Bert

The other day I was thinking, that if I was ever forced to write Wookiee an e-mail, letter, note, etc. under duress, I would want some way of covertly letting him know that something was up. This is assuming I was allowed to write but under the condition that my writing be subject to censorship...so I'd want it to appear totally "yeah, everything is great how are you" while still coding a message to him. The first thing I thought was that I would misspell his nick as like "Wookkie" or something like that because I figured he would know (pursuant to earlier wookiee spelling sessions) that something was amiss. But that was just the first thing that came to mind. Maybe we should come up with a code phrase and word that means help, danger or something...like how Chandler and Joey have "Bert". I want to have some kind of code like that, but one that is less blatant. I think a phone conversation would be harder. So we'd need some kind of discreet phrase that suits any situation or conversation that can be slipped in as a secret message without seeming out of place. I'll have to ask Wookiee for ideas, anybody else got one?

On an aside, because of Wook's name, I'm always writing cookie with an extra 'e'. Cookiee. Damn Wookiee. No, damn brain.
