Last month, when Danielle and I went car shopping for a “family tank,” we were watching a lot of Battlestar Galactica. So, when it came time to name the new ride, Danielle suggested the Raptor. (For anyone not familiar with the show, (a) Shame on you, and (b) here’s Wikipedia’s Raptor page.)
As if that weren’t bad enough, when we purchased a new stroller, I coined it the Viper.
So, who’s the bigger dork? Danielle for coming up with the Raptor in the first place, or me for thinking it’s cool?
And, yes, we refer to our house as the Battlestar.

That actually kicks ass. We just finished watching Season 3–took about 2 weeks, but that’s only because I’m busy taking a class.
Neither one of you is a dork. Danielle is not a dork because she came up with a clever name, and though I’d call you a dork for the fun of it, you are not a dork because you had the good sense to agree with your wife.

See, I was going to vote for you, Tom. Because you should know better. I mean, it is quite the toss up - who’s the bigger dork is like asking which one is dumb and which one is dumber (in the movie Dumb& Dumber). See, thats an analogy between dork and dorkier (real life) and Dumb& Dumber (a movie). I wasn’t calling you dumb. If you haven’t seem Dumb&Dumber in a while, I refer you to the above paragraph 1 parenthetical sub a. Sigh. I’m just saying, it’s a wash. A wash for which I might now be in the mix.
