My mouth is my kryptonite

Me: Whoa! Is that dude's name really Jor-El?

*pause*

Lovely and Talented Wife: *sigh* Yes.
Me: You know who I'm talking about, right?
Wife: Yes.
Me: That's awesome.

*play*

Me: It's just a coincidence, though, right?

*pause*

Lovely and Talented and Patient Wife: *sigh* What?
Me: I mean, it's not comic related.
Wife: Probably not.
Me: But I'll bet he gets that a lot. You know, from the nerds, like me.
Wife: Probably.

*play*

Me: If you were going to name a kid after a Kryptonian, surely you'd choose Kal-El over Jor-El. I mean, who would name their kid Jor-El, right?

*pause*

Lovely and Talented and Annoyed Wife: Seriously?
Me: What?
Wife: Are you seriously blabbing about Superman's dad's name while I'm trying to watch this show?
Me: Um...
Wife: Shh!

*play*

Me: Does that other dude really call himself Suede and talk about himself in the third person?
Wife: Grr!!
