"He is answering a question from a half hour ago!"
The pace of the conversations that occur in the "comments" section of trencherwomen.com kills me. And so does the obsequious tone of some of them. Here's my impression of a conversation between a couple of bootlicking eaters responsible for the treacly back-and-forths. The eaters in the script are based on no one in particular. They're composites, so don't get mad at The Whaler.
Eater A: You're great!
Eater B: You're great.
Eater A: No. You're great!
Eater B: Thanks. But you're great.
Eater A: You know what? You're great, and so is he.
Eater B: You're right. He is great.
Eater A: He's really great.
Eater B: I know. He is.
Eater A: (Bobbing his head and looking around awkwardly while typing) Yep. He is. And you're great.
Eater B: Thanks. But, hey, I've been thinking. We're all great.
Eater A: Yeah, you're right. We are all great. We're great!
Eater B: I love you.
Eater A: Let's have sex.
Eater C: Can I come?
Thank you! I'll be here all week.
