You thought about making a joke?

voice;

[backseatangel]

Something to ease the tension, but like I said, it would diminish what people went through.

voice;

[wholivedagain]

It's a good thing you didn't.

voice;

[backseatangel]

Were you hurt, did they take you?

[freckleddoll]

If ya can't find a roommate, maybe get a pet an' make sure there's someone who'll look after 'im if ya leave? S'what I did when I got Tiger.

What're those you mentioned...radio an' television an' stuff?

voice;

[backseatangel]

Well... radio is like these voice posts. It can be a live transmission or it can be recorded and played back. Television is kinda like the video posts people make.

As for a pet... I wouldn't want to abandon it if I go home for awhile. It wouldn't be fair.

voice;

[freckleddoll]

Oh, yeah, I see! Those sound good t'give news out.

Yeah...yer right. Maybe I shouldn't 'ave gotten a pet.

voice;

[backseatangel]

Don't feel bad about the pet. My neighbors have pets, lots of people do, I just don't feel right personally is all.

[hastwonames]

Roommate?

voice;

[backseatangel]

Yeah, the ticking is starting to bother me and I have this empty room... are you looking for a place to stay, John?

voice;

[hastwonames]

Anthony said I could stay here, but the woman who lives here isn't right.

voice;

[backseatangel]

...isn't right?

[shutupsammy]

You shouldn't feel bad about saying something smartass. The point of everything funny ever is that it's funny because you shouldn't have said it, right?

That's the whole point of being a smartass. You're not making people feel like shit. You're just reminding them that they feel like shit. Sometimes it makes them pissed. Sometimes it makes them laugh.

I hope you find a reliable roommate. You won't mind if I pop over and check the place out to make sure it's secure, will you?

[backseatangel]

I kinda figured you would, Dean. I'll make sure to have some pie on-hand.

[shutupsammy]

Cherry?

And I feel like I should be objecting to that.

[backseatangel]

The cherry pie? Do I need to make the obvious joke and can we just assume I did and go past it?

Objecting to what? Me having a roommate, or you coming over?

[stokerwasahack]

The news hasn't been the same since television became mainstream. No one has the time to sit down and read anymore.

[backseatangel]

There is a nostalgia about the paper, isn't there? The dedicated reporters, chasing the story, the editors chasing deadlines. "Stop the presses!" All that.

[stokerwasahack]

I tend to think more along the lines of complete sentences, proper diction, the ability to spell and use punctuation.

[backseatangel]

I tend to like the smell of the ink and the texture of the paper. But those are good, too.
