i was in JB HI-FI when i overheard the following conversation between 2 guys, probably about 16 yr old or around that age... anyways, we were in the BOX SET section when i heard them exchange the following dialogue.

guy1 - nah, i wouldn't get them. you already have x-men 1.5 & x-men 2 don't you?

guy2 - yeh. but, i want all three of them in the box collection.

guy1 - oh, i know what you mean. but, when you get home... and you have these 3 movies, are you going to have them sitting in the single disc shelves with the spins out? or, are you going to put them on your box set shelves...

this is when i was shocked. not only does he have allocated sections for single disc & box set editions, but he has more than 1 space. i continued to listen.

guy2 - well, i mean, my box set section is getting pretty big. maybe i can sell the other ones? and then just keep these...

guy1 - hang on... does set have x-men 1.5 or does it just have x-men 1?this is when i was shocked again. these kids were awesome. i wanted to go up and talk to them. i was too scared as their knowledge seemed superior to mine.

guy2 - oh, hang on. i can't remember which version i have at home.that's pretty much all that took place. but, i thought it was pretty hilarious. man, the nerds are great. soooo entertaining.

another conversation took place on the frankston line.

girl1 - wow. you have lost so much weight. i can't believe it.

girl2 - yeh i know huh? well, i was on drugs for the past 2 weeks so i reckon that probably had something to do with it.

girl1 - well, still... you look hot.

i had to turn away before i started to laugh. they were f-ugly.
