Today, my boyfriend still won't talk to me, after I caused him the "worst embarrassment" of his life in front of his friends. What did I do wrong? I joined their conversation and ended up confusing the fictional characters of Gollum and Yoda with one another. FML

Not strong is the force in you, my precious.

Maybe you shouldn't join conversations if you don't know what they're talking about.

How could he not get pissed at you, n00b

If you know so little about Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, why on earth would you butt in on a conversation about them?

Your boyfriend obviously takes a strong interest in LOTR and Star Wars--excellent choices of interest, by the way. If you care about him, you should have at least tried to learn more about the subjects. Even if you don't like them, though I don't see how anyone could, just the fact that you tried to learn about them and take an interest is meaningful enough. If you see him with his friends in open conversation about such subjects, don't just jump right in and pretend to know what they're talking about. Ask them questions about it. Ask them how Smeagol turned into Gollum, or how The Great Jedi Purge began. As a fellow nerd, we are all happy to share our knowledge of the things we love.

Why does he expect you to know that....although you should Lotr and Star wars are so different. Especially since one was evil and the other wasn't....I don't even watch those and ik this lol. But he'll get over it, they're just movie characters.

You should know your shit when you're dating someone who watches those movies.. Just saying.

Your boyfriend is stupid. After that, I wouldn't let you call me your boyfriend!

234 - No worries, know what that's like. I meant no offense with my comment, just some tongue-in-cheek razzing. Your comment did get me thinking when you posted it of Yoda and Dooku battling it out while a bunch of cloned Genoa Salami alien soldiers get mowed down by giant circular-saw-armed droids. The poor Genoa Salami-people cut sliced up ad served in tasty sandwiches to Darth Sidious as he sheds a single sad-Keanu tear over the loss of Darth Maul. And that's when I was like... "Dood, WtF?! It's 3am and I'm laying on my bed." :P
