Loner Lawson: <link>
Pain In The Ass: What's this?
Loner Lawson: A link.
Pain In The Ass: Oh, a link? Really? I couldn't have guessed.
Loner Lawson: Its for this game...
Pain In The Ass: Why?
Loner Lawson: A game is something normal people play for recreational purposes.
You do know what recreation is, right?
Pain In The Ass: Very funny. Haha.
Loner Lawson: It's free.
Pain In The Ass: I still don't understand why you're inviting me to join some-
Is that a restaurant game?
Loner Lawson: I need points, to buy a new burger-making machine, and to get them, I need to invite someone to join the game.
Pain In The Ass: Basic consumerist, capitalist technique.
It's the carrot part of the carrot and the stick.
Loner Lawson: I'll pretend that I understood that.
Just download it, I'll get the points and then you can delete it.
Pain In The Ass: But what if it's a virus? I don't trust you.
Loner Lawson: It's not.
Pain In the Ass: Uh-uh
Loner Lawson: Download it.
Pain In The Ass: Will this make you work for the assignment?
Loner Lawson: Yes ;)
Pain In The Ass: Promise you're going to work on the assignment the minute I download it?
Loner Lawson: Of course!
Pain In The Ass: Done :D
