Length: About 500 words
Rating: R
Summary: Ben and Leslie discuss today's weather reports.
Here's some context.
Leslie: "Leslie is spinning towards Bermuda."
Leslie: Does that mean I'm in the Bermuda triangle now?
Ben: too bad I’m not Bermuda
Leslie: "Leslie looks more interesting than any storm so far for the US East Coast"
Ben: well yeah
Leslie: "Tropical storms Kirk and Leslie swirl"
Ben: Who’s Kirk? Should I be worried?
Leslie: Hmm, Kirk. Will let u know.
Leslie: This will be a lot less funny if Leslie turns out to be a deadly storm.
Leslie: Like all those Katrina and the Waves jokes that people made before they realized how awful Katrina was.
Ben: ?
Ben: People made Katrina and the Waves jokes?
Leslie: Well, mostly tubby Tony and the papaya...
Ben: Ah
Leslie: "Leslie is intensifying"
Ben: no surprise. she does that
Leslie: "Leslie is the second-earliest forming 12th named storm on record."
Leslie: huh?
Ben: means it's only the 2nd time in history we got to 12 storms so early in the season
Ben: hello climate change
Leslie: OK, well that's not really a double entendre, is it, early forming.
Ben: Not when it comes to you.
Ben: And that *is* a double entendre, my dear.
Leslie: How so?
Ben: uh
Ben: I wouldn't say you're early-forming.
Leslie:???
Leslie: Meaning...
Ben: Meaning... it takes you a while to... form.
Leslie: Oh rly?
Ben: Y
Leslie: Huh.
Ben: Wait, you upset? I can't tell on texting.
Leslie: No. Hang on, is this a problem for you?
Ben: texting?
Leslie: N, the... time I take to form
Ben: No
Ben: No, I like the... forming
Ben: there’s the airing
Ben: swirling, autocorrect
Leslie: Shut up
Ben: And the spinning
Leslie: V funny
Leslie: No, srsly is that...
Leslie: frustrating for you?
Ben: What? no. god no. it's...
Leslie: What? it's what?
Ben: wait, thinking of the right words
Ben: And I'm still at the office
Leslie: ok
Leslie: you know i hate to wait
Ben: good thing I don't
Leslie: BEN
Leslie: not funny at the moment
Ben: yeah ok
Ben: but really
Ben: it's great. I like making you wait for something.
Ben: and then I like it that it's worth the wait
Ben: and you’re a storm for a really long time
Ben: before you turn into a hurricane
Ben: and then you can turn into one again
Ben: and then the times when you're fast-forming
Ben: they're awesome
Leslie: yeah they are
Leslie: What time are you home tonight?
Ben: 7?
Ben: pple are starting to head off for the wkend. Why?
Leslie: Skype.
Ben: great idea... best
Leslie: I want to bear down on you.
Ben: God, I wish you could.
Leslie: I know. Me too.
Ben: I like it when you gust.
Leslie: Your weather metaphors are even better than the sports ones
