Paul: another festivus miracle!
Michael: ah festivus, a holiday of joy and strength
6:48 PM Paul: and tests

6:49 PM Michael: btw, i just remembered the other day that you never told me how your friend’s talk with you went
a long time ago when i was last in nyc
Paul: oh yeah
6:50 PM it was what it was
i can't really remember, but we're still friends
Michael: impressive

giant apartments
hanging out with the same people every day all day
6:52 PM Michael: never working
no black people
that's the true new york
also there's no subway
6:53 PM Paul: great quote: what's the point of being better than someone when you can just hurt their feelings.
?
6:54 PM Michael: eh
6:55 PM that's not as good as "I know i'm better than he/she, but i still want to hurt their feelings."
Paul: meh
6:56 PM Michael: meh, quite. yes, indeed. mm
Paul: quite. indeeeeeed. so, nyc for new years?
Michael: yeah, i think so

Michael: then i intend to be there
Paul: boyhowdy!
6:58 PM Michael: it's like the new years i've always dreamed about!

Paul: this the dream new years you've always dreamed about.
obviously
i don't pay cover charges
unless a band is playing
6:59 PM then maybe
but no
Michael: did you get my text from the other day?
Paul: it'll be parties and dan's roof probably
i did
Michael: yes
It was awful
Paul: why were you there?
Michael: i was dragged there against my will
Paul: and i did concentrate really hard to kill you, but instead you grew two inches
Michael: haha
7:00 PM i think i'm going to wear a hat
7:02 PM Paul: people need more self-respect/awareness
Michael: indeed, i wish i had more self-respect. i mean, i respect myself, but i always wonder, don't i deserve more respect?
7:03 PM and i should lead by example
Paul: of course you do. do you own land? are you landed gentry? then yes, you deserve more respect. until the sun sets on a vineyard or a giant island or your very own virginia.
7:04 PM Michael: i'm a rich man, paul, but i'd trade it all for a little more
7:05 PM Paul: how true that is
Michael: i wish i could take credit for that line, but it's mr. burns from an old simpsons episode
7:06 PM that being said, i wrote that episode
Paul: i know. i saw it and said "that's mike's handywork if ever i've seen it" - of course, i was blind at the time
7:07 PM Michael: true, that was before i shined my countenance upon you
Paul: yeah, it turned out that i just had a hat on. real low.
7:08 PM Michael: and you were wearing a burka of hope and emotion
Paul: and boy were my hopes hopeless and my emotions excited
7:09 PM Michael: one time, menachem got upset and he emoted all over the living room
Paul: hahaha
Michael: i had to clean up, it was gross
Paul: only the world's biggest big&tall store could contain the emotions i emote for you.
7:10 PM Michael: paul, you're a good friend and an even better astronaut
Paul: wow. that's a true truth!
put me in space, make me a monkey.
7:11 PM the moon rules, #1
Michael: from now when i lie, i'm going to say i have a "truth-ache"
Paul: hahaha
that is so lame, but so funny
Michael: da moon rules, number one, on my car
i know
congratuations
i have a truth ache
7:12 PM Paul: i didn't so much lie as not tell you truths. and if that's against the law, then lady justice is....lying
oh, well congratulations! now i have a truth ache! aren't you happy?
7:13 PM Michael: haha
i'm going to light some hanukkah fires, brb
7:14 PM Paul: that's for the maccabees. and you sir, are no maccabee
7:16 PM Michael: maybe not, but you are no manger
Paul: that is a truth-ache, and you know it
Michael: haha
7:17 PM great usage
Paul: you’re bleeding truths from your elbows to your feet, man!
they flow from you, like wolves from the...other wolves
Michael: i'm hemorrhaging truths at an alarming rate
7:18 PM Paul: you need 20ccs of truth-serum stat
Michael: as long as it's not a suppository
7:19 PM Paul: never that. always that.
Michael: sometimes i wonder why we cant get along
7:20 PM you seem like a good guy
Paul: i'm not. but neither are you.
Michael: neither of us are both the same
Paul: wow
that is mind boggling
7:21 PM write that in the sky, and call it heaven

Michael: hahaha
Paul: cause that'd be weird

Michael: that's so right
Paul: i know this
3:08 PM Michael: lasers
Paul: racecars, lasers, aeroplanes?
Michael: it's a duck-blur
Paul: wow. that is a trifecta
3:09 PM Michael: hell yeah it is
i'm gonna take a swim in my money bin
i'm not making a reference to ducktales, i just mean like every jew has a money bin
3:10 PM Paul: oh, the one filled with gold and diamonds?
Michael: it's filled with buttons
Paul: oh
wow
a button bin
Michael: yeah, seriously
Paul: all of which read "we like ike"
3:11 PM Michael: yes, also, it's not so much a bin as a shoe box
and there's also a pair of shoes in it
i'm gonna go swim in that
3:12 PM Paul: swim in it, like people are "swimming" in money, as in there is a lot of it? or literally swim, with the possibility of more swimming
Michael: the latter
Paul: oooo
3:13 PM Michael: i'll catch you later
Paul: peace
Michael: when i'm sopping wet in buttons and shoes

7:04 PM Paul: home from the 23rd-27th. maggies the 27th-28th, back in NY on the 28th. back to work on the 2nd. what's your dilly, Michael St. Dubitzky?
Michael: Boston Dec. 21st, NH 23-26th, Boston 26-27 - i think
7:05 PM of course i dont like the word "christmas" i prefer "christ-x"
Paul: that is x-treme
while you're doing the dew, that's when you come up with these things
Michael: some people call it x-mas, they're lame. Christ-X forever
Paul: so you should come to NY for a couple days. new years new york style? think about it.

