It’s funny that I, a Telmarine, should be starting a Duffer thread, but I’m making a serious effort to figure something out, with, hopefully the help of the more Dufferish of my fellows: just how does a Duffer’s brain work, anyway? Now, here we have a few examples of just how Duffers brains might work. I feel that if I know how your brains work, I can relate to you much better. Please, vote on the poll, and make your opinions known. I further believe that if those who post in this thread could provide their own examples, it would be helpful as I try to determine how you folks think as I learn how to best connect with you. Following are some examples of how I think Duffers’ brain may work. Thanks for your help!

Example 1:
Duffer 1: I like my music really jazzed up. How about you?
Duffer 2: Me, too. Hey, do you remember when Pepsi made Pepsi Jazz?
Duffer 3: That stuff was awful! Pepsi Twist was so much better.
Duffer 1: So when’s the last time anybody played the game Twister?
Duffer 2: Me? Never. But I have this cousin whose house was destroyed by a twister once.
Duffer 3: Really? Wow. Hey, isn’t cheese super?
Duffer 1: No, I hate cheese.
Duffer 2: What? Treason! You are hereby thrown into the Insane Asylum!
Duffer 3: What good is an asylum if it’s insane?
Duffer 2: Not the asylum, you idiot! The inhabitants!
Duffer 3: Oh, uh… anybody want some pie (may pie live forever)?
Example 2:
Duffer 1: I have so many addictions. You know, cheese, movie stars, sitcoms, TDL, video games, and the like.
Duffer 2: Wait – what’s “The Like”?
Duffer 3: Oh, you know, it’s that button they have on Facebook.
Duffer 1: No, no, ‘the like’ is just an expression. It means ‘stuff like the previous stuff mentioned”. Man, you guys need an education.
Duffer 3: Well, it might help if we first got a life.
Duffer 2: Wait – what’s a life?
Duffer 3: I don’t really know.
Duffer 1: Me neither. I just hear other people, you know, non-Duffers, talking about it sometimes.
Duffer 2: Hmm. Maybe I’ll have to look into that.
Example 3:
Duffer 1: Mmm… cheese is good.
Duffer 2: May pie live forever.
Duffer 3: Oh, what a shiny trash can! Can I keep it?
Duffer 1: Why would anyone want to keep a trash can?
Duffer 2: Well, how could anyone like cheese?
Duffer 3: Cheese is easy. What I don’t get it is how anyone could like pie.
Duffer 2: Then you belong in the insane asylum.
Duffer 3: Fine! But you’re coming with me.
Duffer 1: I’d better go along to make sure you two don’t kill each other.
