Dean:
I'm 6'8" tall. Where I'm from, that's a little tall, but not crazy. People are just taller. Not a big deal.
A foot and a half of snow. Where I'm from, that's some snow, but not crazy. It just snows more in Western Michigan. Not a big deal. That's why I couldn't figure out why people were making such a big deal about the snow that was inevitably coming to town.
Andrea: and by "couldn't figure out" Dean means, it was driving him crazy. I may or may not have told our coworkers to deliberately use the words "snomaggeddon" and "snowpocalypse" around Dean as much as possible.Dean:
You forgot "Snowtorious B.I.G."People were Facebooking and Twittering the impending doom that was sure come upon all of us. It was getting on my nerves.
Andrea:
I don't blame you, but I grew up in one of those places. You know, those places where there's an inch of snow and they cancel school. One of those places. But I've lived in Montana, the Northeast and the Midwest for the last 7 years, so I know rationally that snow is a part of life in the winter. But still. There is something that makes me panic just a little bit when I hear about 20 inches of snow.
Dean:
As long as your panicking entails stocking the fridge with good cheese and interesting beer, I'm all in.
