[Mr. Tea]

Are you quite clean yyaldrin? I have a shower every day as a rule.

[Mr. Tea]

I bet you took charge, acting like Sherlock Holmes in there.

The funny thing is, Holmes's powers of deduction are supposed to stem mainly from his amazing powers of observation, and I am quite comically unobservent.

 

[version]

We're at the stage where people are now so broken they're paying to be locked up just so they can try to escape.

How long before they're paying to be hunted?

How long before they're paying to be hunted?

You sound like someone's dad at this point

 

[version]

I can picture Rogan and his ilk paying to be chased cross country by ex-military personnel as a survival and endurance thing.

Lately I've been showering twice a week. Up in the desert there is no shower, save for a bag with a nozzle. I generally just use these strangely oversized baby wipes. Plus a washcloth with hot water. Mountain hygiene.

Manhunt! Can you cross the border before we catch you?

 

[constant escape]

Manhunt! Can you cross the border before we catch you?

It can be sponsored by that techwear company.

 

[constant escape]

They catch you, heart pounding, only for you to jolt awake in a sensory deprivation tank.

 

[constant escape]

Woah! One more time!

 

[constant escape]

Imagine being pursued by a legion of these people, all equipped no doubt with a convenient arsenal of gadgets to foil your escape.

 

[Mr. Tea]

It can be sponsored by that techwear company.

That, and Monster energy drinks.

 

[constant escape]

That, and Monster energy drinks.

Was this intentionally referencing Death Stranding? Strange and persistent product placement for Monster energy drinks in that game.

edit: there was some connection between the techwear company and the game, but I forget what. Hence why I assumed you were making that reference.

Oh, not at all, they just seemed obviously culturally convergent. Products for people who want to squeeze every possible drop of performance out of their bodies, in the same way some people are about their car or PC.

 

[constant escape]

Yeah that adds up.

About to have my shower.

 

[Mr. Tea]

About to have my shower.

Are you going to get completely naked for it, like some kind of crazy maverick with total disregard for all forms of convention, decency and common sense?

 

[luka]

What I do is, towards the end of my naked shower, I turn it to maximum cold, for a minty ice blast and leave it like that for a few minutes. That's how you build manliness and virility. I love it. Very invigorating.

 

[luka]

A bit like this except standing in a bathtub

 

[Mr. Tea]

Puritan! Why not beat yourself with some birch rods while you're at it!
