(It's Dave, by the way)

  • Me: What's the name of the Ed Harris character in Glengarry Glen Ross?
  • Mrs: I don't remember. Why?
  • Me: I just realized. That's who [a punkass blogger I know] is.
  • Me: He's all, "Aww, fuck you! Fuck the lot of you!"
  • Me: And I'm Ricky Roma. I made the sales, I'm getting the Cadillac.
  • Mrs: You sure you want to describe yourself as Ricky Roma?
  • Mrs: He's a con artist. He gets the Caddy by ripping people off.
  • Me: Yes, but he's good at it, and the Ed Harris character is a crybaby loser.
  • Me: And that's exactly the relationship between me and [that other guy].
  • Me: This analogy only applies within the narrowly defined worldview of the text, of course.
