Turtle and Canary, Monday (7/28)

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

So, the island was in another new place, and that was pretty cool. What WASN'T cool was Sokka having missed the robots entirely because he was locked in his room trying to come up with a master strategy for defeating Ozai. Which still needed work. He kept stealing glances at Bob and Liz, in case one they decided to do something all cool and robot-y.

Oh, and also there was that shelf that had appeared near the front of the store, half full of jars of something disgusting and half full of AWESOME chocolatey... things. And a sign:

WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA!
50% off all Vegemite and Tim Tams


Today's Squishy flavors: Bruce, Bruce, Grape Bruce (to avoid confusion)

Talk to Sokka

Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant who was very rarely stable.

John had some shopping to do in preparation for his attempt at cooking. He gathered the ingredients required for spaghetti and paused in front of the Tim Tams and Vegemite display.

"Vegemite? What might it do?" He asked, not sure what it even was.

"I'm not sure, but it SMELLS nasty," Sokka told him, holding out a jar he'd bought and opened earlier. "If you want it, I'll let you have this jar for free."

Re: Talk to Sokka

John took the jar and sniffed. "Ew! No way this would taste good."

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka shrugged. "It's probably an acquired taste. Maybe Australian cuisine is just sort of weird?"

Re: Talk to Sokka

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Is this stuff popular here?" John wondered. "Makes me worry about their chocolate."

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka shrugged. "Hey, I'm just the guy in the store. You don't want it, you don't have to buy it. The other things, though -- those Tim Tam things -- those are pretty good."

Re: Talk to Sokka

"Yeah? Giving samples?" John smiled.

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka broke off a piece of one and handed it to John, while he himself ate the rest of the delicious treat. "It goes well with a Bruce Squishy," he suggested.

Turtle drifted in for another Squishy after a long morning of hard labor over at the project sight before heading back to the school for her class, tilted her head at the sign which she couldn't decide was a brilliant strategy or a stupid on, and then considered today's flavors.

"So...What's Bruce taste like?"

Not that she felt she could ever trust Sokka's tastebuds, but it felt like an important question to ask.

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Uh.... Bruce tastes sort of like really thick beer, Bruce is, like, tropical fruit, and Grape Bruce is just our usual, with a new name. So it's less confusing."

Sokka scratched his head. Really, it had seemed like a good idea at the time.

Re: Talk to Sokka

Turtle nodded; apparently, this explanation seemed to make perfect sense to her. "Bruce, then, please, Bob," she said, giving the SquishyBot a proud pat on where her shoulder would generally be, and it went to making her Bruce Squishy.

"So, what's up, Sokka?" she asked, as she waited, and, since the wait was never very long, punctuated her question of idle chatter with a sip, and then a relieved expression since Bob did, in fact, get the right Bruce.

Re: Talk to Sokka

"Oh, you know, nothing big..." Sokka told her. "I just MISSED the ROBOTS!!! Robots! There was a robot conference thing! And I missed it!!!"

Re: Talk to Sokka

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle arched an eyebrow. "How the heck'd you manage that?" she asked. "I even had two of them coming in Saturday. One bought out about half the store and the other, I think, had faulty programming. I did send Liz to go check out some of the convention while I was stuck behind the counter; you can check her recordings out if you want..."

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I know," Sokka grumbled. "I mean, nothing exciting EVER happens on the weekends around here. For some reason, I thought it was a good idea to hole up in my room and not listen to the radio."

He looked over at Liz wistfully. "No, no, if I watch the recordings, I'll just be more upset at not being there. Thanks for the offer, though."

Re: Talk to Sokka

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle just sort of stared at Sokka. "Did I honestly just hear someone say nothing interesting ever happens on the weekends around here? Or was that sarcasm? Please tell me that was sarcasm, Sokka."

Jack needed a grape fix. "Grape? Is there a grape today?"

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Grape Bruce, right there," Sokka told him, pointing.

Re: Talk to Sokka

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Grape...Bruce? Why is it Bruce?" Squishybot needs to be making the Grapeness happen.

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"It's less confusing that way," Sokka replied. Really, that had made sense to him at some point.

Re: Talk to Sokka

"Works for me. As long as it's the Grape," he said.

David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel.
And Whittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
