Today a package arrived in the mail, which is delivered to our student box at the seminary. I was working in the library in a private study room and was chatting with Dixie on Google Talk about it.
She’s expecting a t-shirt that reads, “got meryl streep?”
The following conversation ensued (edited for irrelevancy):
Me: Buster?
Dixie: yesh?
Me: Ah, you are there.
Dixie: i heard the beeping and came over here
Me: We got something from Florida today. What would that be? From a Susan Livingston.*
Dixie: the t-shirt probably
Me: It feels like clothing, but it seems too small to be the t-shirt.
Dixie: why don’t you open it and see? I hope it doesn’t say “Got Susan Livingston” on it
Me: I’m opening the envelope…
…There’s a white powder in it…
Dixie: shut up
Me: Also a t-shirt.
Dixie: how does it look?
Me: Good.
Dixie: “Got Meryl Stripe”
Me: It’s says “got merv strelp?”
Dixie: lol
Me: I’m funny… I’m lol-ing alone in my little study carrel here.
Really, I was only wheezing to myself in my little study carrel. I’m not sure if that counts as lol-ing or not.
(Here’s a picture Dixie wearing the shirt.)

You two are very funny people.

Did you actually find this somewhat funny? I wondered if the humour would be somewhat lost on people (too you-had-to-be-there, inside-joke-y).

That was lol-worthy. (Though I emitted more of a chortle, still the sentiment is true.)
