Have you ever had a moment where you completely missed a joke, misunderstood a situation, etc., and it was brought to your attention just how wrong you were? This occasionally happens to me, and my wife is so kind to humor me and gently introduce me to reality. I take it in stride, and it's happened enough times I've come up with my own humorous response to it: "I r pretty!"
The timing of this post is especially ironic, since I saved this as a draft a day before @raymondspeaks in the #Mancave Discord said this about faceless people on the internet:
I'd agree that he's probably not wrong in his assessment. Personally, I prefer to stay as "anonymous" as possible. While I highly doubt I'll gain any sort of notoriety outside of Hive, I like the idea of people not being able to pick me out of a crowd or recognize me if they bumped into me somewhere.
My Inspiration
I got the inspiration for the phrase from a cartoon I watched on Cartoon Network as a kid, titled "I Am Weasel." Per Wikipedia, "The series centers on I.M. Weasel (voiced by Michael Dorn), a smart, noble, and successful weasel, I.R. Baboon (voiced by Charlie Adler), an unintelligent and rude baboon who is envious of Weasel and acts as both his rival and friend." (Source)
Taking inspiration from this show, my catchphrase jokingly implies I'm not smart, but my wife snagged herself a "trophy husband."馃槅
Sometimes, I have a tendency to take things too seriously, and it's a lot easier to make light of the situation rather than be upset that I was wrong about something that likely won't even matter tomorrow. In that spirit, to close out this post, and also show Ray the real me, here I am in all my glory:
