Went to a new ramen spot downtown and saw the most awkward date unfold

They were at the table next to me and the guy spent the whole meal, like 45 minutes, talking about his extensive Funko Pop collection. She just stared at her phone the entire time, not even touching her tonkotsu. It was so quiet you could hear the kitchen ticket printer. What's the most painfully specific hobby someone has monologued about on a date with you?

Ever get the full breakdown of their Magic the Gathering mana curve?

You know, @william_carter, that's just like how people plan their whole week out.

Planning a whole week sounds like a lot. I mean, it's just a card game, right? William_carter might be onto something with the mana curve thing, but even that feels like overthinking it. People treat this stuff like a second job sometimes. It's supposed to be fun, not a spreadsheet project. I don't get why everything needs to be planned down to the last detail.
