longest joke #1: since the seventh grade, my friend kim and i have been calling each other "sven" and "vendi". she's "sven" and i'm "vendi". the story originated with my friend michelle having this pen pal who always used to write these incredibly unbelievable stories to her. so one day we sat down and wrote a fictional story about two new exchange students michelle was hosting at her house named sven and vendi (which wasn't TOO far fetched since michelle's family really did host a series of exchange students but they were usually just "regular" ones from france and the philippines). thus, you have the birth of sven and vendi, swedish cousins (cousins!) we even gave ourselves an uncle named wolf blizter.
jeez, cut me a break, i was 13.
so, we still call each other that. one time i wrote a check to her and had to tear it up twice because I wrote "sven" on it. i don't even think my friend julie, who met sven a few years ago, even knows her real name is kim.
longest joke #2: this joke has been going on in my office for a whole year with a co-worker of mine. his name is mike. during halloween 2001, we decorated a conference room for a halloween party and ended up writing quotes from "silence of the lambs" on the dry erase boards. we also talked a lot about how much we like that movie and how horrible "hannibal" was and how it was too bad that julianne moore was forced to act like jodie foster going so far as to clench her teeth and repeatedly whisper "dr. lecter, dr. lecter". kee-rist.
anywho, we took to calling each other "clarice". and sneaking up on one another and saying "i'm having an old friend for dinner" and crap like that. basically, we haven't stopped. lately, whenever someone will say "mike" it takes me a second to realize they're talking about "clarice". it's part fun and part sickness.
jeez, cut me a break, I'm 28.
