Trying Too Hard

The following is a real gchat between Matty and Becky. It's chock full of wit and insight, and trying too hard. This is very special and behind the scenes, like, more behind the scenes than that time P. Diddy video blogged himself peeing. I thought about editing it to make it more interesting, but that'd be dishonest and I'm all about truth in comedy and thinking about writing a book about that. I did add visual aids.

Becky: let's have a funny gchat conversation and then post it on the UCB Comedy blog

all the hip people do that

and... scene.

me: how's the data job?

Becky: you mean... my data job with the president on the moon?

it's okay

(that's anti-heightening)

me: no it's less than just okay, it's so-so

(that's a heightened anti-heightening)

so i'm personally glad we finally attacked the moon

Becky: me too

me: it'll make us better prepared for triffid attacks

Becky: hang on i need to google triffid

holy shit

me: it's a plant that makes everyone blind and attacks, but also from space

Becky: triffids are scary

me: if i remember correct

yeah

shyah

Becky: yeah you're right

Do you know what else I'm scared of?

Humanzees

me: i don't need to google that to know it's terrifying

Becky: like, i'm afraid i'll give birth to one

me: yeah it'd be terrifying

a cross between a hummer, an ant, a zebra, and bees

Becky: i know- a horrible carbon footprint mixed with the least adorable animals

me: hey, zebras are dark-horse cute animals

they'll surprise you

just kidding, they're not dark, they have stripes

hahahahahahahaha

Becky: oh, rofl! i missed it! I instead watched "Rofl and a Half Rofl" on my DVR last night

me: that show's been downhill ever since the third rofl

Becky: i know, but i still like it

it makes me roll on the floor laughing

I also really like How I Met Your GPOYW

me: i do not know what that means

but i chose to read it phonetically and leave it at that

Becky: ok

one more thing

I never told you this before

My favorite movie is What's Eating Gilbert GPOYW

Admittedly, we lost it at the end there. And what was that, a political cartoon? That was pretty unacceptable.
