Sure, if y'prefer science ta poetry. Always thought it was a bit fake, m'self.

[slingshots]

you think science is fake?

[ omg what kind of adult are you?? ]

[solitaire]

Science isn't fake. Lookin' at the stars through it would be.

_{( Who's an adult? )}

[slingshots]

but you can get maps & zoom in & see systems & stuff
i mean if their tech's any good

[ old people like you, sir ]

[solitaire]

Oui, an' I'm sure that's useful if y'want ta learn astronomy or are plannin' a trip inta space. But that's not what I like 'bout the stars.

_{( He is an old child, excuse you. )}

[slingshots]

[solitaire]

Eh, you see it two or three times an' the mystery fades.

[slingshots]

[solitaire]

Just said so, didn't I?

[slingshots]

[solitaire]

Friend a mine was lookin' for some other friends a mine, an' I tagged along. Nothin' better ta do at the time.

_{( It is really pathetic that that is an accurate summation of his motivation during a year's worth of comics. )}

[slingshots]

you went to space b/c "nothing better to do"
not too sure on your priorities, spud

[solitaire]

You're not the first ta say that.

[slingshots]

you ever get a chance like that again just let me know
we'll swap

[solitaire]

I think that'd be considered child endangerment. Sorry ta say.

[slingshots]

hey, i'm your senior, remember

[solitaire]

Only 'cause I'm too lazy ta calculate how old I am.

[slingshots]

a win by default is still a win

[solitaire]

But is it a victory?

[slingshots]

[solitaire]

Then you can have this one free.

[slingshots]
