And Now an Installment of "We Shoulda Talked Like This"

(Scene: gnomi has just gotten a sudden invitation in e-mail for an around-the-corner visit; mabfan is napping on the bed.)

What the conversation should have been:

gnomi: Wake up, mabfan! We're going to elul_3 and joules314's!

mabfan: [Half asleep] Like hell I am. What for?

gnomi: For the carrot cake and conversation!

[mabfan gets up and marches off right behind gnomi]
