sniffnoyAh, improvisational surreality. How I'd forgotten about you...
(1:27:45 AM) Tavgfrg: Where is the squid?
(1:27:52 AM) NathanSchulz: One sec...
(1:27:57 AM) NathanSchulz: there it went!
(1:28:02 AM) Tavgfrg: oh no!
(1:28:05 AM) NathanSchulz: it'll be in NJ in no time
(1:28:08 AM) NathanSchulz: duck then cover!
(1:28:14 AM) Tavgfrg: right!
(1:28:25 AM) Tavgfrg: I did not think it would be so fast
(1:28:26 AM) NathanSchulz: you know what to do when you see the flash?
(1:28:34 AM) Tavgfrg: cover then duck?
(1:28:41 AM) NathanSchulz: if you do that order
(1:28:46 AM) NathanSchulz: it'll suck out your eyes for sure
(1:28:56 AM) NathanSchulz: the squid loves your precious eye juices
(1:29:38 AM) Tavgfrg: *shudder*
(1:29:42 AM) Tavgfrg: what if I just cover my eyes?
(1:29:51 AM) NathanSchulz: can't run away, he'll find you
(1:29:59 AM) Tavgfrg: but my eyes
(1:30:03 AM) NathanSchulz: oh yeah
(1:30:07 AM) NathanSchulz: your eyelids are like butter
(1:30:14 AM) Tavgfrg: !!!
(1:30:15 AM) NathanSchulz: on the tasty bread that is your eye juices
(1:30:49 AM) Tavgfrg: OK
(1:30:58 AM) Tavgfrg: that could be a problem
(1:31:23 AM) NathanSchulz: see I'm safe
(1:31:30 AM) NathanSchulz: the mayor issued everyone a pair of goggles
(1:31:37 AM) NathanSchulz: special, air tight squid goggles
(1:31:43 AM) Tavgfrg: !
(1:31:46 AM) NathanSchulz: ex-Soviet surplus
(1:31:50 AM) Tavgfrg: we didn't get anything like that here!
(1:31:55 AM) Tavgfrg: Soviet, eh?
(1:31:58 AM) NathanSchulz: yeah
(1:31:59 AM) Tavgfrg: are you sure they'll work?
(1:32:08 AM) NathanSchulz: i have to believe
(1:32:11 AM) NathanSchulz: or i'll go crazy
(1:32:21 AM) Tavgfrg: well as long as you don't forget your other precautions
(1:32:32 AM) NathanSchulz: how can i?
(1:33:00 AM) Tavgfrg: all too easily
(1:33:41 AM) Tavgfrg: many people like simply to put their trust in simple measures
(1:34:00 AM) Tavgfrg: and do not consider the true complexity of their problems
(1:34:18 AM) NathanSchulz: you ever think
(1:34:26 AM) NathanSchulz: that not having fear alone could help us prevail?
(1:34:54 AM) NathanSchulz: you and Adlai Stevenson can pack your bags and go home
(1:35:18 AM) Tavgfrg: but I have no bags
(1:35:37 AM) NathanSchulz: adlai stevenson, or as he really should be known "Gogo"
(1:35:47 AM) Tavgfrg: LOL
(1:35:50 AM) Tavgfrg: I'd forgotten about that
(1:36:03 AM) NathanSchulz: fear got to adlai
(1:36:08 AM) NathanSchulz: and he hid in a zone eater
(1:36:15 AM) NathanSchulz: harry, promise me that won't happen to you
(1:36:25 AM) Tavgfrg: I will never hide in a zone eater!
(1:36:51 AM) NathanSchulz: now harry
(1:37:02 AM) NathanSchulz: see how well i distracted you from the squid, and it's already passed by
(1:37:06 AM) NathanSchulz: you just needed to have faith
(1:37:24 AM) Tavgfrg: passed by?
(1:37:29 AM) NathanSchulz: or rather
(1:37:32 AM) NathanSchulz: ate your neighbors eyes
(1:37:39 AM) Tavgfrg: !!
(1:37:44 AM) NathanSchulz: you're unaffected though!
(1:37:50 AM) Tavgfrg: there was no flash!
(1:37:57 AM) NathanSchulz: yeah there was
(1:38:03 AM) NathanSchulz: you just were prepared, psychologically
(1:38:33 AM) Tavgfrg: that makes no sense!
(1:38:41 AM) NathanSchulz: you just had to believe
(1:38:47 AM) NathanSchulz: maybe it's something you'll never understand
(1:39:57 AM) Tavgfrg: or maybe you're just lying
(1:40:12 AM) NathanSchulz: harry
(1:40:33 AM) NathanSchulz: I apologize if i resorted to squid-mongering to maintain my fear-based political power
(1:40:55 AM) NathanSchulz: but since you've seen through me it makes sense to confess
(1:41:17 AM) Tavgfrg: but I didn't even vote for you anyway!
(1:41:43 AM) NathanSchulz: i'm up for reelection, so i should try to court people i didn't get last time
(1:42:11 AM) NathanSchulz: i've resorted to whatever i can to get that segment
(1:42:29 AM) NathanSchulz: i've brought up squid, scaled fish, and lobsters haven't been a problem in 20+ years, but it helps to wave the red shirt
(1:42:58 AM) Tavgfrg: were you paying no attention to timing? the election ended 15 minutes ago
(1:43:10 AM) NathanSchulz: did i lose?
(1:43:32 AM) Tavgfrg: I don't know
(1:43:34 AM) Tavgfrg: the results aren't in yet
(1:43:45 AM) NathanSchulz: it's all about turn out
(1:44:00 AM) Tavgfrg: it just may be...
I'm going to have to do this way, way more often.
Now, I'm certain I had an old entry here where I asked various people on AIM where they kept their squid, or if I could borrow their squid, or something like that, but I can't seem to find it...
(Addendum: Found it.)
