Perhaps the situation is the key some of the time. Perhaps not. It's hard to tell - and I really don't know why he said, "Inter species erotica!", when I asked him to turn the television down a smidge. Sometimes he just says that at random, in the way of the Didgerifurbee, but in plain talk. Well, I say plain talk. It's not plain. It's English, but it is not plain. So back to exploring this idea of the situation determining the line/response - actually, hang that up. That's not it.
It is clear he enjoys the movies. But after a spat of simply imitating Jay in public, he is living and breathing them now, picking out the finest points to play repeatedly. While he speaks to everyone else normally, all I get is Clerks. He's told me them white boys will get those white girls to do anything, and forcefully said that something just centers him. (Alright??) I could ask him if he would like some French fries, and he would come back with asking me if I am trying to get fired. Sometimes he will dance.
I think he is somehow trying to embody every character. Idea! Let's encourage him to just go with Silent Bob! Do you think that might work? I could present it as a challenge, a bet that he couldn't channel Silent Bob for, oh, six or seven years. I mean days. Let's say a week of Didgeridoo Boy being Silent Bob and no one else. (Of course, that might mean that he just followed me every damned where, staring. Clearly, there are some kinks to be worked out.)
Silent Didgeridoo. Hm.
