[10/26/2012 9:48:39 PM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: Just picked up your 'gift'
[10/26/2012 9:49:40 PM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: Cant wait to soup up my vaio with thi Real JDM shit
[1:59:07 AM] Duff McWhalen: I won't lie
[1:59:13 AM] Duff McWhalen: I was hoping you'd be furious
[2:00:00 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: i did end up spending bus fare to go to the hotel to pick up the thing
[2:00:07 AM] Duff McWhalen: yiss yiss
[2:00:08 AM] Duff McWhalen: but
[2:00:15 AM] Duff McWhalen: I made Neil carry it across the planet
[2:00:23 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: that's true
[2:00:31 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: also, everything about it is perfect
[2:00:52 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: the cracked battery, the pc card CDROM, the floppy drive
[2:01:08 AM] Duff McWhalen: It's Vaio Supremacy
[2:01:19 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: the color scheme, which from what i can tell is "Gay Robot"
[2:01:25 AM] Duff McWhalen: I found that shit at my parents' place
[2:01:34 AM] Duff McWhalen: it was part of a hand-me-down I got from my brother
[2:01:42 AM] Duff McWhalen: the laptop itself died almost as soon as I got home with it
[2:01:43 AM] Duff McWhalen: of course
[2:01:53 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: i honestly think the bag is the most useful part
[2:01:56 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: because it is
[2:02:00 AM] Duff McWhalen: when I saw that neoprene bag I went shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[2:02:04 AM] Duff McWhalen: ahaha
[2:02:05 AM] Duff McWhalen: yeah
[2:02:10 AM] Duff McWhalen: I knew that would be the silver lining!
[2:02:16 AM] Duff McWhalen: man
[2:02:25 AM] Duff McWhalen: it's like being a toddler at Christmas
[2:02:28 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: i'll keep my shoe tools in there or some shit
[2:02:31 AM] Duff McWhalen: Oh, computer hardware?
[2:02:35 AM] Duff McWhalen: I'll just play with this box.
[2:02:51 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: NOW I'M A ROBOT BEEP BOOP
[2:03:23 AM] Duff McWhalen: but yeah, I'm sure you don't have to look at anything Vaio anymore
[2:03:29 AM] Duff McWhalen: but I wanted you to open that bag
[2:03:29 AM] Duff McWhalen: and think
[2:03:46 AM] Duff McWhalen: "Is that what this fuckhole thinks of me?  That I still have to use a fucking Vaio?"
[2:04:21 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: the first thirty seconds were basically, "What? But... WHAT?"
[2:04:55 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: Then I heard your voice, echoing like James Earl Jones, saying "REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE"
[2:05:09 AM] Duff McWhalen: man
[2:05:25 AM] Duff McWhalen: I owe Neil like a mountain of toast for this one.
[2:06:00 AM] Duff McWhalen: It's the caper of the decade.
[2:06:02 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: the funniest part is that i don't think i'm gonna be able to meet up with him
[2:06:21 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: keeps passing through town on weekdays
[2:06:30 AM] Duff McWhalen: oh man
[2:06:31 AM] Duff McWhalen: So wait
[2:06:35 AM] Duff McWhalen: how did you pick this up?
[2:06:45 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: he dropped it off with the hotel concierge
[2:06:51 AM] Duff McWhalen: AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAA
[2:07:02 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: like some terrorist plot
[2:07:15 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: which in retrospect, it kinda was
[2:07:32 AM] Duff McWhalen: I'm beside myself.
[2:08:03 AM] Duff McWhalen: Alternate ending: Neil goes to leave the bag with the concierge and the feds stop him.
[2:08:12 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: so i opened it in the lobby, with no one around to provide an explanation
[2:08:46 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: all that was missing was the concierge giving me an apologetic look before ushering me out of the hotel
[2:09:06 AM] Duff McWhalen: "Sir please we know what is in the package and you must leave immediately."
[2:09:15 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: seriously
[2:09:50 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: "We don't sell those electronics. Shenzhen is not that kind of town"
[2:10:07 AM] Duff McWhalen: Anti-Japan rioters around every corner.
[2:10:50 AM] Duff McWhalen: My brother's 2001-chic electronics bag your only protection.
[2:11:12 AM] Jeevan Vaikunthanathan: then i ate at a KFC
