more than meets the eye

this is old. from july 2nd. but i haven't had regular interweb access this summer, plus lots of other things happening in my life so i've been slow on the blog-thing.
i applagize.

===================================================

So we went with several hundred other nerds to see Transformers. Myself, my boyfriend, my girlfriend and her boyfriend. Yesh. Keep up. July 2nd, 740 pm we scrambled to find seats in an already full theatre for the 830 show…we had bought the tickets at 2pm that day.
Well, we sat down in the front and they sat waaaaaaaaaaaay in the back.
The movie was W I C K E D. CGI: outstanding. Dialogue: amusing, and love interest: cheesy.

Afterwards, we stayed to watch the credits along with the rest of our fellow nerds. Our eagerness was rewarded with two amusing clips.

While we were patiently waiting for the end of the credits (just in case there was sneak preview scene *wink wink*), I looked back to see someone stalking angrily towards me.

I had the following conversation:

Mr. Angry: WHAT ARE WE STILL DOING HERE?
Me: pardon?
A: WHY are we still HERE?!
Me: *sweetly* did you see XMen 2?
A: YEAH so what. There was an xmen 4? What?! So why are you sitting still? What are you waiting for?
Me: did you see XMen 2?
A: YEAH I did. SO?
Me: *still in my slow, sweet you’re-a-jackass-you-need-a-backhand voice* well [pause], if you saw XMen 2, you would remember that there was a trailer at the end of the credits that showed there would be a next movie.
A: *grunts* oh…. [stomps off]


The audacity of some people’s children!
Of course, after the fact is when my indignation cleared enough for the creativity to kick in…

Here are other possible answers to his rude question:

1. Pardon? I don’t speak Ignorant Negro, so you’ll have to say that again, but slower this time…
2. I’m sorry, did you just say you were taking the bus?
3. Excuse me? You wanted to borrow bus fare?
4. Honey, I believe he’s talking to you (and let Kelvin tell him option 5)
5. F#$% you!
6. oh well, if you have somewhere to go, the bus station is just over there…
7. oh, you don’t need to wait. You can get into your car and leave. Oh… but you didn’t drive, WE did! That’s riiiiiiight…
