    So "Gryffindor" and "Snape" don't register to you as Harry Potter names?

    No. I mean, I know there are funny names in it. But I wouldn't be able to differentiate a Harry Potter reference from a Lord of the Rings or most any other fantasy series reference (I'm fairly well-versed in Star Wars, though.)

    I read grown-up books.

    Lord of the Rings isn't grown-up?

    And this is why you shouldn't be a Dick, folks.

    For the record: I really don't know any Harry Potter terms.

    But I was just baiting you guys with the reference to grown-up books.

    Dick, what if your son asks you to read him a Harry Potter book ON HIS BIRTHDAY?

    I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books. I've seen about 30 minutes of the first movie and that's it...

    I haven't seen one second of any of the Twilight movies.

    I've seen two episodes of The Wire.

    Never seen The Voice or X-Factor.

    Never seen any of the "Real Housewife" shows.

    Never saw The Hills

    Never saw Honey Boo Boo

    I was present for his birth, so it matters. Remember?

    Try to keep up!
