Chicks, man

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

When you're like, "Innocuous thing that we've laughed about together many times before..."

and she's like,

"annnnnnGEEERRRRRR ANGER"

and you're like,

"If I wanted to make you mad, I would have told you how many times I've fantasized about you and your lesbian friend in college."

Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

Jack's like "You could do this thing"

and I'm like, "hey, you know, I could do this thing. I could."

(Already starting to sound like Mamet.)

GIT YO GAME ON

Like Grimlock with a vendetta against Shockwave.

Like Galvatron with a master plan.

Like John Barber with a derailed plot.
