The below is a Gchat conversation that I had with my big brother, ‘Lock. The names have not been changed to acknowledge the hilarious.
‘Lock: I went to my new comic shop yesterday and decided I need another one
Ross Hero: oh yeah?
Ross Hero: what’s wrong with it?
‘Lock: My pull list for the week was incomplete
‘Lock: I had a list of the new comics that came out this week
‘Lock: I told him three issues were missing
‘Lock: he then says to me
‘Lock: “You know comics come out every Wednesday, not just today.”
‘Lock: I said,
‘Lock: You DID NOT just say that to me.
‘Lock: I said
‘Lock: I’m 38 years old and have been reading comics since high school
Ross Hero: what a prick
‘Lock: That place is in Old Town and I’m sure he’s used to talking to tourists
‘Lock: still
‘Lock: they left comics off my fucking pull list!
‘Lock: Never irritate a nerd.
‘Lock: Bad things happen.
‘Lock: So I’m switching to Victory Comics in Falls Church
‘Lock: Gonna check it out Saturday.
‘Lock: Dude named Rambo told me to stop by.
‘Lock: How can I resist.
Ross Hero: John Rambo?
‘Lock: Lone Wolf.
Ross Hero: they drew first blood…
Ross Hero: you should go into the old comic book like this:
‘Lock: Already called and said
‘Lock: I’m coming for you.
‘Lock: then I said
‘Lock: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
‘Lock: and made gun noises with my mouth.
Well, what do you think? Is there any other choice a nerd has when his comic peddler disrespects them?
