Obscure detail fandom giggling!

So last night I went to the convenience store nearby to get some milk and ridiculous novelty cereal, because I could.

And this particular store regularly has THE most ridiculous music, running the gamut from the randomest of random oldies to horrible covers of death.

And I was perusing the cereal aisle (and moving around every so often to avoid these incredibly sugar-powered kids speeding up and down the aisle repeatedly), and I hear over the intercom: "o/` Don't know much about a science book, don't know much about the French I took~"

And I had to stop myself from giggling like a nerd sovereign, because that particular song shows up briefly in one of the Jing: King of Bandits manga (specifically volume 4, in the Prison of Dreams story arc, where it is used as a method of making sure a dodo-bird-and-cerberus-dog-powered trolley moves at the right tempo, and no I'm not kidding, and no that is not the silliest means of drawing a trolley seen in that manga) in a couple of panels and I am easily entertained.

One of the nice things about having a brain that works the way mine does (when I have the right medication and strategies to navigate its crazier flights of WTF), even if it can make things a pain in the damn ass sometimes because I can't focus or people don't understand my nonlinear logic leaps of doom? I am rarely bored for too terribly long these days. Because I will remember things like oldies songs in manga out of the blue and it will make me smile and I will be able to deal with dodging speeding kids in Shoppers Drug Mart repeatedly. XD
