Sadly, these have been my friends for the last 4 years.

drungken munk ee (9:43:16 PM): yeah, it's already gotten so bad that i can't really even begin to trick her. she'll kick my ass for sure.
drungken munk ee (9:43:43 PM): and when i restrain her physically, she does that cold-shoulder deal. i hate that cold-shoulder deal.
naryantek (9:44:43 PM): damn shes got you under her thumb.
naryantek (9:44:48 PM): HER THUMB!
drungken munk ee (9:45:28 PM): let's not talk about thumbs, my thumby friend.
naryantek (9:45:56 PM): huh
drungken munk ee (9:46:05 PM): you are sure to be the professional in that department; you know alice's thumbs better than she does.
drungken munk ee (9:46:08 PM): biooootch!
drungken munk ee (9:48:09 PM): silence = defeat.
naryantek (9:51:47 PM): GAY
naryantek (9:51:51 PM): you are so gay
naryantek (9:52:02 PM): i was in the bathroom and you had a mini contest with yourself
naryantek (9:52:11 PM): and i still dont get why im a pro with thumbs
drungken munk ee (9:53:32 PM): here:

function alice(person stan) {
if (!stan->whupped)
stan->whupped = 1;
else if (stan->confident) {
stan->confident = stan->confident - 1;
alice(stan);
} else {
printf("%s is so under %s's thumb!",stan,alice);
alice(stan);
}
}

drungken munk ee (9:53:45 PM): as you can see, the function is endlessly recursive in nature.
