I've realized how truly terrible I am at comebacks. Or really just any kind of clever planned out line. If I happen to say something funny, 98.42% of the time it's unplanned. Completely spontaneous.
It's pretty pathetic. During those times where a clever comeback is absolutely necessary I usually resort to something like this: "Yeah, we'll you're, uh... Uh... MYAH!"
I know it makes no sense. I suppose that's the point. Then again, there really is no point. It's just my frenzied brain trying to think of something witty without totally herping. Which fails, of course. Miserably I might add.
Most often, after one of these meetings occur, and I am left outwitted, I simply can't leave things alone. I seem to not be able to accept that I was out-witted, and sometimes lie awake in my bed trying to think of some one-liner that could REALLY crush 'em. (I know. I'm a great person) Sometimes a clever line does in fact pop into my head at around midnight, but by the next time I see the person who out-witted me in the first place, it becomes quite the moot point. If I pursued the matter anymore, my herp factor would shoot up like eighty percent. Though the fact that I spend so much time thinking about these things is probably proof enough that I have quite enough herp for the average non-lizard.
I do quite enjoy your reference to Herpetology. :)
ReplyDeleteI think that the best thing to do in that situation is to shout at the person "HEY! Remember that conversation we were having? Well try this line on for size!" And that's when you forget what you were going to say.
Speaking of Myah!, Asia and I discovered an enemy in The Wind Waker that makes that noise perfectly, and we laughed for a good ten minutes about that and thought of you. :P
Haha, I'm glad you caught that. :)
DeleteYES. That definitely sounds like something I would do. And should do. Afraid my herpiness would shoot up like a billion points though. XD
I must see this creature! >:O
Hahaha I do that all the time! I'm glad I'm not the only one. Also, the worst is when your reliving a conversation that went badly over and over again. I do that too. It definitely adds to my personal Herpfactor. ^.^'
ReplyDeleteI thought you might know what I meant!! (How about that, huh?)
DeleteOh yeah, I hate that. :/ So annoying.
Herp buddies!
