Oh, i hate delving. |
Delves? Where? |
||
|
|
|
||
|
Where what? |
The delves! Are they attacking? Nasty little creatures, delves. Except for Santa's delves, of course. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
No, not 'delves,' delving. You know, walking around underground spaces. |
Oh, that's spelunking. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
No, spelunking is when you throw rocks in a river, and the sound is 'Splash-Plunk' or 'Splunk.' You mean dungeoning. |
I don't think dungeon is a verb. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
EVERYTHING is a verb, eventually. |
What do you mean? |
||
|
|
|
||
|
Well, for example, every body part is a noun, right? |
Right. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
But most of them are also verbs. Look, I can elbow you in the chin, and knee you in the secret private boy parts, but if you can stomach it, you won't voice your complaint. I can palm a knife and gut you, then leg it north, as I head for the road. |
So verbified nouns are violent. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
Shaddup. I ankle along until i eye a tavern. I belly up to the bar, and the bouncer won't boot me as long as I toe the line and don't mouth off. |
What about the body parts that aren't nouns? |
||
|
|
|
||
|
What body parts aren't nouns? |
The pronouns! |
||
|
|
|
||
|
Pronouns? |
Eye, ewe. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
I and eye are two different words, you numbnuts. |
You and who? |
||
|
|
|
||
|
No, ewe. |
Ewe isn't a body part. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
You saying ewes are non-corporeal beings? |
Corporals? They were never even privates! |
||
|
|
|
||
|
What does rank have to do with the physicality of non-sentient beings inhabiting our collective reality? |
Huh? |
||
|
|
|
||
|
Anyway: a ewe isn't a part of the body. |
Sure it is. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
No, it isn't. |
What's mutton? |
||
|
|
|
||
|
It's the flesh of a sheep. |
So, a haunch of mutton is a sheep's body part? |
||
|
|
|
||
|
Yes, you could say that. |
Well, if sheep are made up of body parts, then sheep obviously IS body parts! |
||
|
|
|
||
|
That's specious! |
Species? No, i think you mean genus. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
No, it's too stupid to be genius. |
No, not genius, genus. Like order. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
Marching order? |
Say, where are we? |
||
|
|
|
||
|
Are we lost? |
Who was mapping? |
||
|
|
|
||
|
Doh! I, uh, got caught up in the argument. |
Ooooooooh. I hate delving. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
DELVES!?! |
