[This post actually comes a bit in the late morning/early noon Thursday.]

I don't got a mouthful of words like some other guys so I'll keep this short and sweet.

Where I'm from this is only a year old but I bet it's gonna be a classic.

[The sound of someone turning the stereo on because that someone doesn't really understand digital embedding. Look at least that's not an LP he's playing okay? Anyway this starts playing at full blast.

Somewhere in the middle of the song there may or may not be another guy yelling at him to turn it down (which he doesn't do, at all). And when the song's over...]

I gotta take out the garbage.

Did that come with a new bra too? Shaped like Big Ben?

If this was still the nineties, I wouldn't put it past her.

[orangetoughguy]

Is she still busy pissing off the church?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Nah. She went and converted to the Kabbalah, so she's probably pissing off a bunch of rabbis now.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

Well, I never followed her all that close anyway.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Who did you follow?

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

All kinds of stuff. Led Zeppelin, the Stones, Aerosmith, but I have a particular liking for Queen and my girls Joan Jett, Stevie Nicks, and the Wilson sisters

[Because it's okay to admit those last three to a woman...]

[It's okay, Freddy. You still retain your manhood even if you admitted it to a man.]

What about ZZ Top?

[She's curious, okay? Sheesh.]

[orangetoughguy]

I ain't the type to spread rumors around Texas but they ain't ever done wrong by me.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

You'll never leave Texas alive if you did.

Are you protective of the beard as much as I am of the bottomless mic stand?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Probably a little more than you'd think.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

I don't think I ever met a lady who has such a thing for ZZ Top. One in a million.

[Sound of disgust here. This is her FATHER, man.]

Don't call it a thing. It sounds gross.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

[Uhhhhhhhhhh. Sob confusion, he has it.]

Sorry, is it a platonic thing?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

[Sigh. She might as well spit it out.]

More like a relative thing.

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

Say what? [Oh yeah he thinks she's pulling his leg.]

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

You still never told me your name.

[No pulling of his leg, but if she tells him something personal about her, he needs to do the same in return.]

[orangetoughguy]

[This again? There's an audible sigh because Angela seems trustworthy but that's exactly the kind of person trouble would wanna visit if she did know his name. Some guys take no prisoners.]

It's a hard situation, Angela.

[thenormalsquint]

What, are you in the witness protection program or something? I mean, fine, keep your name a secret, I don't care, but I'm curious to why it's such big secret to begin with.

audio; private

[orangetoughguy]

[Much quieter now.]

It ain't no secret I showed up shot in the gut and close to the heart.

I left in the middle of a mess, I was dyin' back there.

audio; private

[thenormalsquint]

[Well that part's a secret to her. The things Angela misses when she's not trolling the network.]

And that's why you don't give out your name. Because you think the person who shot you will find you?

audio; private

[orangetoughguy]

No, I don't think that's possible.

[Seeing as how he shot her back and killed her.]

It's more complicated than that okay?

audio; private

[thenormalsquint]

He's my father.

[Fair trade.]

[It's almost anticlimactic or something or maybe Freddy isn't sure if she's joking but why would she be joking about this after his own honest delivery? Nonetheless, have a little disbelief in his tone.]

Really?

[Freddy's good at switching from serious to upbeat in a snap?]
