Conversations with a geek girl
My coworker, Chris, stopped by my office tonight to show off his new phone and its awesome camera. He was flipping through a half-dozen photos of his cats -- hey, he's a bachelor -- when he came across a pic of my Joe's great-aunt, who's named Strange.
Chris: "This one's Strange."
Me: "She's strange?"
Chris: "No, her name is Strange."
Me: "Oh."
(My mental lightbulb goes off.)
Me: "You named her after a quark?! That's so cool!"
(... long pause ...)
Chris: "Huh?"
Me: "Up, down, top, bottom, charm, strange?"
Chris: "Oh, a quark. ... No, actually, it's kind of a sexual reference."
Me: "Uh, yeah. That was my second guess."

you know, i thought our cat's had "quarky" (lol, did you see what i did there?) - but named after a sexual reference, thats not charming, thats just weird.
I'm not sure if he's trying to say that he's having sex with his cat or what, but wow.
