Well...

[He really shouldn't brag, but...]

My ideas are better than his. Not all the time, but some of the time. We both have different advantages. He's a lot older, so he's had more time to figure out this whole advertising thing. I'm young and stupid and willing to write really shocking ads. Sometimes we go head to head, and see whose campaign is better. Clients have chosen mine over his before, and it drives him nuts, but he respects that kind of talent. One time, though, he knew my ad was so much better than his he refused to even bring it to the meeting. He "forgot" the pitch in the car. I was kinda mad, but ultimately, that means I win, right? It means he knew my work was so much better than his he was scared.

[loveandlanguish]

Devious little bastard, isn't he?

[Yes, laughing at your office politics now, sorry. Oh mortals, so silly.]

[just_displaced]

Yeah, except for the 'little' part. He's pretty tall. And he doesn't even have a beard.

[loveandlanguish]

Do you generally like people better when they have a beard?

[just_displaced]

I think it generally says something good about their character, yeah.

[loveandlanguish]

Oh yes? What does mine say about me, then?

[He's just going to smooth his down in preparation and give Ginsberg his most smoldering look. Smoldering or ridiculous. Either one. He awaits your judgement.]

[just_displaced]

It says that you have a big personality. That you're not afraid to really put yourself out there. That you're a little cutting edge, a little different. That you're probably really prideful, in general, because you'd have to be, to have a beard like that. That you're... what the hell is that look?

[Ridiculous. That's what it is.]

[loveandlanguish]

[He's just going to keep with the look. Staring. Into your soul.]

What look?

[just_displaced]

You're...

[What are you doing, man?]

... leering? Staring intently?

[loveandlanguish]

Maybe you're very leerable.

[just_displaced]

No, I'm pretty sure I'm not. I'm pretty sure you just like leering.

[loveandlanguish]

I think you might be underestimating yourself.

[Are you getting uncomfortable with the maintained eye contact because he's not giving up get.]

[just_displaced]

Then how come nobody else has ever leered at me in my life?

[Nope. Staring contest is a go.]

[loveandlanguish]

[It's on! Staaaare.]

Well to be far you probably weren't as close to them as you are to me now so maybe you just didn't notice.

[just_displaced]

Maybe. But I don't think most people sit around the office leering at me.

[loveandlanguish]

If that's true, they're really missing out.

[Playing with your hair again, yep.]

[just_displaced]

You should inform them of that. Then more people can stare at me awkwardly.

[loveandlanguish]

Yes I'll just show up in your place of business and inform them all of what they're missing.

[just_displaced]

It... honestly wouldn't be the weirdest thing that's ever happened there. I doubt they'd even notice it was out of the ordinary.

[loveandlanguish]

I could do it naked if that'd make it weirder.

[just_displaced]

You'd... probably get arrested.

[loveandlanguish]

Well it wouldn't be the first time that'd happened.

[and maybe also last time for naked reasons.]

[just_displaced]

Getting arrested, or being naked?

[loveandlanguish]

I'm fairly sure I've been naked before, yes. Once and a while. In my lifetime.

And word to the wise, don't ever try to call your wife to bail you out of jail while naked in the middle of the night, you will not hear the end of it for DECADES.

[just_displaced]

I'm going to keep that in mind for if I ever get arrested while I'm naked, and if I ever have a wife. Both of which seem unlikely. But who knows?
