TT: Dave, have you cast even a passing glance across a calendar lately?
TT: Noted the indelible passage of time and all of the implications associated therewith?
TT: Spent a few solitary moments pondering how not only are we a day closer to our inevitable deaths, but that far more pressingly, we have an AP US Government assignment due tomorrow?
TT: ...
TT: Dave.
TT: Dave.
TT: David Strider.

TG: holy shit woman i go to take a dump and you are blowing up my computer like whoa
TG: im all like dropping the kids off at the pool and you expect me to forsake my sacred parental duties in order to cater to your every whim
TG: this is no way to treat your cherished wife and mother of your children
TG: who are enjoying their swimming lessons and might just make it to the regional swim meet
TG: if only their father would show a bit more interest in their activities you know maybe pat them on the back once in a while and say 'way to go my little champs and champ-ettes'
TG: 'i believe in you'
TG: ...
TT: Are you quite done?
TG: yea
TT: Were you honestly taking a dump for over two hours?
TG: i might have done a few crossword puzzles
TG: so sue me
TT: Not to mention the startling display of not only sexism but, not to put too fine a point on it, 'daddy issues' on rampant display in your latest tirade.
TG: oh my fucking christ are we working on ap gov or ap psych here
TG: you get one textbook and think youre the divinely-appointed expert on the subject
TT: You know full well that I was an expert long before we entered the hallowed halls of secondary academia.
TT: Plus, the Gods that ordained me with my spectacular competencies in the subject of the human psyche do not take kindly to your referring to Them lightly.
TG: do you have a point
TT: Not really.
TT: ...
TT: So, should we do this thing?
TG: guess we'd better

TG: sup
TT: Ah, you have once again decided to grace me with your conversational presence.
TT: I can only imagine that the last forty minutes were dedicated to the noble pursuit of our shared academic project.
TG: and how
TG: i spent a lot of thought towards what soundtrack would really showcase the dramatic tension embodied by the constitution

TT: Oh my fuck.
TT: I am not wont to use emoticons or playful acronyms indicating my emotional state, but suffice it to say that I am snorting in undignified laughter at the moment.
TT: LMFAO, if you will.
TT: Enjoy this rare moment of my appreciating your creative genius, Strider.
TG: shut up baby i know it
TT: I am sure the moment will fade soon enough as we continue to apply ourselves to this assignment.
TG: come on and shoot baby shoot
TG: come on and slam
TG: and welcome to the jam
TG: slam bam thank you maam
TT: Are you quite done?
TG: yea i guess
TG: cant promise i wont bust out with these maddest of rhymes at stochastic intervals
TT: I would expect no less, honestly.
TT: Wave your hands in the air if you feel right. We gonna take it into overtime.
TG: now youre gettin into the spirit
TT: So. In terms of, you know, actual productive content, I was thinking we could borrow from the 'auteur' film tradition, something like Goddard meets Fellini.
TG: i got like 45 mins of b&w footage of a raccoon eating a whole sushi tray from the dumpster
TG: think we could squeeze that in
TT: Oh, absolutely. The raccoon will symbolize the hedonism embodied by the American lifestyle, as facilitated by that hallowed document underlying our public life.
TG: i also got some time lapse shit of a crow decaying on the roof
TG: it gets all swollen with maggots like whoa
TG: i was gonna put it in a jar but then i said to myself 'no, let nature take its course'
TG: 'document the process' etc
TT: I am sure we can find a way to work it in.
TT: Truly the bloated corpse of a member of the family Corvidae would not be remiss in a film about the US Constitution.
TT: Would it be too heavy-handed to segue into a metaphor for Southern segregation?
TT: I am a sucker for puns. I am not proud.
TG: sound pretty proud to me
TG: plus of course you know the latin name for crows
TG: did your eldritch gods teach you that little factoid
TG: i mean Eldritch Gods
TG: sorry
TT: I learned that one under my own aegis, I am sorry to admit.
TG: so are we gonna get an a on this or what
TT: I have no doubts on the matter.
