And look, all those non-TV watching men now have a holiday for them.

I watched a fair bit of Food Network before writing and shooting Charlie took over my life.

Huh? Are you kidding about that, Fell, or are you serious that you were involved in that?

Am I serious about the Food Network, about writing, or about shooting Charlie? All three, in fact, though I should probably point out that "shooting Charlie" refers to a Vietnam-based video game rather than a movie by the name of Charlie. Which I think was actually spelled Charly.

You're right, it was spelled Charly. It was just so unexpected to hear you might have been involved with that. Knowing that the game was named Shooting Charlie makes the sentence make much more sense--writing and Shooting Charlie, not writing and shooting Charly. Which, by the way, though a completely melodramatic movie, was not half-bad as far as Mormon film standards go.

Just wondering if there was a reason. I probably should have known better.

Oh, miss "set people on fire" since when do we need a reason to try and kill someone around here?  Actually if anything we should probably give him a medal for all the newbie dealings, which seem to have died down.

Like I said, I should have known better. And when has anyone actually admitted to feeling pain when I set them on fire? They're all a bunch of spoil sports.

Yes, a medal sounds nice.

I must admit getting really freaked out when i read that Fell was shooting me.

But yes, a medal is something i always recommend for myself.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
