A friend (who happens to have an inactive account here) IM-ed me a question, and I started replying:
- highlight letters in a newspaper that form your message
- rent a billboard
- haunt their dreams
- letter via carrier pigeon (don't let the fact that they're extinct stop you)
- spread a rumor and hope the person hears the rumor
- hack a traffic sign
- post a /b/ GET milestone containing the person's contact info and the message
- use a black hole as a quantum computer
- record yourself miming and put it on youtube (or even better, interpretive dance)
- tattoo the message on your forehead
so I ask you: what are some "ordinary" means of communication?
But then I started going wayward:[23:12] ****: what's a really ordinary means of communication
[23:13] me: IM-ing?
[23:13] me: talking
[23:13] me: hand gestures
Other methods I told him:[23:13] me: message in a bottle?
[23:13] me: moorse code?
[23:13] me: pig latin?
[23:14] me: telepathy?
[23:14] ****: how is that ordinary
[23:14] me: it is if you're god
[23:14] ****: I mean for humans
[23:14] me: ooooohhhh
[23:14] me: lol
[23:14] me: why didn't you say so =P
