Um, Actually!
"From Midgard to Middle Earth, nerds like a lot of things but there's something they love above all else and that is correcting people. You thought we were all spent but back by popular demand --"
"Um, actually nobody demanded..."
"That is technically correct. Okay, back by popular request --"
"Um, actually it wasn't 'popular' - it was only a few people."
"Okay fine: back by mild polite inquiry
-- pauses for interruption --
A night of interruptions, outbursts, and petty corrections awaits. Get ready for a bonus round! IT'S UM AC2UALLY!!!"
