I'm sure that I'll come up with something, but that won't be it, and I didn't know it. In other words, I don't think it's embarrassing to not know that.

I think it comes from the angle that I assumed he was black.

I'd need some help from racist remark judgement board, but I don't think you were making a bad assumption.

up until about 3 years ago I thought that the Lord of the Rings stuff and the Harry Potter stuff was the same thing.

ya know.. "Lord of the Rings and The Sword of Harry Potter".. something like that. I wasn't embarrassed by it.. just totally out of the loop.

I bet you'd be surprised to find out they were written about 40-50 years apart, too.

I think that was part of the information that led me to believe that they weren't related.

Being a great EL resident, I might have thought Bilbo's would have tipped you off, since it existed before the Harry Potter. Although I'm not sure when you were in EL.

that's a good point. I have been in EL since 1995, so there were a couple of years, I think, that Bilbo's had the fortune of my company.

though I don't think I would've put that together. If you don't know that Bilbo's is a reference to something, you're not going to get it. I suppose Lord of the Rings influenced some Led Zeppelin stuff? Maybe Led Zeppelin IV, mostly?

I used to think Led Zeppelin IV was just pretty trippy.. never knew it was an ode to a book (if it, indeed, is).

Now I've learned something new! I'm not really embarrassed, but I don't get a lot of pop culture references. Also, my last reply prior to this came off a little snarky, sorry about that.

So, I honestly did not know the definition of narcissism until a few weeks ago. It made me wonder if I was one, so I took an online test, and I'm pretty sure I'm not... unless I am a narcissist and can't imagine myself failing the test.

You've talked about yourself quite a bit in this post, so I think you're a narcissist.

yes.. you'd better apologize - as you know, I have a strong moral opposition to snark. Wink

there is a word, and I can't remember it right now, but up until like 2 years ago I didn't know it had a t in it. I'll post it here when I remember it.

It's like you fuckers are reading my mind. I've driven in a lot of rental cars and I had no idea that arrow was there until my wife told me (twice) a couple of years ago.

I don't know what POTUS is. I hear the term on the radio from time to time and just saw it in a Loose post. I assume it is something political and probably refers to the president? No idea and don't really care.

I've always had good gas cap awareness, but knowing this might have saved some embarrassment once or twice in 40 years of driving.
