Embarrassing Doctor Who moment
Mar. 15th, 2010 02:34 pmQuick aside: Jack the cat came out of hiding after about twelve hours. He's been following me all around the house since then. I never did figure out where he was while I couldn't find him, though. Also, I can't yet share cat pictures because I misplaced my camera, darn it.
The embarrassing Doctor Who moment is:
At ChicagoTARDIS, I bought a keychain that "speaks" six DW-related phrases when you push whichever button. Well, I was standing in line in a department store the other day, and I reached in my pocket for some money. While doing so, I accidentally bumped one of the buttons on the keychain. Out boomed a Cyberman voice: You will be deleted. Delete! Delete! Delete!
You should have seen the expression on the face of the woman standing in front of me. It kind of made the whole thing feel worthwhile.
And at least I didn't push the button that triggers this Dalek voice: You are an enemy of the Daleks! You must be destroyed!

Exterminate!" loud enough to be heard halfway down the street.
And I wonder why that job didn't stick.

"Die Death Knight with ADHD!" All while waiting in line at WalMart.
No one ever told me about this part about being a parent! *Headdesk* I'm just glad that they have stop quoting Gary the Cylon! (on youtube if your interested) I can't look at any funny videos without those two parrots mimicking it with all the energy and vigor that is ADHD without meds (which only happens on the weekend).
I'd gladly trade you for a day!
