An IM with the Gumshoe

I'm IMing with the Gumshoe as Eli sleeps and I do laundry in preparation for the trip tomorrow to return him to the "land where palm trees sway" (bonus round: Can you identify the song that description is from?) Anyway, here's a snippet of our conversation:

Me: Brb, have to go check on the dryer.
Gumshoe: K
Me: Back. Well, to paraphrase George W. Bush, my clothes are dryer, but not yet dry.
Gumshoe: Tell the dryer to 'bring it on'
Me: Or at least take off that 'Mission Accomplished' sign it hung on the door.

The Gumshoe and I always have deep meaningful conversations like this.
