Nazi Boy
Life, Musings March 28th, 2008There’s this guy in my law year that I see in my classes sometimes whom I have this unshaking correlation with being a Nazi. It’s purely an aesthetic thing too; he’s a tall, built guy with blue eyes, really short blond hair and a gigantic neck that sits below a surprisingly small head. The most puzzling thing is that I didn’t know why my first and lasting conclusion after seeing him was “wow, he looks like a Nazi”. It’s a really unjustified conclusion too, because the guy was quite nice when I had to work with him during an in-class group presentation, and he definitely knew his law stuff. Sure, he hangs around certified douchebags but that doesn’t necessarily mean he is a douchebag. Or a Nazi.
But it hit me like a shark on a chainsaw yesterday night, when I saw this icon [source]:
He looks almost exactly like Rolfe from The Sound of Music!! Except with a thicker neck, and less even features. And Rolfe was definitely a Nazi. Well I feel better now, knowing I didn’t just link some random dude to being a Nazi for no reason.
In other news, did you know that Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are the most widely quoted children’s books in judgments? Well, I think it’s fascinating stuff. :P
Reverse racism!!!11!
lulz.
Just to clarify, I don’t think all blond hair/blue eyed people are Nazis. o_o Just the guy in my class, and now I know it’s because he looks so much like Rolfe.
Racism FTL. D:
That was too amusing. I love the sudden feeling of comprehension when one figures out why someone reminds one of a trait/character!
Belinda, you Nazi-sist. :P
See, I don’t think I would’ve thought, “NAZI!” rather…
“The hilllss are aliiveee, with the soounnddd of muuusiiccc.”
Or maybe not. I’m just glad you didn’t go up to him and ask if he was. :P
I read your post before going to work today. And lo and behold, I found myself singing “Do Re Mi” to a crying toddler at work to comfort her. Of all the songs to sing, that was just one of the ones that popped out of my mouth.
Lol! Ask him “do you happen to be a Nazi?” - that’ll make you doubt no more :D
Or you could just forget about it and conclude that the idea came from associating him with Rolfe XD
Interesting. I rarely think things about guys’ appearances besides, “Oh, he’s hot.” XD
Hm. I’ve never seen anyone before whom I’ve just thought of as being a ‘nazi’, except in movies, they just jump out. Not in real life though strangely enough. But from your description, I can see where you got it from. :)
I haven’t much to say about Nazis, real or imagined, but that link really made me want to read Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass again. Lewis Carroll was demented in exactly the right way, and I love him for it.
Hm, I compare people to characters in movies, but I don’t think I would have thought “Nazi!” if I saw the guy in your class. Funny how he looks exactly like Rolfe though :)
“A shark on a chainsaw.” Oh, Belinda. You entertain.
I just wrote a paper on Lewis Carroll. I agree with Seth. Carroll’s jabberwocky is endearing.
I associate Nazis with The Producers now. Springtime for Hitler and Germany~
I love that musical! :3
Lol, that’s seriously SO weird, equating his appearance with his being a Nazi, but at the same time, it’s so something I would do too!
I love the Sound of Music too, it’s so cute…and catchy! :D
