Former Fake Boyfriend: Incredible.

McBickle: How the hell did they find that?

FFB: He has a lot of stuff on social networks.

McBickle: Oh weird. He's the dumbest terrorist ever.

FFB: Thankfully, yes.

McBickle: this is the most compelling thing about the car bomber: “He said he spoke Urdu, English and Pashto and liked to work on computers, play sports and ‘talk to people from different backgrounds.’” The last part—right? Like, WTF. You like talking to people of different backgrounds? You DO?

FFB: Hahahahahahah. I know. Being in foreclosure to me is fascinating.

McBickle: GF and I were discussing, like, is it an opposite? A lie? Wait, why?

FFB: To me.

McBickle: Why? Curious.

FFB: Makes him like so many other people. I think terrorism and an inflated housing market are the two biggest stories of our lives. So this has both…and you wonder how people become radicalized.
