Mads Call #3

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

[Not that long after the fire breaks out on the SOL, the Mads decide to give the Satellite a call. Dr. F appears on the screen, looking highly amused.]

Ahhhh, nothing smells quite like Christmas spirit like seeing space nuts roasting on an open fire!

What's the matter, yule log get out of hand? I do hope you try it again soon!

Oh yeah, Clay, it was a real blast.

Hey, why don't you try it some time?

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

A nice fiery blast!

Explosions? Ohhh, now don't you worry your nerdy little head, I've got plenty of experience with those. They make a much better spectator sport.

[You do realize she doesn't take "nerd" as an insult, right?]

Oh yeah, you really BURNED me there.

We've been up here putting up with your experiments for two months now. Haven't missed a single one, either. I think we've earned a little entertainment.

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

Well I'm not ASHing much of you!

You want entertainment? Get it yourself! Do I look like your electronic babysitter?

Or perhaps maybe you're feeling a little...DESPAIR?!

I know, right? Nice roasted chestnuts are totally one of the best parts of winter! Right behind holiday parties and presents and cookies and hot chocolate! They're the FOURTH best thing!

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

Well yes, especially if you put some marshmallows in the--

NO! I mean YOU! All of you are the roasted nuts! You roasted nut!

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

Well, duh! Who would make hot chocolate without marshmallows? It's like totally the best part!

Aw, thanks! You're a roasted nut, too!

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

Well, mother does, but that's because she's allergic.

That. NNNNNGH!

[Squints a bit at the statement, then shrugs.]

Are you just terrible at metaphors, or do you have synesthesia?

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

A Christmas metaphor is appropriate any time!

...At. Christmas. Yes.

[solmidna.livejournal.com]

Saying that you can see scents is a stupid metaphor at any time of year.

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

You're just trying to undercut the subtle nuance of my "Smells Like Teen Spirit" joke, aren't you?

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Why? Oh right, I forgot, there's nobody hot where you live. Even in the mirror.

Re: [...Skirts edge of IC for lols]

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

We're scientists! The only hot we need is the scientific heat given by bunsen burners!

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Defensive, huh?

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

Noooooooo. Just. Saying!

[punsofiron.livejournal.com]

Aww, come now. Frank's not too bad on the eyes.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

[Eyebrow raise.] Maybe a girl would have a better opinion.

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh yeeeeeeah. Not bad on the ears or the nose or the toes, either!

HyUCK-guh-eeeeee!

[buildingproblem.livejournal.com]

Well now Doc, that's just coald. What's got your corncob pipe in a twist?

Still, gotta wish you ho ho's a Merry Christmas.

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

I'll tell you what's 'coald,' mister! Your future! It's cold...as...snowmen. In a blizzard!

Oh, Merry Christmas to you, too.

[punsofiron.livejournal.com]

Got cold feet on that pun there, did ya Dr. F?

[alleyenobrain.livejournal.com]

Actually, to be honest, things burning in space turn out to smell a lot like things burning on Earth.

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

I would berate you for not getting that joke, small robot whoever heard of you robots not getting a good joke, anyway? But It'd rather just congratulate you on the evening's entertainment!

[alleyenobrain.livejournal.com]

I got it! Just thought you should know, you know, science types, might want to get your data straight. Important.

And listen, I'm really getting pretty sick of the sarcasm and grumpiness around here, can we seriously just drop it?
