Email sent to me at work by Randal back in November, in response to a comment I'd made about being unable to answer the phone when he'd called earlier:
>> It’s Thursday afternoon and I am at the reference desk, 10 feet away from my phone, but a locked door separates us.
> Look desk.
>> The reference desk is bare, but for a posting of the library hours and some graffiti in white out.
> Look whiteout.
>> The white out graffiti says: "Greedo shot first."
> Look door.
>> The door is locked.
> Look lock.
>> You don't have a key.
> Look
>> You sure like to look a lot, don't you?
> Look floor.
>> Standard industrial carpet. You were expecting a trap door?
> Look phone.
>> Nothing fancy, though it does have a hands-free function.
>> YOU HAVE BEEN EATEN BY A GRUE.

That was the most awesome example of geekery I've seen all month :) Does Randal know that there is an adventure game for the iTouch?
Awesome! I used to play text-based adventure games on my Dad's TRS 80 Coco Colour Computer: there was one called Bedlam where you tried to escape from a mental institution. If I recall correctly the commands you had to use were pretty similar to what Randal was using. I LOVED those games. Look at what I found: http://www.figmentfly.com/bedlam/ - crazy!
