Didn't you send a link to an RPG review to .war-historical? Don't tell me

[gets into cab]

Cabbie: "Hey, don't I know ya?"

Jonah: "I don't believe so."

Cabbie: "Yeah... maybe..."

[drives on]

Cabbie: "So, you live in New York?"

Jonah: "Yes."

Cabbie: "You do strategy games?"

Jonah: "So to speak, yes."

Cabbie: "Do people talk about you all the time on the strat newsgroup?"

Jonah: "You read Usenet?"

Cabbie: "Yeah, I do. Now I know ya. You're Derek Smart, aren't ya?"

Jonah: "What? No..."

Cabbie: "Sure you are. Ya live in New York, you do games, everyone talks
about you, it must be you. I thought you was black though."

Jonah: "No, really, you're mistaken."

Cabbie: "What, you're not black? Hey, don't worry, I'm not one of those
detractors."

Jonah: "But I'm not --"

Cabbie: "Man, this is so cool. Who'd a thought I'd meet Derek Smart? How's
the coke machine going? Ha ha!"

Jonah: "You don't understand. I --"

Cabbie: "Hey man, it's cool. You don't have ta explain anything to me. You
still dealing with those Take Two assholes?"

Jonah: "I don't --"

Cabbie: "You don't deal with them anymore? Figured as much. Hey, I really
dig the way you flame those pussies on UNsenet. Now if someone said all
that shit to my face, not only would I kick their ass, I'd shove their head
so far up their ass they could smell the mousse in their hair. But what am
I saying? I learned that from you, ya know. Ha ha!"

Jonah: "Somebody tell me this is a nightmare."

Cabbie: "Hey, it gets better."
