I met some of Joss Whedon's cousins today. I had a willcall ticket with the name Whedon on it, and I thought to myself, I have to ask just because.
So they arrive and I say, "This may sound weird, but do you have a cousin named Joss famous director?" The lady freaks out in a good way,
"Really you've heard of him?" her kid inquires as to why she's so excited,
"Because no on ever asks that! Yes he's our cousin."
"Wow, I love all of his stuff, enjoy Polar Express."
It was pretty exciting. I had a few notable good customers, and a lot of notably shitty illiterate assholes.
I had one guy who didn't have tickets in the box that we were getting for him say to his wife, "Now we can't beat him up yet." What the fuck? I love how you're sending the message to your children, if you don't have something your supposed to have, instead of being a rational human being threaten violence! Fucker.
Due to recent office obsessions with Glen Danzig, we decided to all chip in twenty five american dollars and buy a memorial plaque that we put into the cement on our grounds. We're going to have it read,
"In memorium of Glen Danzig 19(whatever his birthday is) to October 31st, 2012." Then we'll send him a picture of it.
All my final Christmas shopping takes place this Thursday, I'm almost positive it will suck.
Return of the King Extended Edition rocks. On Christmas day, Arnel and I will watch all three back to back.
