Er... Perhaps I need a flaming trout of my own. My friend admonishes me for not using chat-speak while on instant messenger and thus slowing our conversation. He says I take the 'instant' out of it.
I say that if I allow myself a single 'lol' or shortened word, it will become habit, and this I cannot allow. He then goes away grumbling about my vocabulary.
Flaming trout are hard to come by in the desert. Perhaps a flaming lizard or pidgeon?
