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!

[waysmarterthanyou]

What are you on about?

[bowplucker]

Your nickname!

[waysmarterthanyou]

I don't think so.

[bowplucker]

Why not? I like it!

[waysmarterthanyou]

It's completely stupid.

[bowplucker]

At least it's a word.

[waysmarterthanyou]

That's something you'd name a dog.

[bowplucker]

I don't have much experience with dogs at all, so it sounds like a perfectly good nickname for a person to me!

[waysmarterthanyou]

Anyone who's called Lucky is probably living in a rundown trailer park and missing most of his teeth.
