If you knew me in real life, you'd understand. Once I get into a joke, I become truly dedicated to it. I mean seriously, I have really made awkward moments in large crowds before, gotten some pretty big trouble, etc. All cause when I say I'm dedicated to something(even as trivial as a joke)I mean it.
And no, sorry, I still don't remember that person. Although for some reason I came up with HAL 9000, so let's stick with him.
HAL 9000 WILL DOMINATE YOU ALL WITH REALLY BAD TIMING!
