Text of an email from one of my awesome roommates, sent yesterday afternoon:

Subj: I'm eating in the law school

and right next to me are a couple of profs who are talking in COMPLETE MYSTIFICATION about one guy's daughter. I quote:

"She gave me this big compliment, she called me 'Dad-tor'. No, it's-- I guess it's the NEW Doctor Who? She's a complete devotee."

"I've never heard of it, but apparently there's this thing called... Tumblr? And she has all these friends? I've looked at it once or twice, and now I understand why my daughter never goes to bed on time."

"She follows this show called Supernatural. There's all this stuff on it that makes NO SENSE to me."

"Prof A: She uses this thing called Soundstage to make things with her friend.
Prof B: So she's never actually met this friend?
Prof A: Yeah, it's pretty wild."

"This new BBC show called 'Sherlock'. It's some kind of parody of Sherlock Holmes, I guess?"

I'm trying really hard not to laugh at them because that would be rude.

It's like hearing Grampa Simpson have a conversation with himself...

"I've never heard of it, but apparently there's this thing called... Tumblr? And she has all these friends? I've looked at it once or twice, and now I understand why my daughter never goes to bed on time."

It would be impossible to improve this in any way.

This post is gold. I would watch and entire TV show that was just these dads being baffled by their daughters' fannishness.

In a very meta moment, I ended up reading this while once again eating lunch in the law school cafeteria. Dear law school profs: you have now made me giggle into my turkey sandwich two days in a row. Truly you bring happiness to all around you.

I think I'm going to use that explanation for Sherlock from now on. It's more accurate than most of the others I've seen! :D
