Practice threading for Distant Skies!

I'll not waste my breath pointing out the utter idiocy of your plans to join this game; such words are, to my way of thinking, trite by virtue of their inevitability. Yes, you - like nearly everyone else - have comparatively limited time. And, of course, you wish to play the martyr over this, agonize and complain, so that others will know just how busy and important you are. I'm not going to enable such self-indulgent behavior.

Rather, I'll merely tell you this: if you think you're so utterly and terribly busy, if you think that you've so little time, then don't waste it further with whining. Instead, make it count. I've no use for someone who will dither rather than be a productive member of society.

Name the first emperor of Rome.

[allucinator]

Why should I? He won't help me not starve tomorrow.

[jurisimpudent]

What, do you not have a job predicated on that stellar intelligence of yours? Shocking.

[allucinator]

I have a job that relies on me gettin' up in the mornin' and doin' a day o' honest work. Somethin' I'm sure you don't know nothin' about.

[jurisimpudent]

Hmph. What time do you get up?

[allucinator]

Five AM, bucko. You?

[jurisimpudent]

Four. What time do you go to sleep?

[allucinator]

What are you, a fancy baker? And eleven o' so.

[jurisimpudent]

Hmph. Unimpressive. I go to bed at midnight.

[allucinator]

You get four hours o' sleep every night.

[jurisimpudent]

So he can do math.

[allucinator]

Ooh, wow, that hurt. So you're tellin' me you can actually run on four hours a sleep per night-- no, you little liar, you can't, can you? You just made sure you were a little better than me.

[jurisimpudent]

Of course I can. Shall I prove it to you?

[allucinator]

Oh, please do.

[jurisimpudent]

I just did.

[allucinator]

And where's your proof you slept four hours the past few nights?

[jurisimpudent]

I'm awake and functioning now, am I not?

[allucinator]

And where's your proof you slept four hours the past few nights?, I said, not where's your proof you're awake now? God, you're dumb.

[jurisimpudent]

Do you hear me speaking?

[allucinator]

I do! I just don't see where the proof is you stayed up the night before.

[jurisimpudent]

Then I'm not "dumb," idiot!

[allucinator]

[Calmly and arrogantly:]

You are, actually, if you think that proves your point.

[jurisimpudent]

Dumb means that you cannot speak. Learn words.

[allucinator]

No, it doesn't.

[jurisimpudent]

Yes it does.
