    “It’s a comic where JRR Tolkien says “Gandalf” is actually pronounced “Jandalf”, a reference to the dumb side of the gif/jif debate. Also someone in the comments posted a denim-clad Gandalf since denim versions of things are often called that thing but with a “J” at the start of the name.”

      You see though, I would have to explain the gif / jif debate. Then I would have to explain what a gif is

      Then I would have to explain what a Gandalf is.

      And the way I would have to explain what a Gandalf is, is to remind her of the character with a stick from the lego game where you had to get up to swap characters… But he is also from lord of the rings.

      Then I have to explain what lotr is. And how it’s different from Harry Potter.

      And in the end she would say. “That’s stupid”

          I told her “someone said you must be insanely attractive”

          She said why?

          I said because of that post I made the other day about gif jif Gandalf jandalf.

          She said “why would they say I must be insanely attractive because of that post?”

          I said… Because you must be insanely attractive for me to put up with it. But they said you must be insanely attractive!

          “That doesn’t make sense” she said. “I’m insanely adorable.”

          🤦
