 Robert:  perfect?
 James:  thats what i want to do one day
that exact job
but not in houston
 Robert:  That will never happen
 James:  what will?
 Robert:  You will never have that job
 James:  bitter bob
 Robert:  just pulling a page out of your book, nay saying
hey fuck you buddy, you are the one who always nay says.
giving you a taste of your own medicine
 James:  beligerent bob
haha
 Robert:  Angry Allen
 James:  i will have that job and then i will come back beat you with a stack of $100 bills
whilst weaping saying "you made me do this"
then i will take a shit all over everything you hold dear
 Robert:  haha good luck
you will have to get through my moat first
 James:  i will forge the moat on a homemade craft and scale your wall
with a hook and rope aparatus
 Robert:  thats just what I wanted you to do, in the confusion I escaped via my submarine and filled my moat with acid
you are quite marooned sir
 James:  my craft is made of lab grade plastic that can withstand your acid moat
and my suprior oarsman skills will chase down your sub
 Robert:  I intercepted the supplier and put a fatal weakness in the chemistry of your boat
you will be quite sunk
 James:  you will never know the location of my workshop or supply chain.  It will be a lockbox of mystery
 Robert:  "Another thing about the lock box, you might think you know the location of the lock box, but you do not.
 me:  indeed
