Harry Who?

I just wanted to post that I’m very proud to not have ever read one word of, nor seen one minute of, any Harry Potter story, and I’m OK with that. Very content, as a matter of fact, thankyouverymuch. This cultural phenomenon just goes right over my head, sorry.

Ya know, it’s kinda funny in that odd-feeling in your stomach kinda funny, not HAHA/HOHO/HEHE/ROFL/LMFAO/LOL kinda funny… but walking out of the movie theater a couple of weeks ago after going to see Ratatouille with my wife and son, I saw “Potter” above one of the other theater doorways, and a long line of people stretched out from it. The first thought to come to my mind was to blurt out, “Oh, look, they made a movie about Jason Potter!” Then I realized what it was and I was suddenly very sad and embarrassed. Fuck you, Harry Potter. Fuck you.

Too funny. Jason Potter just had a baby girl named Cori Potter. It was born on the same day the new Harry Potter book came out. My understanding is that the nurses loved this coincidence and kept making jokes about it.

Anyway, I bet Jason freakin’ HATES Harry Potter at this point!

Yeah, man. Nurses love this crap! Every time I go to the doctor’s office or anything they always say something real witty like, “Is your brother Harry?” Huh huh…gug. My wife Kelly, however, just so happens to be real into it as well. But even she thinks the jokes are dumb. At the delivery this one nurse said something like, “Are you gonna name her Lily” (I guess that’s one of the characters) and I thought Kelly was gonna rip her face off. I’m with you Kopper, Harry can go fuck himself.
