The following happened recently (okay, today) in this thread at sakeriver.
So I set up an out-of-context thread. Originally, I titled it “sakeriver OoC thread” forgetting that in gaming, it’s an abbreviation out of character, as well as in fanfic.
I changed the title to the full version and posted a comment about it. Other comments soon followed.
mackillian: Oh, for the love of pete.
rivka: I actually liked the ambiguity. (And his name is Nathan, hon, not Pete.)
mackillian: It is?! Oh NOES!!!*
TheTick: Maybe she was talking about his…never mind
It gave me an idea. I will start calling nathan Pete and see how long it takes him to get it, or how long it takes it to drive him crazy, whichever comes first.
*the oh noes is from a book I’m currently reading (Cell by Stephen King, which I shall post about once I’m finished).

Drat. I can’t reply to this over on lj or I will give away my secret identity!
Anyway, why is it that when you repeat what I say it sounds stupid? (Bonus points for naming the citation. Double bonus points for specifying the episode, and triple if you know how many minutes in it is.)
