Overheard this conversation on the A train today between two 20-something coeds (who may be closeted sci-fi nerds).
Coed 1: Oh my God, did you hear about Kelly?
Coed 2: Kelly?
Coed 1: Yah, Kelly!
Coed 2: Who’s Kelly?
Coed 1: You know, Kelly Kelly.
Coed 2: Oh yeah, Kelly Kelly, from Jenny’s?
Coed 1: Yeah.
Coed 2: She’s so annoying.
Coed 1: Yeah, but did you hear?
Coed 2: Hear what?
Coed 1: She’s going to, like, Australia or Zealand or something.
Coed 2: Where’s that?
Coed 1: I dunno, like where they made Mordor.
Coed 2: Made Mordor?
Coed 1: Yeah, the movie.
Coed 2: Hold on, how come she’s in Mordor?
Coed 1: She got like an internship.
Coed 2: To Mordor?
Coed 1: Yeah, cause of her grades and stuff.
Coed 2: That’s crazy. Mordor is like scary and stuff.
Coed 1: I know, right?
Coed 2: I mean, did she fly there?
Coed 1: Well yeah, you can’t just walk in to Mordor.
