Senad Snippets
by Winds-of-Dawn #1. Alyjude wanted the guys, ten years from now, in less than 200 words. Not sure how many words this is, but...
"Stay in the truck, Chief""Damnit Jim. I'm not letting you go in there without backup."
"Chief..."
"Don't you dare, Jim. Remember last time? What if you zone again?"
"Come on, Chief, that was..."
"I had to come in and get you out. I'm NOT doing that again."
"..."
"..."
"Damn it, Chief, do you always have to be so bossy?"
"Yup, and you love me."
"..."
"Get out of the truck, Jim, let's go do it."
"Partners, Chief?"
"Always, man."
The two men got out of the truck and headed toward the supermarket.
#2. Somebody asked on Senad:
I tuned into the History Channel two nights ago and heard a commercial that made me think. The question in the spot was "If you could go back into time, back into history, and become anyone at all, who would it be?"
So here's my question.... Who would Jim say and who would Blair say?
"Jim?""hmm?"
"If, you know, you could go back in time, and be anyone you want, who would you like to be?"
"What kinda question is that, Chief?"
"Oh, it was just something I saw on the History Channel, it was one of those promotional spots they have advertising their own programming."
[blink, blink]
"Well? Jim? Whaddaya say?"
"Uh, I dunno, Chief, that's kinda not..."
"Aw, come on, Jim, there must be some place, some event, that you want to be, that, you know, you wonder what it would have been like to be there?"
"Well, if you put it that way..."
"Yeah? What?"
"It would be neat, to be around at the time of the American Revolution. Be one of George Washington's close aides, maybe, to see what kind of a stragetist he really was, you know?"
"Yeah, hey that's cool. Anything else?"
"Hey, I went already, your turn."
"Me?"
"Yeah, you. No fair just quizzing me. You gotta share, too."
"Well, ahem, that is..."
"And don't say Sir Richard Burton, unless you mean the actor, not the explorer."
"I wasn't going to say that."
"Yes you were."
"No I wasn't."
"You were."
"I wasn't"
"Were."
"Come on, Jim, that'll be no fun, it's too obvious!"
"Well, I'm waiting."
"Well, ahem, [mumble]"
"What was that? I didn't hear you."
"...your mom."
"What did you say????"
"Forget it, it's stupid."
"No, Chief, come on, did you say my mom? MY MOM?"
"...."
"Why? Oh, come on Chief, don't."
"it'sjustastupididea"
"Hey, come on, Chief, you are the smartest person I know."
"um,"
"Come on, I won't laugh, whatever it is, you can tell me, ok?"
"well, it's just that..."
"yeah?"
"If I were your Mom, I could be there when you were born, you know."
"...."
"see, stupididea."
"No, Chief, that's... That's..."
[shrug]
"I... Blair, you know... I, I don't want to be any other time, anyone else. Because, if, you know, I wasn't who I am, what I am now, I, heck Chief, all I want really, is for us to be us, you know?"
"oh"
"Blair?"
"luv u, jim"
"ditto, chief, ditto."
#3. Don't remember who asked this, either:
In a one paragraph snippet, tell us how Blair's week with Jim was extended.
Jim sat up and poked the curly-headed object lying next to him."hmmmmm?" mumbled the object.
"Chief, it's been ten years."
"Ten years since what?"
"Since you moved in."
[blink blink] "So?"
"So... I just realized it."
"Realized wha..." [yawn] "...at?"
"You are still here."
"Hm, yes I am. Now, go back to sleep, it's three o'clock. Geesh."
Jim tried to remember what point he was trying to make, shrugged, and did as he was told.
#4. A senad list member, who shall remain nameless, introduced this website to senad. A few other list members, who shall also remain nameless, went, shall we say, a bit overboard... What? Me? Never! :p
"Jim? Are you coming to bed?""In a minute, Blair."
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing. I'll be there in a sec."
"Jiiiiim."
"Just a sec, one more minute."
"Jim! What are you doing? Magic Fairy Names? What's this?"
"It's just a stupid program. You type in your first and last names, and it gives you this Fairy Name, and some characteristics of that fairy."
"And you've been doing this for how long?"
"Hey! I just wanted to figure out how this program worked. See, what matters is the first two letters of the names. The first two letters of the first name determines what you get as the first part of your Fairy Name, and the first two letters..."
"Okay, so you figured it out! Can we go to bed now?"
"Well..."
"What?"
"I just want to see how many elements they're actually using. I mean with 26 letters in the alphabet, that's 26 x 26, or or 676 possible combinations. Well some of them, like "aa," repeat, so it's actually less, but..."
"Jim. You. Are. Turning. Off. That. Machine. NOW and coming to bed. Understood?"
"But..."
"JIM"
"Okay, okay, it's off, see?"
"Okay."
"Blair? What are you doing with the laptop?"
"I'm putting in a password so you won't come down in the middle of the night and start playing with this website again."
"Come on, I wouldn't do that, Chief. ... You know I wouldn't. ... Chief? Come on, Blair, don't do that, please? Please?"
