01. Contrary to rumors you might hear within the next hour, I’m alive.

02. How fast would you have to throw a beanie baby to kill someone with a headshot?

03. You got drunk, made toast, and declared yourself my pillow princess

04. if you like me you must not know who I am

05. it wasn't trespassing, per se. it was an unannounced wellness check of the property.

06. [BYOT.]

Explain.

That wasn't enough information?
Someone, or multiple someones, might start telling people I'm dead over the next couple days. I'm not actually dead.

Okay, but do I want to know why and is it something I'm helping you sort out in a few days?

How could I possibly decide what you want to know or not?
No, I think I might let the rumors persist longer than a few days. Treat it as a vacation.

Oh. Well let me know if you're going anywhere fun.

I'm thinking about throwing a dart at a map. I've never chosen a vacation spot before, but the internet says that's not a strange way to do it.

That depends

Are we talking one of the original 90s run, or one of the new ones with the big googly eyes and the sparkles.

One of the originals. The new ones hardly count as beanie babies.

I knew I liked you, ScarJunior.

But without the sharp plasticy edges, you're gonna need to really put some torque on that. Just pretend you're playing pitcher for the Blue Jays, you need to throw a heater down over the plate, and you don't want to disappoint me with every fiber of your being.

So not like the Blue Jays at all, actually.

If I comment on that strange nickname, am I just going to get a weirder one?

That is a very American example, and primarily useless to me. Although most sports would be more interesting if they were throwing things hard enough to potentially kill, so maybe you ought to tell that to the Blue Jays.

Very possibly. It's up to you to risk it.

Wow, hey. A very Canadian example, thank you. I expected you to know all about being overshadowed by a bigger, more famous older pseudo-sibling with a love of explosives and international conflict. And believe me, I've tried, but now I'm not allowed within 500 feet of the stadium and they stopped returning my calls.

I'll pass for now.

You were talking about baseball, yes? Americans have very definitively claimed baseball, unfortunately for your Blue Jays.
In order to be overshadowed, I would have to want to be in the light. I don't.
Unless I manage to weaponize a beanie baby. That would be cool to be known for.
