the librarian’s young son (i think 5th grade) is here for the afternoon in the library and he has been set up on a computer to play some sort of shooting game with many robotic cries similar to ‘shazbot!’ and ‘all your bases belong to us!’ i’m finding it difficult not to laugh out loud and cannot wait till the austrailan comes back from lunch. admittedly the austrailian is pretty deaf and must not have a sense of smell or he’d have noticed how much he needs deodorant, so maybe the addition of a small, cute, half-hawaiian boy to the library will go unnoticed by him. unfortunately the french father is not here today to multiply this experience with delightful amounts of fun.

SHAZBOT!
The first time I heard Jacob say that, and I heard Jacob say it considerably before I ever heard Tribes say it, it was as though the heavens parted and the angels began singing. It’s the greatest word west of the Mississipi, and it only gets better when you hear the one character with the very dignified and slightly husky voice say it. So fervent. So heartfelt. Ssshhhazbot.
the boy moved on from the clicky fight game to something involving japanese being spoken and an odd techno beat which included a sound like robotic dogs woofing. briefly we were regaled with the mentos ad song and now i’m not sure what he’s doing.
