for a jump start. She asked what I was doing there so I told her I saw a movie based on Beowulf. She said she had never heard of Beowulf, even after I explained that it was the first epic poem in the English language, dating from around the year 600.→[More:]
So what is it about women approaching me in parking lots lately?

Hi, agro. I don't want to ruin your already-ruined posting streak, so I'm posting here instead of on the front page.

Some weird glitch has banned me from IRC. When I try to connect (even though I was there 5 minutes ago), I get weird error messages. I'm told that I'm a spambot, although I'm pretty sure I'm not. I mean, I don't really have anything to sell, so how could I be a Spambot?

Anyway, just wanted y'all to know why I "left." And wanted you to know that I'm pissed at the IRC gods. And they will pay.

If not now, soon.

It's because you're attractive. Deal with it!

You know, I could use a jump start.

The lack of cullinary fungal knowledge I can let slide, but someone never having heard of Beowulf?!

How was the movie?

Yeah! Was it the new Beowulf and Grendel? Was it really good? Did it suck? Just 'meh'?

Yep, it was the new Beowulf and Grendel. It was pretty good!

~~Chuck Norris~~Grendel doesn't have a mother. ~~Chuck Norris~~Grendel is the result of the spontaneous accumulation of absolute badassedness.

Someone's taken a tupping liberty, is what I'm saying.
