==Transcript==<br />
[A dialog between Cueball, seated at a computer terminal, and Black Hat, seated in an armchair reading a book. They are facing away from each other.]<br />
:Cueball: I know you shouldn't feed the trolls, but sometimes they just provoke me to where I can't help replying.<br />
:Black Hat:Yeah, me too. Yesterday this guy kept spamming "First!", so I got a set of actuarial tables and spent twenty minutes telling him when all his childhood heroes would likely die.<br />
[Cueball turns around in his chair]<br />
:Cueball: ...<br />
:Cueball:Remind me never to upset you, ever.<br />
:Black Hat: 2038: Last of the original Star Wars cast dies.<br />
:Cueball: Augh!<br />
