A few weeks ago, I had a nice conversation with a friend of mine about egg nog and how much we like it. We discussed how great it tastes and how great the texture is and how great egg nog ice cream can often be. Just generally the greatness of nog.
A few days later as I was preparing for a show, not particularly thinking about this random conversation, I get a text message saying:
"Good luck, fellow nogger!"
My heart leapt in my throat as I checked and re-checked the last word of the text message, making sure it did not say what I had thought it said on first read. Then finally, slowly, I remembered the conversation.
I'm glad my friends aren't racist.

Part of me thinks the statement might actually be funnier with the actual n-word. Connotation aside (way, way aside), it must be quite rare to see that epithet employed in such a jovial context.
It's like "Bon voyage, fellow traveller!" but ignorant rather than than heartwarming.

Matt is my hero. He speaks for me when my ineptitude renders me silent.
