Duck vs. Technology

01 December 2004

My friends crack me up. This is part of an actual IM conversation I had with my friend Raphael last night.

He's 32 31.

I nearly shot water out my nose.

RAPHAEL: dood, u simmin tonight?
ME: nah
ME: gonna go shower in a bit
RAPHAEL: shower ur sim instead!
ME: ha ha
ME: Um....
ME: but...
ME: I NEED TO SHOWER
RAPHAEL: why are u stinky?
ME: You know how sometimes you just want to shower cuz you'll feel all relaxed and snuggly?
ME: and also cuz you're a bit cold?
RAPHAEL: oh yea, but i prefer a tepid bath in that situation
ME: that's boring
RAPHAEL: WHAT?!
RAPHAEL: it isnt boring if you have bath-tub toys!
ME: Oooooh
ME: TOYS!
ME: I want toys!
RAPHAEL: all you need is a rubber duckie...an empty bottle of shampoo and a transformer!! then you can have a sea battle!
ME: OMG
ME: that sounds AWESOME
RAPHAEL: it totally is...my transformer usually wins...he uses the shampoo bottle as a torpedo and blows up the duckie!
RAPHAEL: but sometimes... the duckie flies over the torpedo and squashes the transformer

MORE with the shower? Do you ever come out?
But I agree with Raphael - baths are best - I'm usually accompanied by a couple of squirty floating whales, and it's a great place to lay back, relax, read for a while (don't drop the book in the bath!), drink a cup of tea - and they're even better and more relaxing by candlelight.
Baths are a pleasure - showers have always been a bit too businesslike for me - get in, get washed, get out - whereas I'll soak in the bath for at least half an hour, lazing and reading. Luxury!

I'm going to side with Maggs. Showers are better.

I can't sit still long enough for a bath. Plus my tub is too small to bathe a mouse.

Besides I get all of my good ideas in the shower. I must have written half of my novel in there.
