Can you make me funny?
HA!!
Oh. You didn't mean like that, did you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

All is well that ends in pizza.
there's this whole freaky phenomenon where tons of people act as if google or yahoo or whatever *is* the internet, and type in whatever they want there whether they know the URL or not.

I can't begin to tell you how many times I've had to talk people through the address to a site with a solution and have to explain to them what an address bar is.
Similar areas of clueless:
1. AOL users using AOL search.
2. people clicking "search" in Netscape/etc. rather then simply hitting Enter.
One workaround I ended up doing if the caller seemed too clueless early on? Tell them to click "start...run" and enter in the address and click "ok"

What is even happening?
We're getting close to needing a Natter 24.
I want to make some sort of 24 suggestion (preferably one that evokes wibble-inducing-when-whispering Jack Bauer), but I don't know if we have all that many 24 watchers here, these days. I know Jessica and Sean watch.

I'm a 24 watcher. How about "Natter 24: Die, Kim, Die"? Another approach would be: "Natter 24:Seven."

I suppose Natter 24: Whisper, Jack! Whisper! only works for me. But does it. Ever.
I predict Die, Kim, Die will be immensely popular.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I don't get it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like Natter 24:Seven. Or perhaps Natter 24: WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR!!!?!?! (but that's a bit S1) Or Natter 24: The longest conversation of your life.
Or something.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't watch the show, but doesn't Jack say, "Who are you working for?" a lot? Usually in conjunction with throwing someone against a wall?
I was also thinking something like "3:00 AM - 4:00 AM: Why Are We Still Up?"

x-post with ita answers my question! Oh, and I like "The longest conversation of your life."

Natter 24: * withdraw from heroin while on a few life-defying-several-times-over missions, in 24 hours or less is probably a bit too clunky, huh? *
