Well, that's true! On the other hand, people are smart in different ways, aren't they?

But I've never known a reason not to believe in luck. It's a little hasty to judge on that alone, isn't it? I've known a great deal of people, you know.

[waysmarterthanyou]

Hasty? See, that's where you're wrong. The whole idea of luck is just something morons believe in because they're too incompetent to make things happen themselves.

[bowplucker]

You think? I've never thought, "oh, maybe I'll get lucky," or anything of the sort before making a bad decision. Usually I just think something more along the lines of "oh dear spirits I'm really about to die this time."

And then, save the once, I'd always get lucky and live.

[THIS CONVERSATION IS BORING HIM TO TEARS.]

[Low attention span here.]

You're very. Very. Boring.

[bowplucker]

Am I? You must be easily bored.

[waysmarterthanyou]

[You have no idea.]

Or maybe you're just that dull.

[bowplucker]

This time I think I'll disagree!

[waysmarterthanyou]

Right. You do that, twerp.

[bowplucker]

Hey, hey, what's with the weird name? It's Wil, didn't I say?

[waysmarterthanyou]

You did, didn't you? It's very fortunate that I don't care.

[bowplucker]

Well, if you're going to call me weird names, I don't see why I shouldn't also...

[waysmarterthanyou]

[An amused laugh]

Oh? And what do you have in mind, exactly?

[bowplucker]

Well, "Gary"'s pretty hard to shorten, isn't it... Say, did you have a second name?

[waysmarterthanyou]

Smith.

[Well, at least this is some kind of entertainment.]

[bowplucker]

Smith? Like a blacksmith? That seems like a funny name for you all on its own.

[ YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU COULD SMITH ANYTHING ]

[waysmarterthanyou]

Is that really the best you can do?

[KEEP TRYING THOUGH IT'S FUNNY]

[bowplucker]

The best I can do for what?

It is weird, though; how'd you end up with a name like Smith?

[waysmarterthanyou]

[...]

[Sigh...]

It's the product of moronic and unimaginative parents, obviously.

[bowplucker]

You shouldn't say that about your parents. It really doesn't suit you at all, though. Wouldn't a name like Scholar have been a better fit?

[waysmarterthanyou]

I should and I did.

[A pause]

Scholar? Tch. Talk about unimaginative.

[bowplucker]

You sound rather proud of that.

[waysmarterthanyou]

That would imply that I care.

1/3??

[bowplucker]

... I find it hard to be-

[bowplucker]

Ahh! Wait, I got it!

[bowplucker]

Lucky!