7:10 PM and you can be called Little Pauly Cans
7:11 PM LPC for short
Paul: ick
i'll never get laid
Michael: so true, "Pauly" is terrible
Paul: mikey dubz is also pretty bad
7:12 PM Michael: yes, but that will remain my legal name
how about PJ Canny?
your name is so amenable to cognomen
Paul: you're an asshole
Michael: hahaha
7:13 PM this is one of my favorite conversations ever
Paul: hahaha
7:14 PM Michael: the two lines before my laugh are perfect for an away message
Paul: so perfect
Michael: ok so here's the plan
7:15 PM i'll go nyc for new years, you come to dc for january first
7:16 PM Paul: that's a perfect and near flawless plan. but you forgot ONE thing:
it's called new x
or x-years
Michael: i like New X
Paul: it's like the coolest thing ever
but it isn't
7:17 PM Michael: from now on, i think i'm going to use the word "birth" for anything i produce, ie "I birthed a new screenplay this week."
7:18 PM Paul: hahahahaha
i totally impregnated the world with a new screenplay
7:19 PM you should see my new screenplay. it's like a fetus.

Friday - 12/8/06
that's gross, dude
1:32 PM you're gross
Michael: it is
Paul: and you're ugly
ask me if i'm drunk right now
Michael: hey let's not fly off the handle here
Paul: cause i wish i was
and i will be in like 8 hours
Michael: when are you coming to dc?
Paul: no time soon, sadly.
Michael: that is sadly
Paul: indeed
i want to come. maybe january.
1:34 PM Michael: you just produced a tragicomedy in my eye
Paul: oooo, that can sting
1:35 PM Michael: it's ok, i sprayed my eye with bleach to get it out
Paul: good man. we'll call you cyclops, until you blind your other eye. then we'll call you no-clops
michael no-clops
Michael: haha
1:36 PM my clops are both fine sir
Paul: ah, michael two-clops, the fourth
1:37 PM Michael: i''ll give you a black clops if you say that to my face
Paul: hahahaha
our conversations are always the best
Michael: it's true
never second rate
1:38 PM Paul: sometimes third, but never second
Michael: exactly
usually third actually
Paul: mmm, indeed.
1:39 PM Michael: quite
Paul: an exchange from purpler rain goes "he's a remarkable thespian?" "remarkable?" "quite."
1:40 PM Michael: not bad
Paul: it's in regards to ratface, the insane asylum patient who never speaks
Michael: hahaha
Paul: he's actually insanely attractive, but everyone calls him ratface
1:41 PM Michael: i need to read that script
brilliant
Paul: we're working on it this weekend. it's going to change a lot, i think
Michael: how so?
1:43 PM Paul: well, we took some time away from it and now we're going back so it's bound to change. some of the script just needs tuning, while some of it needs completely different direction. we might have a "surviving the game" type deal in the woods on the way to minnesota, or deal more deeply with other characters that we sort of gloss over. we shall see. it's bound to be hilarious, whatever happens.
1:45 PM Michael: as long as its still hilarious, i'll allow for editing
but i have my clops on you guys
1:46 PM Paul: hahaha. i'm keeping my clop on you
we should call somebody by-clops from now on
Michael: no that's an insult!
now
1:47 PM Paul: who do we know who is incredibly cloppy or cloppish?
1:48 PM Michael: i was at a chinese restaurant last night with big m and sendor and menachem got the following fortune in his cookie (verbatim): "Maybe you can live on the moon in next century."Then a few minutes later he picked up another and got: "Maybe you can live on the moon in next century."
so he's booked after 2100
1:49 PM Paul: shit. maybe it's definite.
Michael: hahaha

Tuesday - 12/5/06
Michael: i got my ears on you
5:02 PM Paul: i got something in my front pocket for you
Michael: give it a feel say how do you do
5:04 PM Paul: why don't you stick your hand in, and see what it is?
Michael: so funny
5:05 PM Paul: ah, laughter. it's what happens when children scream
Michael: and when heroes weep
5:06 PM Paul: ha.
Michael: are you a hero or a child?
be a shark
Paul: i'm a bear-shark, nature's deadliest creation
5:07 PM Michael: not as deadly as gorilla-snake
all the powers of a gorilla, with the lethal sensibilities of a snake
Paul: but the bear-shark is a bear with a shark on it's back.
5:08 PM Michael: the gorilla-snake can climb buildings and be a belt
5:10 PM Paul: the bear-shark can eat honey and sleep with the fishes
5:11 PM Michael: well, the gorilla-snake has deadly venom and is fast, like a shark
Paul: but the bear-shark has two rows of teeth, and is slippery, like a snake
5:12 PM Michael: damn
that is impressive
Paul: plus it's named daniel
5:13 PM Michael: that name is gay
Paul: and likes to read many leather bound books
Michael: and its walls smell of rich mahogany
oh i have to send you a bruno video
Paul: you sure do
5:14 PM and i have to go buy a coffee
stay tb-free
Michael: you too buddy
