The Willpower of 10 Wildebeests

From Telkoth.net

Laura L.: if i get these cd's done and sent off, i'll take my away message down... or, failing that, if my need for diversion grows desperate :)
Telkoth: ha - okay
Telkoth: yeah, IM me whenever
Laura L.: but yeah - i'll be around -- but focused-like
Laura L.: cool cool
Laura L.: ttfn!


Some number of hours later...

Telkoth: you must have the willpower of, um, 10... wild...e...beasts... 'cause I haven't heard anything from you for several hours
*** Auto-response from Laura L.: gaaaaaaaaah
Telkoth: oh, wait, that's a different away message from the last I saw
Telkoth: perhaps it was only 2 wildebeasts after all
Laura L.: lol


Later that conversation...

Laura L.: meanwhile i should get back to the last of this
Telkoth: alrighty
Laura L.: blech
Laura L.: one more hour to go, though - that's cheering
Telkoth: may the spirit of wildebeast be with you, and guide you
Laura L.: yay wildebeast!
Laura L.: catch ya later :)
Telkoth: 'ta

*** Auto-response from Laura L.: focusing with the willpower of two wildebeasts... for the next hour only
