It would kill us both.

So I emailed the boys about perhaps going draining again. Just a little chatty, testing the waters email. I linked to one of the more appealing drains photographed as a teaser. Here's what I got back, which is absolutely hilarious.

Why do I always have to be the one to tell you? Linda, you are too old to sewer. We are both twice the age, twice the weight (almost), and half as fit. It would kill us both. Even if you don't care about yourself, think of Sara. A girl needs a mother. For goodness sake, even in the height of our adventurous years, we weren't crazy enough to sewer in the winter.

I have a better idea. Let's get together at your apartment and look through the photos of other peoples' sewer trips. It will be just like home tours. We used to go to open houses in person. Now we take virtual tours of homes. The next step is something R and I have been discussing called Email Camping. Get him to describe it for you.

I wasn't at work Monday and was busy enough Friday to miss your email about going to a movie. I will not be able to go to a movie with you last weekend. Sorry for the late notice.

And then this morning I get the response from R. (Who has obviously been reading the UER forum and my posts there.)

So, what's this about you giving credence to terminology birthed by mere imitators of our heritage art form?!!! The term, proper and true, is "sewering", God Damn It!!

"Draining (much better than the "sewering" term my friends and I used)"

How dare you?!!

Jeezus Christ Linda, I am so tempted to play the Susie game with you! Watch out!!

So yeah, I've been active. I've done it all. And then some. I also conquered your precious super triad sewer so prized by you elitists during my absence. It was nothing special. I did it barefoot. Naked. And then I sealed it up with concrete. So there. Fuck you.

Hmmff.

I'm going to take that as a yes. *laughs*
