"You call punk style "steampunk"?"

"Yes. It's a fictional dialect!"

"Uh-huh… uh, what media?"

"Uhh… Final Fantasy?"

"Really? Well, I'm a Final Fantasy I fan, and I never saw anyone use the "steampunk" style."

"Oh, not in I, no. It's a Final Fantasy IX style."

"I see." "You know, this style is quite similar to the one they have at Bioshock."

"Oh ho ho ho… no, patented The Eidolon steampunk. Classic videogame aesthetic."

"For steampunk?"

"Yes."

[points at real-life electric invention on table] "Yeah, so you call it "steampunk" despite the fact it is obviously teslapunk."

"Ye- hey- you know, the- one thing I should- excuse me for one second."

"Of course."

[YAWN] "Well, that was educational. A good learning experience was had by all, I'm pooped."

"Yes, I should be- Good Lord, what is happening in there!?"

"Proof that vaccines cause autism?"

"Uh- proof that vaccines cause autism!? At this unrelated meme, at this particular line, in this part of the internet, localized ENTIRELY within your shitpost!?"

"Yes!"

"May I see it?"

"…no."

"Seymour, this kid is dying!"

"No, mother--it's just euphoric healthiness"

"Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but I must say… your steampunk is good."

[kid spazzes on floor] "Help! Heeeeeelp!"

it's always so much fun to read these while doing Chalmers and Skinner impressions. Doubly fun when you're alone and have to play two roles, and anyone else in the house either hears a conversation between strangers or a crazy guy talking to himself like a Simpsons Gollum.
