Of Meerkats and Ferrets

May 24, 2008

Actual conversation over drinks with coworkers/friends about reality shows:

Him: She loves that show about rodents…

Me: They are not rodents, they are meerkats!

Wife of coworker: Ah Meerkat Manor.

Him: Anyway the writers make up these elaborate, drama-filled back stories for these ferrets…

Me: They are not ferrets!!

Him: And Sean Astin is the narrator…

Me: He doesn’t know what he’s talking about…

Him: I’m certainly not going to believe a hobbit!

Me: I am not a hobbit!

Him: (laughing) Not you – Sean Astin!

Wife of coworker: Ohmigawd, that’s funny! You’re a hobbit!
