I haven’t read Harry Potter, and I’m proud
I admitted in my post on pop culture that I’ve never read a single Harry Potter book. Never, nunca, nada. Little did I know I wasn’t the only person in the world who has never read a Harry Potter book.
Someone then suggested we start a club for people who have not read Harry Potter. I concurred. So far, here is the club:
UPDATE - New Members:
The name of the club shall henceforth be known as “Americans/Australians/AnyCountryThatStartsWithA Against Popular Leisure Reading” or AAPLR for short. The best pronunciation of the acronym I can come up with is AAAAAAA-pluhr. Think “Aflac duck” for the first syllable, followed by a nasal rendition of the first part of ‘plural’.
Stay with me. How many times have you missed out on a conversation because you had yet to catch up on the popular book/show/movie/sex toy everyone else was talking about? I think it’s time we make a stand. A stand for what we believe in. A stand against popularity in all its forms. In fact, if this club gets too popular, I’m going to shut it down. Just like that. I believe in what I stand for just that much.
What about you? Who’s with me? Who else wants to join Aaaaaaapluhr? The only prerequisite is that you haven’t read Harry Potter or anything on Oprah’s Book Club reading list. If you fail to meet the requirements and still want to join, I’ll need a note from your mother or one of your twelve cats confirming that you haven’t read any of the aforementioned tomes in the last six to eight weeks.
We’re gonna need a secret handshake…
Mr. Fabulous: Here’s what I think:
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start
I threw the ’select’ in there because it’s for two player…
YAAAAAAAY!! A club that I can join too! Not only have I never read the books (don’t ever care to), but I’ve never seen any of the Harry Potter movies either!
Can I be a member too please? Pretty please with whipped cream, sprinkles, and cherries on top? I’ll be a good little member, I promise.
April: I’ve seen most of the movies… but I don’t let that stop me. And yes, you’re now a member of AAPLR!
AAPLR sounds like a horrible sex act. Like sticking an apple up a chick’s ass.
“Did you hook up with that chick last night?
“Yeah man - I gave her an appler!”
JJ: Leave it to you to think that one up… Although, maybe we should change the focus of the club, but keep the name the same!
