The obvious way to start this off is to define “Wrunching”.
Wrunching: The act of creating words for oddly specific things. For example: Wrunching.
Pickirking: Arguing over a very nerdy topic, such as Light Side vs. Dark Side, Windows vs. Linux, or for what the word is named after, Captain Picard vs. Captain Kirk.
Squeeg: Half slapping, half pushing. Kind of like an awkward face-shove. It's weird to do, and be done to.
Scumblessant: When something is cute, yet very creepy. Like this, for instance:
You know what? There's no cute there. That's just all creepy.
There have been many more, but our rule is, if we can't remember it, it really doesn't deserve to be remembered. (Important Birthdays and Anniversaries are excluded from this rule)
2. We love us some Misdirection.
I think this one speaks for itself, and is what we use the most to mess with people. We just love to have people think that they know what we're going to say, and then say something completely different. That might not sound too weird, but the thing is, the two of us can usually guess what the other is going to use for his misdirection. That's because...
3. We have the weirdest inside jokes ever.
Once in a while, you might catch Sam and I recite a list of random quotes that come from nowhere. They are in a very specific order, and with voices and everything. These are things that we've said over the years that were “List Worthy”, and therefore, were added to the list. I won't put the list here, mainly because it would be weird to have it in written form, cause that kind of defeats the entire purpose. The whole idea is to do it from memory, and, once again, if we can't remember one, then it doesn't deserve to be remembered.
What I CAN let you in on, is the literal cast of very specific characters we've thought of over the years, and some general descriptions of them. Again, we have the weirdest inside jokes ever.
Cheats McGee- Cheats is our homage to the creepy father. And creeps in general. He wears two pair of sunglasses because the first pair isn't dark enough, he has his hair in spikey braids, he always wears a leather vest, and he doesn't believe in plurals. The latter makes Cheats' name something of a paradox.
The Stounch- The Stounch is Cheats' wife, and is that woman who wears denim dresses with white sneakers, and waits at the side of trash cans in fast food restaurants and creepily asks for people's leftovers.
Hayley McGee- Typical teenage girl, but whose vowels are always switched with “uh”. So, instead of “Hayley McGee”, it's “Huhluh McGuh”.
Randy McGee- Our personal favorite, because Randy is the embodiment of every nerdy eight-year-old, and therefore, is the embodiment of us. He's the kid who wears winter gloves at all times because he thinks they look cool, gym shorts, sandals with socks, floppy hats, a consistent Kool-Aid stain over his lips, and his favorite Star Wars character is Jar Jar Binks.
Chief Awesome- A man who asks no questions. He demands, and he decrees. In actuality, he's just Ned from accounting, but he bought an Indian Headdress over the internet. He makes everyone call him Chief Awesome now. He's literally a guy in an work clothes, with an Indian Headdress on.
Donny the Impulse Buyer- If you're selling it, he's probably thinking about buying it. His family and friends are actually withholding telling him what eBay is.
Gary the Subtly Racist Salesman- “I see you have an African American family living next door. That's nice. By the way, I'm Gary and I sell security systems.”
Hash- Hash is the pothead best friend that everyone should have. He's a white guy with dreadlocks, cargo shorts, a grossly comfortable hoodie, and he always seems to be sipping the last bit of a Mountain Dew Baja Blast, therefore making that annoying slurping noise constantly. If you're having a bad day, he will offer to “Hash it out” and go in for a man hug. The conclusion to this embrace is usually him asking for weed money.
4. We do not understand most of your references, and you will not understand ANY of ours.
Sam and I grew up in a house that had minimal cinematic entertainment. That is, we had about eight movies, and a lot of them were taped over near the end by “Loony Toons” episodes, and that one special about honey bees. So, we watched these movies over and over, to the point of being able to recite them from memory.
We've since forgotten how to do this, but what's interesting are the things we chose to remember. For example, Sam will randomly point to me at any time and say something like, “Sliced Pineapple”, and I will say in a heartbeat, “The Black Stallion”. Because for about three seconds in the film, there was a ham on the dinner table with sliced pineapple on it. I don't even remember the name of the kid in that movie. But I remember sliced pineapple. It's the same for Sam. I'll say “Pea Soup”, and he'll say “Rescuers Down Under” instantly. Because there was Pea Soup for like, five seconds in the movie! I haven't even seen the first one! That's how random our movie selection was!
So, because we had such a limited selection, we probably haven't seen your definition of “Classic Movies”. I still haven't seen most of the Disney classics, for example, Pocahontas, The Little Mermaid, Lady and the Tramp, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and many many more. And I don't plan to.
But when we grew up slightly, we started watching nothing but The Simpsons, to the point of knowing which episode it was by what Bart wrote on the chalkboard in the intro music. Usually. We also watched a lot of, by which I mean all of, Homestar Runner, and the two of them kinda morphed into this weird hybrid humor, where we could have entire conversations using nothing but quotes from those two things. I mean, it's not like they didn't give us enough to work with.
There is of course, much more to Sam and I's humor, and there will most likely be additions to this guide, as our humor grows more and more the longer we spend time together. Who knows, Sam has been talking about writing a guest post. This seems to be the perfect topic for it. I'll let him introduce “The Lost Quote” for you guys. It's a pretty big thing.
