Conversation

Scene: Watergirl and PB are driving to see a band at a bar downtown and are having one of their typically random conversations, this one about power.

PB: Well, I mean, when you look at it, how many people actually died at Three Mile Island?
WG: None. In fact, most people were exposed to less radiation than they would have gotten from an X-Ray.*
PB: And yet people have problems with "nucular" energy.
WG: Right. Wait, did you just say "nucular"?
PB: Confused look
WG: Please tell me you said that ironically.
PB: Still confused
WG: Because you sound like George W. Bush
PB: No idea what she's talking about
WG: The word is nu-cle-ar. If I lost points for liking NASCAR, you lose points for that.
PB: That's different. NASCAR is redneck. That's just an accent.
WG: It's not an accent. It's a mispronunciation of a word.

Well, I don't have a problem with NASCAR. I used to watch fairly regularly, but now I don't. It's not like I'm a huge fan- the conversation in which it came up happened when I saw that Tony Stewart* was leading the points race. Which, I would have known were I paying attention. *HATE
