Freaking the non-mundanes!

For those who may not know, people in the science fiction convention community had something known as freaking the mundanes. Basically it was an attempt to weird out normal people who are not familiar with the weirdness of science fiction conventions. It could be blatant or subtle, I would naturally prefer the latter.

Well, I got to freak out a co-worker last Wednesday!

School was closed Monday (New Year's Day), Tuesday came and Jim was out for jury duty, Bernie wasn't feeling well so he went home early, so it was just me and my boss, Dave. We got a few things done, nothing major.

So Wednesday comes. Bernie's working on a computer when I arrive. A little later Dave walks in and says "There's my little Wayneikins!" Bernie looks up in surprise. Dave continues "It was just the two of us, alone, all day yesterday." I piped in with "It was a very touching day."

Bernie just gets this blank look of utter astonishment. Dave and I just bust up laughing.


I chuckle thinking about it!
