Scene 1: Alex walks out of his bedroom wearing a faded green towel around his hips. Ben is sitting on the couch, shirtless and in jeans, with his laptop on his lap. Trying to work.
Ben: you're helluv naked
Alex: no i'm not. i'm wearing a towel
Ben: you're still helluv naked
(alex browses through cds and find an everclear cd)
Alex: you want me to get naked? cuz you know i will...
Ben: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Alex: then i'm obviously not naked
(alex walks back into his room and shuts the door)
Ben: NAKEDNESS ISN'T A BINARY STATE
Scene 2: AIM
Ben J Young: i mean
Ben J Young: i'm way more naked than the average muslim women visiting the market in iran
Ben J Young: and you
Ben J Young: well
whitelightninggg: lol
Ben J Young: were way more naked than me
Scene 3: Ben hasn't moved. Alex walks out of his room wearing wearing boxers covering his hips, jeans covering the lower half of his buttocks with a large tear in the rear exposing his boxers, an unbuckled belt, and white athletic socks. Alex turns around exposing the tear in his jeans...
Alex: now how naked am i?
Ben: (moves head side to side pondering, weighing options) about as naked as me
Alex: (lifts up foot and points out his sock) i'm less naked than you
Ben: oh hrmm well it's complicated. because covering more skin doesn't necessarily make you less naked
(alex makes quizzical expression)
Ben: for example, wearing underwear and shorts is way less naked than wearing a t-shirt and underwear
Alex: hmm. that's true
(pause)
Ben: and if you're wearing socks and nothing else, that's way more naked than if you're just not wearing anything
(alex laughs)
(pause)
Alex: i think you should write about nakedness in your lj
Ben: that would be good if this was an aim conversation, but it's not
Alex: we could pretend it is...........
