Now that is definetly cool. Staying in character like that just repeating 
that in the background as the game unfolds. Yes, that deserves bonus 
experience points in that matter.

Now, if it was one of my own players, I would grab a thick book and whap 
them over the head! ;) Because my core UA players are a bunch of teens who 
are quite excitable when it comes to guns. Gods, I wish I had only wished 
that UA was around when I was in College... my CoC group would of enjoyed 
this.
