TM #270 - Thirteen

[nerdherdchuck]

I don't really believe in the unlucky thirteen thing. If I did, I would have changed my user name. It has thirteen characters in it.

I could have put an underscore in there somewhere. Maybe I would have put it between 'nerdherd' and 'chuck' or something. Or, I could have added two underscores to make myself 'nerd_herd_chuck.'

I did a look up and no one has 'nerdherd_chuck' or 'nerd_herd_chuck' as user names on LiveJournal. But you never know. Someone could take either or both of them in the next couple of minutes...even before I'm done typing this entry. I'm sure there are other people named Chuck who work for other Nerd Herds at other Buy Mores. Maybe a couple of those Chucks will claim those user names eventually.

Hey, I just thought of something - if I were really, really superstitious, I would have gone one step further and added another letter or two so that nothing about my user name has thirteen of anything. I could have used something like 'nerdherderchuck' as my user name or something.

[meta] *looks up that user name*

Wow, there's another me with that user name. Go figure. [/meta]

But yeah, I'm not bothered by the thirteen thing. And I'll keep my user name as is for now.

I don't think thirteen is unlucky either. Numbers are just numbers.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

*nods* Yeah.

I wonder why 'thirteen' was chosen as unlucky number anyway.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

I think it's because Judas was the thirteenth person at the Last Supper.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

*ponders* Maybe. If so, that makes sense.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if it's true, but I know I've heard it before and it seems pretty reasonable.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

It does. And it's probably why it goes way back to think thirteen is an unlucky number.

[criminal-issues.livejournal.com]

Another Chuck would be...interesting. But I like you-Chuck!

[ooc: Oh my frakking God. Another Chuck at another BuyMore would be HI-larious]

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Well...my name isn't uncommon. I've met other Chucks. Even a girl Chuck.

ooc: Oh? Now I'm curious what you're picturing...AU Chuck or like a totally different Buy More employee. :)

[criminal-issues.livejournal.com]

Girl-Chuck? How about Woodchuck? Did he Chuck wood?

ooc: No, just another Chuck in that world. A guy named Chuck who worked at a BuyMore. Regular guy.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Her name's Charlotte Charles but she goes by 'Chuck' too.

And...no...haven't met a woodchuck yet.

ooc: Ah, okay. Well, it's possible. I mean, if Buy More is supposed to be Best Buy-ish there's probably several other stores out there. :)

[criminal-issues.livejournal.com]

Guess that makes sense.

I wonder what a woodchuck would say...Well, I'm in a weird mood.

ooc: Totally possible! I'm just amused at the possibility is all. I...don't know why.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I guess.

You...sorta are. But that's okay. I guess it depends on what a woodchuck would wanna talk about.

ooc: It's all good. :)

[criminal-issues.livejournal.com]

I'm confused.

Possibly wood?

ooc: :D I seriously find this way too amusing.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Confused by what?

Yeah, probably. And aren't groundhogs and woodchucks the same thing? Cuz maybe they'd ask why the one in Punxsutawney is so famous.

ooc: :D

[criminal-issues.livejournal.com]

What?

Or, maybe they hold secret assassination meetings because the jealousy is too great!

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Maybe that happens too. I guess we'll never know unless someone like Dr. Dolittle asked them. *grins*

[criminal-issues.livejournal.com]

Call that other guy who's probably dead because I will never accept Eddie Murphy's sub-par adaptation!

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Rex Harrison? Yeah, he's dead, unfortunately.

I think they went a bit crazy with those Eddie Murphy versions.

[criminal-issues.livejournal.com]

How many were there?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, but I remember one day at the Buy More they were showing a sequel where his daughter had the same ability as him. It was some adventure with her saving rainforest animals or something.

It was pretty dumb, at least the parts of it I saw.

[criminal-issues.livejournal.com]

It sounds way dumb. Way, way dumb. Sad sad sequel.

ooc: I'm not crazy, I swear!

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, totally. I was so glad when Morgan put in 'The Empire Strikes Back' when it was done.

ooc: *g* I giggled when I saw the 'other' Chuck friend mine. I'm curious what you're gonna do. Viva Buy Moria! ;)

[criminal-issues.livejournal.com]

HAHA Much better.

ooc: Well, he'll definitely be around and he'll prompt. He works at the Las Vegas Buy More!

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Exponentially better!

ooc: Cool. :D

[ineed-therush.livejournal.com]

Nerdherder? Would you be herding sheep? Or cats?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Neither. Though I guess a 'herder' would kinda round up things. I just thought of adding the 'er' part to be like 'herder' as in one of the herd or something.

And you have to know what the Nerd Herd is after living with me as long as you have.

[ineed-therush.livejournal.com]

Still sounds like you're doing the herding.

Of course I know what they are. I was questioning the 're'...the 'er.'

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

You're right. It does.

Oh, okay.

[ineed-therush.livejournal.com]

It does and that's why I mentioned sheep or cats. Although, would herding cats be, like, endangering them? Would it be bad? I don't want to hurt the cats I'm herding - not that I'm a cat herder.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah but...who herds cats except in commercials? And you wouldn't have to hurt them, just kinda...ride around so they go where you want 'em to go.

[ineed-therush.livejournal.com]

What am I riding around?...Cats are herded on commercials? Who? Where? What? Are they advertising cat herding now?

...Have I missed something?

Why am I riding around?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

You'd be riding a horse.

Wait...you don't remember that ad? It was from a couple of years ago.

I found a video of it on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk7yqlTMvp8

[ineed-therush.livejournal.com]

Oh.

...No?


Oh. Dude. Hahahahaha.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

It was kinda funny.
