"What is it?" asked his friend looking up from a game of bejewelled.

"It's another one of those stupid spam threads where people post pictures of things and they keep a count of it, only this time it seems you have to battle waves with waves."

"Oh right!  How does that work, then?"

"Damned if I know.  Some kind of play on the multiple meanings of wave, I guess?"

"It's going to be very hard to keep track."

"Tell me about it!"

"You don't mean..."

"Yeah, I posted something.  See, here it is!"

"How many does that make then?"

"I reckon we're at waves: 1, waves: 0."

"Can I have a go?"

"Knock yourself out!"

"You know, I kinda miss that guy."

"So, does that make it waves: 1, waves: 1, now?"

"Oh, how should I know?"
