 I never know what the fuck to expect when this kind of bullshit goes down. Don't be a horse's ass and then everything should be fine. Plain and simple.

How's about we start off with a decent conversation point. The Stones or The Beatles?

Comments

[seriousheat]

Because they make better music.

[whitetwoguns]

I like both. Everyone says shit about the other but, c'mon timeless. Also how often do you get two great bands and both have an album that's off by one word. Let It Be. Let It Bleed.

[seriousheat]

I got nothing against The Beatles, I just like The Stones better. [ Big shrug. You're kind of a geek aren't you. ]

[whitetwoguns]

[Geek? NO. Though sometimes he believes that Orange rubs off on him.]

That much is good. I'm glad for anything that's not literal.

[seriousheat]

[ He just got excited about their albums being one letter apart, how is that not geeky. ]

Not one for the books?

[whitetwoguns]

No, I mean we got people thinking I'm talking about rocks and bugs.

[It's an observation! A cool one. It's not like he's Mr. Brown or anything getting all hard for Madonna.]

[seriousheat]

Seriously? There's people who don't know The Stones? Or The Beatles?

[whitetwoguns]

Seriously. I don't know what kind of rocks they hide under.

[seriousheat]

Not the musical kind, that's for sure.

[whitetwoguns]

Bingo. Any time anyone knows what the fuck is notable music is a good time.

[Said the relatively old timer.]

[seriousheat]

[ For what it's worth: Severide's kind of old school about some things. ] Guess it's just another thing that's strange about this place.

[whitetwoguns]

[Good and yet...]

The whole damn place is strange. Any fuck jaded enough to call it same old same old is only doing so because they got knocked flat on their ass.

[seriousheat]

I just got here, man. You hear it, it's not gonna come from me.

[whitetwoguns]

Consider it a heads up.

[That people are liars? Well, depending on who you are or where you're from it could be a shock.]

Where you from?

[seriousheat]

Right on.

[ He's figuring it out. ] Chicago.

[whitetwoguns]

Chicago, huh? It's been awhile since I've been there. I think there are one or two folks around from there.

[Or something, they're gangsters if he remembers correctly. This guy doesn't look like a wiseguy. At least not that way.]

[seriousheat]

Yeah? You got any names for me?

[ Oh, he's not. That's before his time. ]

[whitetwoguns]

Trying to think.

[Jersey isn't Chicago but they're all the same breed around about there.]

What do you do in Chi-town?

[seriousheat]

Rescue squad, Firehouse 51. [ And damn proud of it, too. ]

[whitetwoguns]

Say, I never knew a fireman before.

[Just cops....for not the right reasons.]

Good on you, pal. That must be some fucking tough work.

[seriousheat]

Yeah, it's hard work. [ But he loves it, he couldn't imagine doing anything else with his life. ] But it's also the best.
