A little fun for the unplugged among us. Name one thing from your Matrix and other people can say if they heard of it in theirs. Maybe find a little common ground.

I'll start: New York City.

He's a Brooklynite, it's true.

[retrofire]

Oh, I know

[ Wait is that creepy. Pull it back, man. ]

So what's the story with you guys?

[ex_spins462]

He's my sidekick.

[ex_paragon697]

Don't lie.

I only help you out sometimes.

[ex_spins462]

Enough that you qualify, I think.

[ex_paragon697]

I don't fit into my old tights anymore.

[retrofire]

Okay a) not buying it
b) you're obviously a certified badass anyway. Congratulations.

[ex_spins462]

Thanks.

So how about you?

[retrofire]

Am I a certified badass? Absolutely.

[alsohawkeye]

You're so 80s it's painful.

1/2

[retrofire]

I think you mean "awesome".

What year are you from anyway

[retrofire]

Sorry, that's "what arbitrary timestap from a fictional reality that definitely doesn't exist or hold any sentimental value" are you from

fingers slipped

My code prison was timestamped 2014 when I was freed from the hellish machine construct known as New Year's Day, heroically saved from the cruel torture of a hangover.

[retrofire]

Nice.

Although obvious sarcasm aside, I'd probably take a hangover over waking up in people juice.

[alsohawkeye]

Yeah, the post-people-juice brunch options really don't measure up.

...the Ark of the Covenant like in the Bible? I am really curious about why you asked.

(We had Gilligan's Island.)

[retrofire]

The Bible's the one that melts your face off, right?

and you have my deepest condolences.

[emptychamber]

It's been awhile since Sunday School, but I think it was supposed to kill you, yeah. I don't remember face-melting being specified.

Ok, look, not everything can be Masterpiece Theater.

[retrofire]

Good, because Masterpiece Theater sucks.

And the face melting was more of an Indiana Jones thing than a Sunday School thing. If it'd been a Sunday School thing, I probably would've paid more attention.

[emptychamber]

What's Indiana Jones? I don't think we have that one.

[retrofire]

I feel so bad for you right now

You can't just describe Indiana Jones. Maybe we can get some matrix time with him, sometime. Under the radar.

[emptychamber]

I would like to state for the record that I am firmly anti having my face melt off.
