That's Really *&@%ing Weird
So I am starting a regular installment today called "That's Really %^&!ing Weird". It is a document of something weird or bizarre that I either heard or has happened to me.
So I recently got around to gaming in the 21st century by creating an XBox Live account, so I am able to do XBox related things on the internet. And after I created a profile, there was a little message on the bottom of the screen saying, "ELECTABLE WHALE 8 IS SIGNING IN".
I was thinking, "That's odd. Who is Electable Whale 8 and why is he signing in? Is he an administration friend that is requesting me to befriend him online? "
And that is when it struck me: "I am Electable Whale 8!!" This is weird for a number of reasons. One, it XBox never asked me to create my own screen name. And, also....Electable Whale?!?! What is that?! When I imagine an electable whale, I think of this....
What is that!? Why did XBox think that it was a logical screen name?! Did they think, "Eric Lee...that sounds kinda like Electable Whale when you slur it!! Brilliant!"
Being given the name Electable Whale 8 is odd. But, not even know I was the Electable Whale 8 until I was playing a game? That's really &^$!ing weird.
