Now That's Obscure

So anyone who has read my blog for along time knows that i wrote my Master's thesis on Eyre Crowe. Crowe was an official in the British Foreign Office during WWI and II, who was German born and bred, which made him a little bit of an outcast.

Anyways, as i am currently waiting tables while i try to find a real job (anyone know someone who needs an uptight, over-organized history professor or administrative assistant?) I meet a lot of interesting people. About a week ago, i had 6 British (I think, they may have been Scottish) guys at my restaurant drinking wine and Guinness and talking about History. Being the history nerd that i am, i could not help but putting my two sense in. Which led to a discussion of my life and why i was waitressing and what i had studied in college.

As they were wrapping up their meal, I told them that i had wrote my masters thesis on Eyre Crowe.

To which they all replied: Who?

I explained who he was, and they asked me to spell his name. SHOCKER, none of them had heard of Eyre Crowe. They were like "that guy is pretty obscure if 6 British history teachers have never heard of him."

So yeah, I managed to write a 100 page thesis about a guy that British people have never heard of. Score one for me.
