I Love the Smell of Geek Humor in the Morning!
Joelle said at some point on December 3, 2007
To preface this snippet of a post-code victory conversation with Deltus this morning, I had to first share with you our Yahoo messenger avatars.
Joelle: well, you will always be our hero. thank you for all you do, Deltus.Deltus: Welcome.
Deltus: Just, put in a good word for my avatar with your avatar, k?
Joelle: I’ll see what I can do.
Deltus: Kathy’s avatar, btw, said your avatar is a slut.
Joelle: that’s ok, her avatar has crabs
Deltus: My avatar hadn’t heard that.
Joelle: really? I heard her avatar got it from some new avatar in beta.
Joelle: you never know where they’ve been.
Deltus: Her avatar would be the good, proper choice for my avatar to want to go out with. It would make my mom’s avatar very happy. But it’s your avatar he really wants.
Deltus: My mom’s avatar would not be as pleased.
Then, a few minutes later:
Kathy: My avatar told Deltus’ avatar your avatar got the clap from this guy:![]()
Joelle: You bitch! That was supposed to be our secret!
I fully realize no one may be amused by that exchange other than the three of us, but it’s Monday. I’ll take amusement where I can get it.













This doesn’t truly convey the heartache of unrequited love felt by my avatar, though. It’s gut-wrenching. He knows he shouldn’t want your avatar, but he burns for her, and yet will never have her.

That is hilarious.
Ok, I find it funny. If for no other reason than the fact that (a) the second thing I thought of when I saw Kathy’s avatar was why she was scratching her crotch (the first thing was why she was standing in a snowy spot, but then I saw the other avatars and realized it was a fantasy thing), and (b) one of the bartenders behind my go-to bar over the weekend was talking about the time he caught the clap from some chick he wound up in bed with once. Classic!
I feel so bad about the unrequited love between the avatars. But I don’t really understand any avatar falling for another avatar that wears holiday sweaters. Yikes.

@Faith: That’s bordering on a Cosby Sweater, isn’t it?

I don’t get the sweater on what appears to be a tropical island, but I get geek humor. Too funny.
