Caveman the movie buff
As mentioned in some previous blog posts, the Caveman is a bit of a hockey trivia nut. Sometimes, he demonstrates his knowledge of obscure hockey information through his lack of knowledge of other things.
Recently, on a rare off night from the ball diamond, the family watched the 1994 movie "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective". As the movie goes through the opening sequence, the star's name is flashed across the screen: Jim Carrey.
Caveman immediately says "Wow, he was in movies too!"
To which of course I replied, sighing, with: "Uh, what do you mean, Caveman?"
Caveman: "Jim Carey! He was a goalie in the NHL and I guess he is in this movie too."
Only the Caveman would know Jim Carey, a former NHL goalie for four seasons who hasn't played in the pros in 15 years (the Caveman is 8 years old), but would never have heard of Jim Carrey, the list actor who has starred in 35 plus Hollywood movies.
