Blog of a Dork

  I have to tell you about what may have been the funniest thing that I have ever seen/heard. It was in 4th period, because that’s where we do all the fun stuff. We were put in groups of 2 and had to do these demonstrative speeches (a speech explaining how to do something). Most people did like ‘How to make cookies’ or ‘How to build a bird house’ or something like that. In other words, most of them were lame and borring. The speech that Brittney and I did was ‘How to fight dirty’. It was funny to us and our friends because it contained a few inside jokes but no one else really seemed to get it. Whatever, it was intelligent humor and they’re all dumb. Anyway, this story is not about my speech.

  Two of my friends gave a speech intitled ‘How to make a pirate, for dummies’. One of the guys was John, but his part wasn’t funny because he’s gay. Not politically correct gay, just everyone hates you and wishes you would die gay. (Laughs with anyone who gets that reference.) But Elliot was also in the group. For those of you who don’t know Elliot I will have to describe him so you can get a mental image, which you may need to see the humor in this. Elliot is one of those tall (about 6 feet), lanky guys. He has this shaggy hair that sticks out all over the place. In general, he just looks like a big dork (which he is). He’s one of those kids that is really quiet in class and most people think he’s shy. But if you know him, then you know that he is one of the funniest people ever. But, I digress.

  So imagine this tall, geeky looking guy who you always thought was a shy kid. And he starts pacing back and forth across the room, his hand on his chin with that ‘I’m concretrating’ look on his face. Then he begins to tell you how to make a pirate. Everything: the conception of the pirate, training him, educating him, and getting him a job. When he finishes the speech he stops pacing, turns toward the class, and with a completely straight face and a stern voice he loudly says “Arrggg” and goes back to his seat. Now, I don’t know if you can get the full effect of the humor without being there and actually knowing Elliot, but you should still find this rather ammussing. Or maybe not, I don’t know. But it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen/heard. Christina and I were laughing so hard. I nearly fell out of my chair. I seriously thought something inside of me was going to burst if I did not stop laughing so hard.

  So anyway, that was extreemely funny and I just thought I would share it even though most people probably won’t find it interesting. Of course, afterwards we got into the age old debate of ‘Pirates vs. Ninjas’, but that’s a completely different story. So remember, September 19th is National Talk Like A Pirate Day (Seriously, I couldn’t make that up. Look. It’s true.) Be sure and mark that on your calander (incase it’s not already on there). Now comment you landlubbers or I’ll make you walk the plank. (Joking, I don’t actaully have a plank.) Arrg to you, My Readers!
