Thanks to Greg Ritter and Jon Bodner for making Wikipedia just _that_ much more entertaining today.

FTW, this lasted less than a minute.
So there we were, sitting at our new favorite restaurant (A Côté, in Rockridge, FTW), having a nice discussion about FSM-knows-what, when a couple is seated next to us.
Mind you, this isn't _actually_ a couple, its a woman and a man who seem to be friends. The woman is, well, of a food-friendly persuasion, and the man is, well, of a man-friendly persuasion, and we're going to move on from the euphemisms at this point, in that its not entirely relevant who the couple are, or what they look like, although the rest of the story is funnier if you can picture them.
Anyway, I have to start listening to E with only one ear because I hear the magic words "Joss Whedon" and some descriptive text about Firefly, only to realize that he's describing how he never followed the series because really, spaceships and westerns?
OK, tune out, back to our conversation, only to pick up that he went out and rented Serenity. Why, you might ask, would he rent Serenity after dissing Firefly?
Well, the answer wasn't forthcoming, so I tuned back out. And yet, somehow, somewhere, in the back of my head, I pieced together the following, and couldn't tell E for almost an hour until they left: that's right, he rented Serenity because he was attending a FIREFLY THEMED WEDDING (could you call this a Coswedding?)
And best of all, it seems like he was upset at having to dress up for the wedding.
Gotta love these people ...
