Absence of clever

b1-66er: What event is that?

(It has no header. )

Oh it's a joke. 

Har. 

Special K: What event? What?

b1-66er: Exactly. 

K: I didn't text you anything about an event. 

I don't know what you mean. 

b1: 2020 canceled

That. 

Har again. 

K: Ah. 

I sent that 5 hours ago. Did it just land?

b1: Yes. 

Bad jokes propagate slowly. 

I show: sent 16:02; received 20:49.

K: Yow. 

You're the boss of me now, and you're not so big

Special K: I'm about to meet with my new boss. Did I mention he works in Boulder? He does.

He has a degree in bible studies. I should tell him what we're reading.

(I'm behind.)

b1-66er: Do. 

Let me know what he sez.

I suspect he already knows about it. 

K: I don't know if I should mention the Bible reading thing, because I don't remember how I found that out. Maybe he doesn't want anybody  to know.

b1: He'll be interested in talking about it. Even if briefly...

I suggest starting the conversation with. "Just so we're clear, I'm from the chosen tribe. "

K: Oh hell yes.

More melted than a Snickers

b1-66er: "State Department Tells U.S. Citizens Not To Travel Abroad"

Special K: That's big.

b1: Right. I only inform you big. 

Pandemics, State department, Taco Bell...

...... there is no other news. 

K: You have a high bar. I have a fu bar.

Where's the vice grips...

The Actore: I think the issue isn't the lethality of the disease, it's the lack of hospital facilities and ventilatorsthat could ramp up the lethality from 2 to 20% of ppl who get it.

b1-66er: Yes. 

That's what we're trying to smooth. 

TA: But that doesn't factor in the infinite b1-6xer series stubbornness.

b1: It's simultaneously our greatest strength and greatest weakness...

Sole survivors standing on a pile of rubble with a USB cable that only works, "if you hold it like this. "

All signs point to "K"

The Fembot: I am enjoying the arch and ktxt.

b1-66er: I've never been so active...

Even eclipses my Haiku Years. 

Special K's losing his mind, which makes it better. 

F: You two do write entertaining stuff! 

b1: We're glad you think so.

F: I know you do it mostly to amuse yourselves, but I appreciate it, too.  It is a good look inside your minds... kinda like the 24HOTV sessions.

b1: Exactly. 

F: Now you are both just weird all the time, without lack of sleep and bad TV.

b1: Good observation. 

K will love that. 

F: I am sure you will share with him.  Someday I would like to meet him in person.  Does he come to DenCo, now that his MIL has died?

b1: Not as much. His brother still lives there.
You'll meet him.

Special K: "Tomorrow Trump is visiting @fema where he will hold a video call  with Governors. He's teasing a big announcement from the 

@US_FDA

 that we expect him to make at the 11am #coronavirus Task Force briefing, likely having to do with a possible treatment."

b1-66er: We're breeding pangolins and gonna drop them on the Taliban?

K: Tune in tomorrow!

b1: I listen to K radio. 

"I prefer my records warped."

K: 95 FABULOUS KBOT!

b1: "All static...

... half the time. "

K: 10,000 milliwatts of pure stereo power!

b1: "It's got a good beat and I can dance to it, I'd give it an 85, DICK."

Days of nothing go by incredibly quickly. I'm sad when they end.

K: Why? Tomorrow is the same.

Magic K-ball

b1-66er: Make a prediction. 

About anything. 

It's WAY better than hearing you rolling numbers like a beaver ball, again. 

Special K: That's because I mostly know to shut up.

I predict online-only.

WWDC will be canceled*.

b1: Agreed. 

K: The next wave is canceling the online-only versions of conferences that were instituted a couple of weeks ago.

b1: Oh! Interesting! Why?

K: Even to put on the online things requires people to get together to do planning. That's super hard to do now.

b1: Ah!

K: International air travel will be suspended (if it isn't already).

b1: ALL countries or just U.S.?

K: Just US, I mean.

b1: Okay. 

If the U.S. does it,  will others follow?

K: Not many. Maybe big countries.

*this is a bit of a cheat by the K... I've already heard from my contacts at AAPL that the WWDC is not happening live and they're just trying to figure out the messaging... and the K has/had b-fast every Friday with in-and-out AAPL employee, the Grumbler. Likelihood that K heard it "somewhere" is high.
