While I'm still here.... the persistence of inside jokes
(I know, I know)
It's kinda bad, but sometimes all we gotta do, Stu and I, is make a short phrase or a gesture, and we know... and can crack up the other one. No, I'm not going to give away all our inside jokes, and some are so involved, I'm not sure I can keep it together to explain....
....and the whole point is that inside jokes are shared just between a very small circle. And can't get much smaller than just Stu & me.
[which reminds me, once Stu mentioned one of those hypotheticals of needing to say a single word in the case of the pod people coming in to indicate you were not an imposter, and he challenged me to do it with a single word.... and I absolutely could do it and we died laughing. And again, I'm not going to explain.]
Most of these jokes started out as a single incident, of course, that meant very little at the time, and then the other brought it up again (or the original instigator remembered it, and brought it up again), and sometimes... it gets added to.
So I told Stu, that what with technology and all, I could imagine that 100 years from now, we'd still be sitting on a couch, and all I'd have to do is lift a finger and look at him, and he'd laugh.
I am actually sitting on the couch next to Stu, w/ tears in my eyes, because we're watching Japanese movies and cracking jokes. Just finished watching Gojira (the original 1954 Godzilla, subtitled, in black & white) and now watching a different one with Godzilla, Rodan, and Ghidorah in it, which is dubbed in color and is much campier. The original Gojira is really grim, but this one... is kinda goofy.
