The Skateboard-and-Purse RinkShip

(I was in tech rehearsal for Guys & Dolls.)

ThePhan: Three, maybe four more hours of tech.
ThePhan: We're getting there!
LaZorra: THERE ARE ONLY THREE HOURS OF TECH LEFT?!
* LaZorra breaks down and cries.
LaZorra: But...there's so much potential, and I'm...I'm so young...a whole career ruined...
LaZorra: CIVILIZATION NEEDS TECH
TalkingDog: Huhwha?
LaZorra: WE CAN FIGHT AIDS
LaZorra: WE CAN LIVE ON MARS
* TalkingDog HUGS LaZ but he is not sure why!
LaZorra: But not if tech only has three hours left!
LaZorra: TD: LOL, I'm being ridiculous.
LaZorra: I haven't had coffee today, and it's showing. :-.
TalkingDog: Ohh, good. I was worried!
.

ThePhan: LOL, I just came back to the window to find I've destroyed LZ.
ThePhan: Time to clarify.
ThePhan: Only 3-4 hours left for Guys and Dolls tech day.
ThePhan: Technology will be sticking around awhile.
Sentynel: Phan: IT'S TOO LATE, SHE'S ALREADY STARTED THE DESTRUCTION OF TECHNOLOGY
* Sentynel is attempting to speed-read the entire internet in three hours.
LaZorra: TOPICBOT
LaZorra: OH WAIT TOPICBOT WILL NOT EXIST IN A FEW HOURS
LaZorra: I WILL MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH
ThePhan: We need to make that Rinkie commune NOW.
ThePhan: Decide where we're going to meet, and start walking.
Sentynel: Dude, if technology ends, I will have nothing better to do than build ye olde wooden boat and sail the Atlantic to go hang out with you.
LaZorra: IN CASE OF APOCALYPSE, HEAD TO THE RINKIE COMMUNE
ThePhan: I was thinking the same thing. With no tech, most Rinkies probably have nothing to lose by moving to the commune.
Sentynel: YES
TalkingDog: Make it a pirate ship, and I'll join your crew.
LaZorra: Sent: Your awesomeness just blew off the charts.
ThePhan: Most people's jobs will be eliminated.
LaZorra: If you need a navigator who can't tell left from right, I'm your girl.
Sentynel: LaZ: I ain't kidding, either.
Sentynel: LOL
Sentynel: I don't care about left and right, but if you can tell your port from your starboard, you're hired.
LaZorra: I know you aren't, which is why you're amazing!
TalkingDog: "No, the other port!"
LaZorra: DONE
* ThePhan thought that said "if you can tell your purse from your skateboard."
LaZorra: "You mean Barbados?"
LaZorra: LOL
LaZorra: I confuse my purse and my skateboard ALL THE TIME.
TalkingDog: I dreamt about skateboards last night. I was trying to flap them like wings and take off. It didn't work.
LaZorra: I'll just be standing there on the sidewalk, wondering why I'm not going anywhere, and then realize it's because I'm standing on my purse instead of my skateboard.
Sentynel: My ship will have a purse on one side and a skateboard on the other, and only people who get the joke will be allowed on board.
LaZorra: Or I'll get to the register at Starbucks and realize I have no cash because my wallet's in my purse, and I've got my skateboard under my arm.
iwpg: LOL
LaZorra: Sent: LOL!
ThePhan: Sent: LOL LOL
ThePhan: Allowed on skateboard?
* ThePhan has a mental image of a bunch of Rinkies desperately clinging to the skateboard on the side of the ship.
iwpg: Obviously the purse should be on the starboard side and the skateboard should be on the port.
* TalkingDog pictures other sailors seeing the purse and skateboard and adopting them as a new superstition until all boats everywhere have them.
Sentynel: This is gonna be the best apocalypse EVER.
Sentynel: Sailing the RinkShip around the world.
* TalkingDog tries to think what he'd name a ship if he had one.
.
.

ThePhan: DONE WITH TECH
* TalkingDog sighs and becomes a farmer.
ThePhan: LOL LOL
* ThePhan knows those jokes were all made earlier, but she still finds it hilarious.
