Scotty
What took you so long bro?
Eric
I’m back like five minutes later than I normally am
Scotty
Eric the TITANIC sank in five minutes
Eric
What? No it didn’t. It took several hours for it to finally go down.
Scotty
Nah man you gotta stop watchin all them movies. Read a book
Eric
That crash was one of the only things that movie got right
Eric
Also it was based on a real event, not a book
Eric
Whatever dude what did you need?
Scotty
I want you to help me set up my email
Eric
You don’t have an email account?
Scotty
Never got around to learning how to get one
Eric
You’re about to graduate from college and you don’t have an email?
Scotty
Oh so I guess you always knew how to set up email
Eric
I’m just saying it’s incredibly easy to do.
Eric
Sorry man I’m not judging
Eric
Then why did you tell me to let you know ASAP
Scotty
I like to be on my time. So I’ll get to you when I’m ready
Eric
Okay dude whatever just let me know when you get home
Scotty
Nah just stay home and tell me how
Scotty
My parents got the flu
Eric
Fine let’s just do this already
Eric
Get on your computer
Scotty
Way ahead of you bro
Eric
Alright so what kind of email do you want?
Scotty
What do you mean “kind”
Scotty
Don’t they all do the same thing
Eric
Yeah but is this a business email?
Eric
Or just for casual use?
Scotty
Don’t ever call me a casual Eric
Eric
Wait dude I didn’t call you that I’m just saying
Scotty
And I’m saying you should have some respect
Eric
fine man you’re not a casual
Scotty
Damn straight. Let’s keep going
Eric
Okay fine we’re just gonna use yahoo
Scotty
That chocolate mix drink?
Scotty
What does that have to do with this?
Eric
Ugh no man that’s yoohoo
Eric
It should have a bunch of purple everywhere
Eric
Okay up at the top there should be a sign in button?
Scotty
Actually hold on a min
Scotty
Really thirsty all of a sudden
Scotty
Hey this yoohoo stuff isn’t bad
Eric
Where did you get yoohoo from so quickly?
Scotty
I always have yoohoo on hand Eric. Don’t you?
Eric
Let’s just finish this dude
Scotty
Alright I’m here I see the purple
Eric
Do you see where it says sign in?
Eric
Okay so it should have a button that says “create new account”
Eric
That’s what you want
Scotty
Oh man I gotta think of a good name
Eric
Just use your name. That’s what most people do
Scotty
Excuse me? I’m not gonna just hand out my identity like that
Eric
But the whole point is to ALLOW people to contact you
Scotty
Whatever Eric I’m not gonna fall for that
Eric
Okay Scotty. Use whatever name you want
Scotty
Hmmmm...this is kinda big...What’s your email name?
Eric
Well you can’t use it. I already have an email with my name
Scotty
Yeah but i just want an idea of where I should head with this
Eric
Umm alright mine is ericLarren@yahoo.com
Scotty
Eric! You put your WHOLE NAME in that!
Eric
Yes, Scotty, I did. On purpose.
Eric
So that people KNOW IT’S ME
Scotty
I don’t know what kind of “business” you use yours for, but I don’t like it.
Eric
Alright fine just pick a name.
Scotty
ScooterScotty. What you think?
Eric
You still put your first name in it. And you don’t even have a scooter!
Scotty
I know! Throws people off. They’ll never think it’s actually me.
Eric
What if you decide to ride on a scooter one day
Scotty
Crap...I didn’t think of that...
Scotty
Why is this so hard?!
Eric
It’s not dude, ScooterScotty is fine.
Eric
just continue with the setup
Scotty
Wait, why is it asking for my address and stuff?
Scotty
I don’t wanna get normal mail, I want an email!
Eric
No it’s just for identity purposes so they know it’s you.
Scotty
But I DON’T want them to know it’s me, Eric!
Eric
Whatever dude it’s fine. You don’t even have to fill that stuff in.
Scotty
I think it’s almost done.
Eric
I’m very happy for you
Scotty
Wait now it wants me to type in these weird looking letters
Eric
Yeah go ahead and do that
Eric
So they know you aren’t a robot
Eric
Why do I keep saying things
Scotty
Excuuuse me? I have to prove I’m not a robot controlling a robot?
Scotty
What would a robot do with a computer!
Eric
It’s more so to protect against viruses and hackers man. They don’t really think you’re a robot.
Scotty
Okay bro...I’ll take your word for it.
Eric
Okay that should pretty much be it.
Scotty
Oh man now it wants me to setup and complete my profile?
Scotty
It wants me to customize and stuff
Eric
Yeah that’s just extra little stuff you can do with it
Scotty
Man this thing is too complicated.
Scotty
I’m just gonna stick with my gmail.
Scotty
My gmail. Dude you know what gmail is.
Eric
But I just spent all this time helping you make an email when you already have one?
Scotty
Dude, I wanted an email. This is gmail.
Scotty
Totally different.
