[018] they should never give a license to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves
[Anyone paying attention is treated to a good thirty seconds of humming -- "Jingle Bell Rock" at first but then "Do They Know It's Christmas" -- but it stops abruptly when he actually finds his train of thought.]
..Is there a word for when you get a song stuck in your head, but every time you get to one part it turns into something else? And it keeps looping because you can't remember any more of it?
There's probably one in German. They're always good for that.
But seriously. I'm getting sick of it; it ends up on that one about whether or not people know it's Christmas and it's just fucking depressing.
[He looks guilty for all of ten seconds -- he's probably not supposed to be cursing, at least not out loud because it's impolite, but whatever.]
[A/N: AU!Richie is the adoptive son of William von Graham and Hannibal. He's a little misguided, and has a tendency towards Bad Life Choices, cursing like a sailor, submitting to peer pressure entirely too easily, and impulsive decisionmaking, but he's generally not a bad kid.
Although you might not want to leave him in charge of your pets, plants, or small children; he tends to be unintentionally neglectful of them.]

wiki is full of useless info. like tyler.
gotta love it!
[Eyeroll; he's not a dog. But he minds less than he protests.]
"Earworm", huh? I guess that makes sense. I knew there had to be a German word for it. ...Gross, but it works.

[You'll just get a second dessert later. Not a 'treat'. Duh.]
Yes. I never claimed to have invented it. It is rather fitting though, would you not agree?
no subject
Something that gets stuck in your ear canal and probably needs to be pried out with forceps before it latches on and tears a chunk out of your brain? Yeah, it fits.
[Maybe it's just phrased that way for the shock value, maybe he legitimately equates them....it's anyone's guess. ...In any event, somebody was watching Starship Troopers last night, apparently, and now might have a tiny temporary fixation on alien bugs. Don't mind him.]
no subject
A very... grotesque explanation, but yes. That is what I meant.
[Note the disapproval there. Polite society does not go into such detail. At least not publicly. And your choice of entertainment? ... He'll let it slide. For now.]
no subject
I just call it how I see it.
[Nooo not disapproval. Anything but disapproval; he's a little deflated now. He can't help it that he gets a little carried away with his enthusiasm sometimes.
SUBJECT CHANGE.]
So do we watch all the Christmas specials or...? [He's not sure what you people do, Will. He's hoping you say yes though.]
