Who: RollThunder and Beeb [Barbara Gordon and Ted Kord] NPCs: --- When: 3/13/2012 Where: Cyberspace What: Geekery. Of the over AIM sort. Rating: Safe for work!
RollThunder: U there? Or AFK again...
Beeb: Here! Typing with one hand. Beeb: PIZZIA. Beeb: I have PIZZA in the other hand.
RollThunder: This is why I talk to you, Beeb. RollThunder: You’re all class.
RollThunder: Pepperoni? I might be jealous.
Beeb: Pepperoni on one half Beeb: Got a little “crazy" and got BBQ Chicken on the other half. Beeb: I’d offer to share but … I don’t have a Willie Wonnka type machine to zap the Pizza to you with.
RollThunder: Well get working on that. I’m sure you could deconstruct an old television set and before you know it we’ll be splitting a pie. RollThunder: I need to stop talking about food. I could demolish the contents of my fridge if my fridge had anything in it besides bottled water and baking soda.
Beeb: Aye Aye! Beeb: Well a bottle and baking soda sounds like your on your way to a cool baking soda volcanoe. Beeb: I hate the day before a grocery store trip too though.
RollThunder: Freshdirect all the way. RollThunder: Can’t decide if I want to order a ton of food or pass out for a few hours. RollThunder: Or option three, stay up into the wee hours of the morning on the webs.
Beeb: I find option three usually works for me. Beeb: Staying awake powered by Pizza and RedBull.
Beeb: and I’m still talking about food. Beeb: Sorry. Beeb: I promise not to link you to websites showcasing cookies.
RollThunder: Don’t make me hack your smartphone and deliver 20 pizzas to your house :P
Beeb: Now whose talking about food? Beeb: And 20 pizzas, please. That’s all? I’ll have you know that I was a pizza eating contest champion back in my college days. Beeb: (The above statement may be a fib.)
RollThunder: I’d hope so. Otherwise I’d have to ask you where you find the time to work off all the pizza ;)
Beeb: Hey maybe that’s what I’m doing when I’m AFK …
RollThunder: I’ll have you know that was a great opening for a dirty joke. RollThunder: But I’ll refrain. Because I’m a proper lady.
Beeb: You are the classy one here, yes it is true. Beeb: I’ll just be over here digging my hole a bit deeper.
Beeb: So what wonders of the Internet are you going to stay awake to the wee hours sufring around looking at? Beeb: Assuming you go with option three.
RollThunder: Oh you know. Same old same old. RollThunder: Infinite nyan-cat. RollThunder: (Actually, I’m looking up up rock climbing gear, but that won’t take all night.)
RollThunder: I think I need to take a hot shower. Still be here in 20?
Beeb: Rock climbing nice! Beeb: Yup.
[RollThunder: is Away]
[RollThunder: is Available]
RollThunder: Readily available hot water is a miracle of modern science!
Beeb: One of the many perks of the 21st century! Beeb: I’d raise a glass to the great minds that came up with the shower, and then figrued out how to make the water hot. Beeb: But all I have is a wrench. Beeb: So I’ll raise that.
RollThunder: I’ll tip my soldering iron to that, sir! RollThunder: You’ll have to forgive me--because I know I’m behind on the times--but we never talked about THE iPad. RollThunder: The non-numerical iPad. RollThunder: The one iPad to rule them all.
RollThunder: ...does it make you uncomfortable when a woman says ‘pad’ that many times in a row?
Beeb: Is it going to make me less of a man if I admit that yes, it does a bit? Beeb: Because if so - no not at all. Beeb: 21st century, I am firmly in touch with my feminine side.
Beeb: Also. Might as well make myself even less of a ‘dude’. Beeb: Squealed a bit when I got my iPad.
RollThunder: I may-or-may-not have squeaked one into my hands early. RollThunder: I mean, it’s cute. Nice screen. RollThunder: I guess I’ll always prefer my hardware to be more hefty and powerful.
RollThunder: ...please don’t tell me you’re one of those people who takes pictures with an iPad...
Beeb: Sneaky. How’d you manage that? Beeb: Or is that one of those secrets with a capital S?
Beeb: Well you have a point there. If you can’t bean someone with it, what’s the point? Beeb: Oh no. I only take pictures with my phone. Beeb: As the tech gods intended.
RollThunder: Srsly. It’s horribly inadequate for beating ninjas upside the head. RollThunder: Good. I was about to disown you otherwise :P
Beeb: Ninjas Beeb: Rock climbing Beeb: You live an exxtttrreeemmmeee life don’t you?
RollThunder: Breaking up international crime rings RollThunder: Punching muggers right in the face RollThunder: Chainsaw juggling RollThunder: I live life on the edge.
Beeb: Danger is your Middle name? Beeb: I bet you don’t floss after every meal, either. Beeb: RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF CRAZY, that’ you, isn’t it?
RollThunder: Whoa, man. WHOA. RollThunder: I floss. Let’s not go crazy here.
RollThunder: :)
Beeb: Sorry. I did go over the edge a bit there. Beeb: And that’s good. Be true to your teeth or they’ll be false to you!
RollThunder: I’d never heard that one before. RollThunder: Storing that away for a rainy day :) RollThunder: I have a ton of cousins I can use that on.
Beeb: Oh it slays at family gatherings . Beeb: Or maybe just mine … Beeb: and by slays I mean incites groans, figure I should give you fair warning. Beeb: But family has to accept you right? Bad jokes and all!
RollThunder: Oh yeah. But then, you have to accept a lot from them too RollThunder: But can’t make due without them. RollThunder: ….this conversation got oddly sentimental all of a sudden.
Beeb: Subject change Beeb: Scrolling back up the chat window … you said you had a soddering iron Beeb: what’s getting sodered?
RollThunder: All the things? RollThunder: Just making a new mobo for myself. Something streamlined and sexy.
Beeb: Niiicce Beeb: Good to keep busy Beeb: when your not juggling chainsaws
RollThunder: Gotta have my hobbies. RollThunder: Otherwise I’d spend my days thinking about cats
Beeb: Hobbies are good! Beeb: That video. Beeb: I mean thinking about cats counts as a hobby right?
RollThunder: Probably. If you think about them as intensely as that chick. RollThunder: :) I’ll stick to pimping out my mobo, kthnx.
Beeb: Good choice. Beeb: But don’t forget food!
RollThunder: Jeez! See? It’s good you’re around. RollThunder: I totally forgot. RollThunder: Okay, time to bunker down for the night and order a pizza. RollThunder: Night, Beeb!
Beeb: Night RT! Beeb: Watch those fingers when juggling those chainsaws! Beeb: Because it might slow down your typing / chatting speed :D
RollThunder: You know you’d miss me if I wasn’t able to type anymore ;)
[RollThunder: has logged off]
Beeb: Hey I would! Beeb: [un-sent: So you want to go get pizza sometime?] Beeb: [un-sent: Nope still too chicken to ask]
