SUPER-FANTASMA-SENSATIONALISTIC, BRO!

(( ooc: Mikey's riding his new, quieter board along deck six ))

[few moments to regulate his breathing.]

...That kind of defeats the purpose of the quieter board, Mikey.

[thepartydude]

Donnie, don't be such a sourpuss.

[tic_tech_turtle]

That wasn't even a word. Fantasma-sensationalistic?

[ups sourpuss levels by a hundred. Just because.]

[thepartydude]

Superfantasmasensationalistic.

It's the greatest word ever! It's got a little bit of everything, but maybe it's just a little too awesome for some people.

[NOT MENTIONING NAMES, DONATELLO.]

[tic_tech_turtle]

It's like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

It has no real meaning or purpose, and in the end only sounds silly. Like bossa nova.

[thepartydude]

Hey dude, you came up with bossanova.

And supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is totally lame. Superfantasmasensationalistic is where it's at.

[tic_tech_turtle]

And I was quickly shown the error of my ways. Which I am attempting to do here, in return.

And supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a false word known by the majority of children all across the world, or at least in the majorly English-speaking sections. Superfantasmasensationalistic is not. Therefore, the word even has little to no standing in the world of false words.

[thepartydude]

Ewwww, Don, cut it out!

You're getting your nerd all over me!

[tic_tech_turtle]

That is physically impossible.

"Nerd" is a descriptor term, an adjective, and has no physical form that I can "get all over you". If, however, you're implying that I'm rubbing off on you, then it's entirely possible. Unlikely. But possible.

And I see no reason to stop.

[thepartydude]

[Sobbing, choking sounds.]

Can't ... breathe ... too ... much ... nerd!

ACK!

[A thud as Mikey throws himself to the floor.]

[tic_tech_turtle]

Do you need me to give you a check-up?

[thepartydude]

[An overly dramatic, strangled gurgle from the comm, which evidently dropped a few feet away.]

[tic_tech_turtle]

I see.

I'll be right there, then. By the sound of your breathing I may be safe and bring something sharp - just in case I have to perform a tracheotomy, you know?

[Ominous shuffling sounds]

[thepartydude]

[If it were anyone else, Mikey wouldn't even flinch.

But this was Don. And sometimes he wasn't kidding about this stuff.]

Uh ...

[tic_tech_turtle]

Don't worry, Mikey. I'll be right there.

[Is Don serious or is he not? You're not getting any help from this end.]

[thepartydude]

[The sound of Mikey scrambling to his feet and grabbing the comm.]

Oh hey I guess the nerd ... washed off or something.

It's a miracle, I'm cured!
