      90% sure the shared name is purely coincidental, not meant to be a direct reference to the MSFT Paul Allen.

      … the general name confusion though, is on point for American Pyscho.

      Bland, interchangeable, common rich white dude names.

        Thank you for the clarification, never seen the movie! Though unfortunately I’m still not sure what they were actually trying to say with the comment…

          Uh… right. Yes.

          Yeah it doesn’t make much sense…

          Maybe they want to see some kind of male partner of yours, his… corned hole?

          … ?

            Chiming in late. Its a parallel that he was dumbfounded by what he saw but he knew there was one better (from Paul Allen).

              … but what is the analagously ‘better one’, in this context?

              Like… a different corncob?

              One with more subtle texturing, an understated yet simultaneously bold color?

              Or… a different…corncob reciever?

              ???

              An entirely different kind of dildo-esque vegetable?
