They Require a License for a Car, But Not Internet Access

Hal and The Beast were born in the days before color TV, automatic transmissions or microwave popcorn, yet they have grown incredibly comfortable wandering around the Interweb unsupervised.

This, quite often, has led to things which are outlandishly hilarious for Jake and I, and utterly confusing for them.

If simply wandering around cyberspace weren't ridiculous enough, they occasionally try to use this medium as a means of communicating.

That's where our new feature, IM Convos, comes in. It's a detailed record of the elite level of discourse shared by Jake and I with Hal and The Beast.

It's important to note, once again, we're not making this up.

Using Letters and Numbers in a New Medium

Hawkman: Hey! I am text messaging you!

bhawken: This is not text messaging.

Hawkman: I saw someone doing this on a commercial.

bhawken: Text messaging is done with a phone.

Hawkman: I think it's was called "the mobile web."

bhawken: Are you doing this on your cell phone right now?

Hawkman: What are you talking about? I'm not talking on my phone, I'm at the computer!

Mamahawk: Are you working?

Mamahawk: I saw a cute dog today while I was driving to work.

bhawken: I gotta go.

Mamahawk: It looked happy! Call me later and I will tell you about it!
