CLINT
today
you enjoying this festive period as much as me?
GABY
today
I never understand the appeal of Thanksgiving. But Napoleon has been off work for a few days which is nice.
CLINT
today
non-american's rarely really understand the insanity that is Thanksgiving week.
honestly, sometimes i don't understand it that much either.
probably a family-bred thing.
GABY
today
I appreciate the time off but not the way the grocery stores went insane.
CLINT
today
it's usually a good idea to get the shopping done the first week of november.
on the plus side when you get mauled in the supermarket you have an excuse to hog a turkey?
GABY
today
I ordered in 😉
CLINT
today
yeah. me and lucky got pizza. but i ran out of coffee on wednesday.
that's worth braving a war zone for.
GABY
today
was it brutal?
CLINT
today
i am totally sure i saw a granny arm wrestle a yoga teacher for some cranberries.
GABY
today
wow. That’s something else. Like Black Friday sales.
CLINT
today
oh that's probably going to be worse. you could sell popcorn and deck chairs to watch that and it'd be like an mma fight.
GABY
today
I’ve never understood the appeal of those, either.
CLINT
today
mma fights? probably the same as boxing. karate. just... violence as a sport.
GABY
today
Yes, I don’t see the appeal of violence as a sport 😛
CLINT
today
some people like that stuff. i had a girlfriend one time who lived for it.
she was weird though.
GABY
today
I’m noticing a trend in the women you date
CLINT
today
ooooh yeah. dangerous women, competent men.
oddly both things i am varying levels of.
GABY
today
Yes, you are definitely a dangerous woman.
CLINT
today
especially to myself in heels.
GABY
today
A delight to see, I’m sure.
CLINT
today
like a newborn gazelle
GABY
today
Not too dissimilar to me walking in heels.
CLINT
today
murder on the ankles. why bother if you don't need to.
GABY
today
The height boost isn’t worth it.
CLINT
today
cut off your friends ankles. then you won't have to worry.
GABY
today
Hire someone to carry me everywhere.
CLINT
today
your snobbish friend has good shoulders, he'd do just fine.
GABY
today
My ‘snobbish’ friend?
CLINT
today
i'm not sure there's a better way of describing a man named after a french military wank.
GABY
today
😂 I’m sure he’s been called worse things.
CLINT
today
if he went to public school yeah he did.
GABY
today
Thats actually quite sad
CLINT
today
i hear it builds character.
GABY
today
He certainly has that.
CLINT
today
so obviously i'm just stating slightly sad facts.
GABY
today
What a skill 😉
CLINT
today
my skills are very obscure. nothing like mechanical ability, or even coordination. just ... sad facts.
GABY
today
You should go work at hallmark
By the way, I sourced a few options for you to get a new truck.
CLINT
today
oh. really. that'd be helpful. weird shit happens around here in december. i'd like to not die in a snow storm.
GABY
today
You say that like weird shit doesn’t happen all the time.
CLINT
today
weirder shit.
GABY
today
Oh boy.
CLINT
today
yup. it's gonna be fun. a truck will be handy.
GABY
today
I’ll send over the information tomorrow
CLINT
today
thanks. i mean, anything is better than walking, or that old truck.
GABY
today
You’re not wrong
CLINT
today
i'll look through things, i'll let you know.
GABY
today
Thanks. One of them would need fixing up but it’s still better than your old one.
CLINT
today
i think a go-cart would be better than my old one. but hey, if you can fix it up whatever is wrong, it's all good.
GABY
today
I can. It’ll be cheaper in the long run.
CLINT
today
sounds like a winner then.
GABY
today
here, drop him a text and he’ll get you the truck if you want it. Tell him he can drop it off at the garage.

CLINT

you're brilliant. i'll let you know when it's set up.
GABY
today
I try. Let me know when to expect it and I’ll make sure I’ve got the parts.
