Ford: i'm a writer
Ford: i want to be left alone in my house working on my script
Ford: if i spent all my time networking and not writing, i'd be successful with a shitty product
Ford: you are very useful as a conduit to a network of people
bradofarrell: Ford let me tell you about a poignant proverb about friendship called Mega Man EXE Battle Network 6: Cybeast Falzer and Gregar
Ford: :(
Ford: tell me all about it and i'll go back to writing for a little while
bradofarrell: In Mega Man EXE Battle Network 6: Cybeast Falzer and Gregar, a cyber beast, or, 'cybeast', named Gregar has formed out of the chaos of the Internet--the humans thought they could counter it by making their own cybeast, Falzer. But they could not beat chaos with chaos! The two cybeasts were evenly matched and fought endlessly, destroying the Internet! Then the humans had to seal it off inside it's own usenet server or something. LATER IN THE PRESENT (which is the future, to us!) a boy named Lan Hikari and his dead twin brother's (Hub Hikari) soul that was transplanted into a Tron-like program guy named Mega Man EXE. Because they were twin brothers, their souls were somehow inexplicably linked. Their father realized that if their DNA remained 100% the same, it actually put Lan in jeopardy, because he would feel sick whenever Mega Man got a virus! So he created a program that could toggle wether or not 0.0001% of Mega Man's digitized Hub Hikari DNA was inserted into him or not, because when it was, Lan and Hub would become linked! It put Lan in danger, but it made him stronger! Throughout their adventures, they realized that they could also link up with other people. This was previously unexplored because the twin brothers were the first to share such a connection, but it opened up channels for other human and AI souls to connect to them. AND THEN, THROUGH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP FROM ALL OF THEIR INTERNET FRIENDS, they were able to contain and defeat the cybeasts, because FRIENDSHIP can beat CHAOS. Ford. Don't be a fool and leave things to chance like the humans who tried to fight a cybeast with another cybeast, you have to fight your cybeasts with FRIENDSHIP.

I fucking love King of the Hill.
Peggy: (describing "Spin the Choice") Well, the game is pretty straightforward. You can choose to spin or you can choose to choose. If you choose to spin, you can land on spin, or choice, or lose a spin, or lose a choice, or free spin, or free choice, or spin again.
(John Redcorn arrives)
Nancy: I'll be right back.
Peggy: (to Luanne) She loves the game, but her ex-lover just showed up. Most players won't face such distractions.
