teddogIt's been a long while since I've revisited this idea. Steff and I were kicking this around last winter. If you're not familiar with these, here's the history:
Part One - http://slwatson.livejournal.com/90115.html
Part Two - http://commanderteddog.livejournal.com/459785.html
Part Three - http://slwatson.livejournal.com/92823.html
Part Four - http://commanderteddog.livejournal.com/460810.html
It's a crossover that makes NO SENSE other than cuteness and goofiness. And now, part five!
Allaidh: I swear, I sometimes wonder about what students are picking up in science classes today.
SignalPirate: I've been wondering that myself. I know there's reports from back home that registrations for science classes are dropping by the day. It's going to be a depressing world once they're out in the workforce.
Allaidh: Already is. I made a joke about quantitative and qualitative measurements and our captain to one of our new kids and he looked at me like I was speaking Klingon.
SignalPirate: HA! Wouldn't have expected you to make a joke like that on the clock.
Allaidh: It was about his girlfriends.
SignalPirate: Oh. OHHH! This line isn't tapped or anything like that. I mean, you're not going to get busted for chatting about that at work?
Allaidh: Not a chance. You?
SignalPirate: My friend/coworker can see, but she doesn't really have a problem with it. She only gets cranky if I go on about robots.
SignalPirate has logged off.
SignalPirate has logged on.
SignalPirate: Like that.
Allaidh: Odd company you keep.
SignalPirate: You don't want to see what she just said about you. But yeah, it's like kids today can't see the value of science outside of the classroom! Like, in sports!
Allaidh: Sports?
SignalPirate: Oh yes. I managed to take over as captain of my high school hockey team for a season by manipulating my physics knowledge to outsmart the other teams.
Allaidh: Isn't that cheating?
SignalPirate: It's just reusing the information in the world around you. So, not really cheating.
Allaidh: Ever thought of applying that knowledge elsewhere, like cleaning out those coffee grinds?
SignalPirate: I hadn't thought of that. But haven't you used science in sports, though?
Allaidh: Not really. I liked jogging, but nothing on a science level. Rather, more to step away from it.
SignalPirate: Not even in the sense of how walking works to begin with?
Allaidh: No. I think you have too much free time on your hands. And I don't have enough. Just had a call. I'll be back later.
Allaidh is away.
