So if you're talking about the newly unplugged, do you say "floppy baby" or "noodle"?

Personally I like floppy baby. It's way more universal.




And to all you newborn floppy noodle babies out there: hi and welcome.

Bald and a little whiny and stupid, yeah.

Good choice.

[scission]

I was thinking more the concept of rebirth. Or is that too philosophical for this conversation?

[axeyou]

I hate philosophy.

But I don't like babies very much either, so I think it actually goes together pretty well.

[scission]

Real babies, or the newly unplugged? Though I suppose pointing out that you were one, once, applies to both.

[axeyou]

The difference is, if someone had tried calling me a floppy baby, when I was first unplugged? I'd have stabbed them in the hand.

And it's both. Real babies and the newly unplugged. I've earned that right.

[alsohawkeye]

I'm not sure how you think you'd have managed stabbing when you almost gave yourself a concussion just trying to punch me.

[axeyou]

[NOT COOL]

[axeyou]

I'd have waited. Obviously.

[scission]

[Well this just got kind of awkward. Ignoring Kate's joining the conversation would probably be worse, though.]

Teeth from the start, then? You must have had your hands full.

[ not missing a chance to poke at Johanna's hardass image sorry ]

Yes and no. She was so scrawny I think I would've only needed one to pick her up.

[axeyou]

You really think you're funny, don't you

[alsohawkeye]

It's important to be able to laugh at yourself, Johanna.

[axeyou]

Is this because I didn't go for FNB

Because this won't change my mind

[scission]

I'd imagine they wouldn't much enjoy the experience either.

[The babies and the newly unplugged, that is.]

Especially if stabbing hands is your first instinct for that situation.

[axeyou]

No, I'm a lot nicer now.

[scission]

Nice enough to work on nicknames for our new arrivals.

[axeyou]

I like to make everyone feel welcome. I hope it's working.

[scission]

I'm sure you're making an impression, either way.

[axeyou]

I sure hope so. That's the other thing I like. Making impressions.
