Me: Oh, by the way... just so you're not alarmed at a $40 charge that may appear on the AMEX...
Her: [a pained look of resignation]
Me: I bought a hoodie today.
Her: [relief] Oh, a Temple Hoodie?
Me: [taken aback] No... [brightens] It's a black zip up hoodie that says "1337" across the front!
Her: How is is spelled...? L E E T?
Me: [a bit shocked] No, it's spelled in numbers. Like 1 3 3 7.
Her: What does it mean?
Me: LEET. Like e-leet. Like elite hackers. You know, that's what hackers say, like how they talk. When they spell it.
Her: [rolling eyes] I guess I wouldn't know, since I don't hang out with any "1337" hackers.
Me: Oh yes you do.
Her: Who?
Me: Me, baby!
Her: [incredulous exasperation] What was the last thing you hacked, you retard?!?!?!?
For the record: the last thing I hacked was a PERL script that makes web pages from the files on a streaming server. I wrote it myself with only minimal code stealing quoting from other scripts. The second version let you pick the background color!
cute!!! btw, your fonts rock the house! thank you :^)
