Yay for Darkside!
He got his program finished. I wandered in for the very end of it and made a few contributions to the general air of weirdness floating around.
Shrimpy was in there at the same time, and started to bother Darkside. Fortunately for Shrimpy, Darkside was in a good mood.
You can tell how good a mood I'm in by what I call Shrimpy. If I'm in a good mood, I call him "Jimmy", this being an acceptable form of his name -- I don't call him by his first name, because that's too easily confusable with Darkside. James is Shrimpy's middle name, and his father is James, and my father is Jim -- Jimmy is OK to call Shrimpy.
When I'm irritated, I don't talk to Shrimpy unless I have a very good reason.
When I'm vastly irritated, I call Shrimpy "Shrimpy".
If I call Shrimpy by his full name, he'd better run.
Today I called Shrimpy "Jimmy" the first time he barged in, and "Shrimpy" thereafter.
He got the idea.
