I've been fine ever since my kazoo transplant in Ot 6

[evocation]

in what?
is that nerd speak?

[wittingly]

you wouldn't understand, young lady
it was before your time

how old are you?

[evocation]

12

[wittingly]

fuck I've been dateline'd
those mikes hard lemonades were for me

[evocation]

you're going to jail for making dick jokes around me

[wittingly]

every time I said dick to you it's been short for Richard
I'm not sure where all of this is coming from

[evocation]

uh huh
don't worry, i'm 25
you're safe

[wittingly]

34
still old enough to be your father
no wonder you know nothing about good music
damn millennial youths

[evocation]

do a lot of people have kids when they're 9 where you're from?

[wittingly]

classic reverse dateline
it's an epidemic

those nine year olds come in and then it turns out they've been carrying a nintendo switch in the dashboard of their razor scooter

you wouldn't believe the nerve

[evocation]

i officially have no idea what you're talking about
what year is it where you're from?

[wittingly]

what seriously
well
kind of a complicated question, so um

the Judge touched down in late 2018, everything sort degraded really rapidly over 4 or 5 months and then

no satellites, metal's too risky so minimal generators, no cell phones, lots of alcohol as a coping mechanism, and it also sort of stopped mattering when it was Tuesday or when it was Blorbsday or whatever

Start kind of being like a 'what season is it' thing, and I think we went through... two? falls?

so

I don't know, 2019?

[evocation]

jesus
i'm sorry
that's fucking awful

[wittingly]

let's establish a blanket ground rule where you really don't have to apologize

otherwise I'm gonna feel weird telling you about all the alien murder and how they fucking took Starbucks from me

[evocation]

you can have one of the 15 thousand we have in my version of new york
but okay, no more sorrys

[wittingly]

wow where's your empathy

[evocation]

it's 2030 where i'm from, so i'm gen z
we don't have empathy

[wittingly]

wow you should've mentioned that
I'm actually old enough to be your great great grand pappy

[evocation]

i'll get you a walker
you sure you can push the button on that detonator with all your arthritis?

[wittingly]

I have it wired to a LifeAlert necklace

wait

shit, okay, is that before your time?
flex seal?
shamwow?
head on, apply directly to the forehead?
oxyclean?
vince with slap chop

did any of that survive the test of time

[evocation]

oh my god
yes
i'm 25 not 3
plus the internet exists

[wittingly]

so infomercials are a yes
razor scooters and hand held gaming devices are a no
this is a fascinating glimpse into cultural relevance

i wonder what this says about us as a species

[evocation]

i know what razor scooters and switches are
i just didn't get the dumb joke you were making

[wittingly]

am I out of touch?
no, it's the children who are wrong

whatever tiny baby human

oh hey by the way if you didn't see some guy asking for people to Do Something Impactful you might wanna check the network and see if that's up your 'doing shit' alley
