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.

How do you know I haven't? Maybe I'm Justin Timberlake.

well Justin Timberlake has taste and would never doubt the quality of 1984

No, he wouldn't do it because of PR and his career doesn't matter out here. Nothing does. ;)

he wouldn't do it because that cd was perfection

It's been about four for me. I can try to sing you some Britney Spears if you really want, but it's not going to be pretty.

depending on what era of britney we're talking about, it probably wasn't pretty when she sang it either

Get me a drink and I'll sing an uncanny rendition of Toxic. You'll also need a drink for the effect to work, of course.

wow making plans for karaoke night, and I still don't even know what to call you.
or is that all part of your master plan to keep britney spears from being your new rep

Quake, I might just owe you an embarrassing karaoke night to make up for insulting your music.

[hacker]

If I say yes, am I gonna regret it?

[onthepoint]

Your ears might, but I think you'll survive the experience relatively unscathed otherwise.

All right. I'm in. Pick the place, and we can meet.

I have to pick up some booze at the marketplace if you want to meet me down there in a couple of hours. I found a guy with stuff you'd almost want to drink sober.

Wow talk about rave review.
Don't laugh at me for being a lightweight, all right? I'm a month out.

I've been out longer, but I wasn't drinking for a while there. You're in good company as long as you don't throw up on my shoes. :)

text.

[hacker]

There is an 85% chance that I won't throw up on your shoes.

text.

[onthepoint]

That's a risky gamble, but I'll take it.

I really wouldn't know, but if you figure it out, let me know if it's as boring as it sounds.
