"I don't get this stuff!"
"What stuff?"
"This stuff here, I don't get it."
"Okay, what kind of stuff is it?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, what kind of stuff is it that you don't get?"
"Dude, I don't get this stuff so how can I explain it to you?"
"But what kind of stuff is it?"
"I told you I don't get it?"
"Okay, but in general what kind of stuff is it?"
"I don't get it at all, so how can I tell you anything about it?"
"I just mean in general, ya know like is it programming stuff you don't get, or pictures of cats with whip cream on their heads like hats that you don't get, or history stuff, or whatever in general, just give me some sort of general idea about what the nature of the stuff that you don't get is."
"Cats!?"
"Cats?"
"With whipcream?"
"No way, really?"
"Hunh? Am I supposed to know about it?"
"Are you serious?"
"Umm, look dude we're friends, and Ummm you shouldn't make fun of me if I'm not like up to date on weird shit and stuff so, can you just be cool and like explain it to me?"
"Uhhh. Okay, are you seriously all angsting out over there about not understanding cats with whipcream hats?"
"Uhh, no, yes, maybe, I'm confused."
"I'm confused."
"You're confused?"
"Yeah, I was just listing random categories of stuff as examples and the cat thing was just a joke like guess thing, I had no idea that was real dude."
"Wait, so is it real or not?"
"Hunh?"
"Is it a real thing or are you yanking my chain?"
"Is what real? The cat thing?"
"Yeah, what the hell else would I be talking about?"
"Umm, the stuff you don't get?"
"Well I sure as hell don't get cats with whipcream hats."
"Okay, wait a minute. I have to google this real quick. Uh, kay, uh hum, umm. So we have one pic of a cat with a tiny blop of cream on its head. Okay here is a person with a whipcream hat. Hummm, okay, a hedgehog with whipcream on its head, lots of just other pics that have either cats or cream, ah here is a cat that's sort of got what almost looks like a whipcream hat. Okay I'm saying no, it isn't a thing."
"Okay, good, I hate getting blind sided by new memes and shit."
"Yeah, I feel ya dude."
"Wait, did you say hedgehog?"
"Yep."
"Was it like a cartoon like sonic the hedgehog or something?"
"Nope, it looked real to me."
"Was it out in the woods or whatever?"
"Nope, I think it was like at a starbucks or something."
"What the F dude!?"
"What the F what?"
"A hedgehog, a real live hedgehog, in Starbucks with a whipcream hat on?"
"Yeah, I think his name was like Peter, or Pierre or some shit like that."
"Peter the hedgehog was in Starbucksnot with a whipcream hat on?"
"Peter, or something like that."
Typing and normal work sounds.
"Okay dude, so Peter Rabbit is like a super famous olde tyme cartoon character, and there is the female hedgehog Mrs. Tiggy Winkle and so if they had a baby and it was peter the hedgehog and then this anime song dude Shoutarou Morikubo has a song called Hedgehog Peter, and so some real hedgehog has that name and wears a whipcream hat in starbucks."
"Are you still going on about that?"
"Oh and there is this dude named Tony Crisp who has a blog and there are stories about Peter the Hedgehog. I wonder if it is the same one? If there are stories and Japanese songs about this dude, maybe he's like a cool thing that most people don't know about? But I still haven't found that pic you mentioned."
"Okay, Jesus, give me a second. Umm, Oh here it is and the name is Pierre, not Peter. A guy has an instagram thing for the hedghog and he takes pictures of it being cute and stuff, and one of those was of Pierre on the counter at a Starbucks with some whipcream on his head. I sent you the link."
"So he has nothing to do with the Peter Rabbit stories, or the anime song, or the stories about the hedgehog that writes letters to the Queen and shit?"
"Uh, I'm going with no."
"Well that was a total waste of reasearch time."
"Sorry dude, not my fault."
Typing and normal work sounds.
"He is cute though, ya gotta give em that."
"Who, the hedgehog?"
"Yeah, he's got a cute little tea set, and he paints."
"Whatever."
"And he has a tiny soccer ball and cheese grater."
"Uh hunh."
"And the cutest little picnic basket."
"Dude, working here."
"Oh wow, a video of him yawning, that is way too cute."
"Dude! Don't you have stuff to do?"
"Oh, yeah. Sorry dude."
"No biggy."
Typing and work sounds.
"I don't get this stuff!"
"What stuff?"
"This stuff here, I don't get it."
"Shit, what kind of stuff is it?"
"What do you mean?"
"If you make me get up and walk over there I swear I will punch you in the stomach so hard you will roll up in a ball like a hedghog. Then I'll put a whipcream hat on you and post the pics online"
"Uhh so what do I have to do to not get punched?"
"Just tell me what it is that you were supposed to be working on when you said that you didn't get the stuff. before you got all distracted by cats with hats, and hedghogs and shit."
"Oh, I was supposed to be doing research on people exploiting animals in art and leisure activities in the past and present. So like is it exploitation of animals to dress them up and take pictures of them for art, and is it exploiting them if you just make up stories about them, and are there any trend changes from like historical badger baiting and dog fights and shit to modern day cats with their heads inside frenchtoast or whatever."
"Uh. okay, so first off, sorry for being a jerk, I didn't know you were actually working."
"No biggie, thanks for the hedgehog info an all."
"Right, so second off, what's the part you don't get about this stuff?"
"I don't get any of it dude."
"Jesus, let's not start that again."
"Wait a sec. Umm. Why don't we turn this thing around. Look, somebody is paying us to do this research for them on animal exploitation in art and leisure. Somebody is paying us money, actual money for me to look at wikipedia articles on Petter Rabbit and stuff, and look at cats riding roombas, and people racing weiner dogs, and whatever the hell else I can find. So let me ask you what part of this stuff do you get?"
"Well, Uhhh, Ummm. Well it's like... Shit dude, I don't get any of this stuff."
"Okay, cool then it's not just me. Back to work we go."
"Uh, yeah, okay."
