Goons sabotage LJ; nun sabotages Nibs.

[sistawendy]

But first: people have talked smack about LJ for being too "mercenary", but the recent DOS attack on LJ from Russian goons seems evidence to some that they're the biggest and best - perhaps only - independent media voice in Russia. I'm OK throwing money at a company like that, as long as I get something for it.

The following happened Wednesday night:

INT. NIBS' HOUSE, DINNER TIME. SISTAWENDY and her son THE WENDLING are just sitting down when the PHONE RINGS.

SISTAWENDY
TO THE WENDLING
Don't get that.

SISTAWENDY gets up and checks the CALLER ID ON THE PHONE. It's a 425 NUMBER but there's NO NAME. She answers the PHONE.

SISTAWENDY
Hello?

CALLER
Hello. May I speak to Nibs?

SISTAWENDY
She isn't here right now. May I take a message?

CALLER
Yeah. This is Allan.

SISTAWENDY
Allan who?

CALLER
None of your business. Who are you?

SISTAWENDY
BELLY LAUGHS
I'm married to her. Goodbye!

SISTAWENDY hangs up.

Nibs told me later that night that may have been a man she was trying to date. Oops!

Wait... yes you can take a message, but no, you can't ask for pertinent information to relay with that message?

Exactly.

Even better, this jerk shares a first name with Nibsbrother, who's awesome. It didn't sound like him, but that's why I was so flip with the "Allan who?"
