A WhatsApp conversation with chaosvizier this morning:

angledge: So my brain completely let me down in a life or death situation on Sunday.
chaosvizier: This doesn't involve another shed full of dynamite, does it? *
angledge: Nope
angledge: A* & I were coming home from Grand Junction after dark. A* was driving.
angledge: I was looking for animals. Sure enough, I saw a big old elk on the left side of the road, looking like he was going to come across.
angledge: "Brain", thought I, "we need to relay this information to A* forthwith!"
angledge: What did my brain do? Did my brain direct my mouth to say something useful like, "A*, elk on your left!"
angledge: No.
angledge: What I did end up saying was, "T-t-t-t-t-t!!" & I threw my hand forward in an imperious STOP gesture.
chaosvizier: Bwaaahahaha
angledge: Luckily it was enough information for A* to hit the brakes & look around. We didn't hit the elk.
angledge: But godDAMMIT Brain, really??
chaosvizier: "Yes ang, tit tit tit, I like them very much, what's your point?"
angledge: Thank goodness he didn't think it was an invitation to ogle me lol
chaosvizier: A* grasped the true meaning as opposed to grasping something else 🤪
angledge: The sound I made was more "Teh-teh-teh" than "tee-tee-tee". Not quite sure how to convey the wordless burbling.
chaosvizier: It's t-t-t-t-ted! He's c-c-coming to k-k-kill me!

* The shed full of dynamite references an old work story I conveyed to chaosvizier a few days ago about a time when my old job had me & my intrepid co-workers detonating some abandoned sticks of dynamite at a mine site. We somewhat underestimated the quantity of TNT that was involved & wacky hijinks (although no injuries) ensued.
