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.

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

Oh.

...No?


Oh. Dude. Hahahahaha.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

It was kinda funny.
