Annoying Nerdman & Earl

"Annoying nerdman" walks in for the 20th time this month. He's a nerd of the annoying kind.
I don't mind nerds, in fact some I adore, but some are terribly terribly annoying and give all nerds a bad name.
(Nerdman walks in)
Me-"Hello"
Annoying nerdman-"Do you have Cold Fear for Xbox?"
Me-(checking computer inventory) "yes"
(moment passes)
Annoying nerdman-(holding said game) "is this game any good?"
Me-"I don't know"
Annoying nerdman- "Have you played it?"
Me-"No"
Annoying nerdman-"Oh"
And then he bought the damn thing.

I expect Annoying nerdman to come in no later than the end of next week, or this weekend, to have the same conversation with me about another game, and how he beat the last one.
Which game will he ask me if I ever played before? No idea, but I hope that it makes the upcoming Super-fun Saturday post a bit more exciting than the last one.

See the post below this for my "Theory on modern video games"

Moving on to Earl.
Earl called this morning to ask about a CD he had ordered. He was called about it (by my coworker) last evening, but apparently could not understand the message, and I suspect it may be because he's a stroke victim. (it's a guess, but he talked real funny like with a rural farmer Southwestern Ontario-like accent, which can sound like a stroke victim sometimes)
Earl did not know which CD it was, (understandalbe, okay) so I try to look up this CD by customer name, which is always an option.
Me-"Nope, no Earl"
Earl-"Well then what the..." etc etc
And Me-"Okay let me go through this pile of CD's that other people ordered..."
(And there it is! A Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CD, and the customer name is Erle.)
Me-"Oh yes here it is, I couldn't find it because Earl is spelled wrong"
Earl-"My name is spelled Erle" (I'm thinking Brad Pitt in Kalifornia)
Me-"Oh, okay, well, your..."
Earl-"Which CD is it? ...Mannheim Steamroller has a lot of CD's"
Me-"Christmas"
Earl-"Which Christmas"
Me-"It's just called Christmas"
Earl-"Alright I'll think about it"
click.
(Today I learned that Earl can also be spelled "Erle")
This dickhead requested that this Mannheim Steamroller CD be ordered. He did it from this store, he has been here before.
Yet he, at one point, had to ask where the store is located.
Remember, I never said he is a stroke victim, it's just speculation.

Well it looks like the crazies are shaping up to go out for Christmas Shopping. woot
