We probably should rehearse it, or at least talk about it when I’m not watching South Park.  I did read the outline she wrote, and I’m sure I could easily talk for at least an hour by following her plan.

Richard Clamp and I gave a joint talk at whichever YAPC it was back in Amsterdam. We wrote the script for the talk in an editor running in a terminal connected via a screen session in '-x' mode to each of our laptops, whilst sitting on the couch next to each other. This meant that we could both move the cursor, and take control instantly. This was important as our 'script' required me to complete his sentances and vice versa, and enabled us to write the free-flowing script the same way we might chat on irc. James Duncan and I are giving a joint talk at EuroOSCON this year. I'm looking forward to that, since I think James is an excellent speaker.

I like the way that, even though youse live in the same house, you *sent* him the outline. That made me smile wryly, and look into the middle distance. (Although that might have been the Emmylou I was playing at the same time.) Still, I shall come watch the comedic interplay. It sure beats talks about joints, I think.
