"Oh, ha ha."

"She's right, Jeff," said Abed. "You're tall and attractive, plus your out-sized ego, your vanity about your personal appearance, your air of professionalism with a slightly seamy edge to it...they're all things that should make a favorable impression on the types of people who made Shirley's life miserable in high school."

"Abed, I don't think anyone made my life miserable in high school. You're being ridiculous. Jeff, tell him how ridiculous he's being."

"I don't know." Jeff's legs were up on the table and he was leaning back in his chair, staring up at the opposite wall pensively. "He might have a point, Shirley. You really think I have a seamy edge, Abed?"

"Definitely."

"Hmm." Jeff rocked slightly back and forward in his chair.

Shirley laughed nervously. "You're all being silly."

"Abed's appealing to his out-sized ego," Britta told her. "He might just do it."

SHOWBIZ, "I shipped Remus/Tonks, but my favorite character back in the halcyon days of HP fandom was Dean Thomas because he is a counterfeiting GQMF" = AWESOME and I think I recognize you from Remus/Tonks fic headers?, Sam Cooke eeeeee.)
