Have you ever mentioned someone well known and the person you're talking to hasn't got a clue who they are?


I once met someone who had no idea who Charles Darwin was.

I once mentioned Genghis Khan and my brother didn't know who he was. We were teenagers at the time, but still.

reply

Did you beat his ass?

reply

I burned down his cities and used his people for arrow fodder.

reply

Naturally. I have a brother too.
And I know - with every fiber of my being - that not knowing Genghis Khan - would have been a rumble in the house of epic proportions.

What's even worse is I once met someone who didn't know who Allaby was! Can you believe it? I thought everyone knew the famous Allaby?

reply

You are MovieChat famous.

reply

Thanks. I don't think I am as famous as Hownos though. He is the real superstar.

reply

Hownos is a Superstar! But you are definitely A list.

reply

Allaby is just being modest
He was a smash hit at Cannes and The Tribeca Film awards just last year...I see a 'Most Awesome Dude In Show Biz' nom in his immediate future👍

I work with a lot of younger people. One guy asked me what that OJ Simpson thing was all about.

reply

Please don’t say he confused him with Homer Simpson.

reply

I know a "geek/nerd" at work who didn't know who Jonas Sulk is. Crazy bullshit from people, thinking Pokemon makes you geek or nerd.

reply

I can relate, I was telling a story about Aboogiecremepoolagiaza Winker and people looked at me like I was insane.

reply

a lot of that can be attributed to general cluelessness / stupidity.

just sayin'.
