The IRC is a silly, silly place.

One evening, in the #tpm channel, RavenD asked me to tell a story. I normally don't have much luck coming up with stuff on the fly, but then Caroline Baker provoked me:

[0:53] Caroline: I'm sorry, but Qui-Gon's kind of a wuss
[0:53] Fox: Qui-Gon's kind of a *wuss*?
[0:53] Fox: Aren't you the one who hasn't seen the movie?
[0:54] Caroline: yeah, but I can tell.
[0:55] Fox: Caro -- if you haven't seen the movie, you shouldn't go trashing my man QG.
[0:55] Fox: [g]
[0:55] Caroline: heh, no, you're right
* Fox prepares to defend Qui-Gon's honor
[0:56] Caroline: Fox: draw your saber!
[0:56] Caroline: that's the other thing. How much of a stud can you be if your weapon makes such a ridiculous noise?
[0:56] Caroline: <whung>
[0:56] Fox: Obi-Wan's weapon also makes a ridiculous noise
[0:57] Caroline: Yeah, but Qui-Gon's the only one who accidentally singes his girly hair with it
[0:57] Fox: All right, Caroline. EN GARDE!
