With all of yesterday behind us, I think it is worth hearing...beauty is something you notice, but charm is something that has noticed you.

Why don't you tell me about how Australians all wrangle crocodiles and eat at Outback?

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Some of us wrangle crocs. You're actually offended?

[fatespoken]

And scar the world with Uggs.

<font size='1">[ He's not really. Just wanted an excuse to bother Chase. ]

And oppress the people of Tibet.

No, wait...

[fatespoken]

Hong Kong. Not the mainland.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Last I heard Australia doesn't go in for organ harvesting without consent or forced labour, either. But the ugg boots are a crime.

[fatespoken]

And most Chinese in Hong Kong don't consider themselves a part of the Mainland.

They are a crime.

I guess I could go into the war crimes of the last occupiers, but I'd be shooting myself in the foot. And I'd hate to ruin these boots.

[fatespoken]

I guess that sort of implies we have a vague, non-blood related connection.

... I'll do it for you.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

I guess it does. Suddenly I feel so much closer to you.

Eden told me you're a lousy shot.

[No, she didn't.]

[fatespoken]

That could be the case with anyone.

Not like I've been in a position where I needed to fire a gun.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Anyone from a former colony. Did you actually live there?

Apparently a good thing.

[fatespoken]

Around two years total, if you glue the months together. And everyone's related, in a sense. I'm sure you know that.

Undoubtedly.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Take anyone's ancestry back 700 years and they end up with more direct ancestors than people on the planet. Some of them would have to be British.

[fatespoken]

Which means I get left out in that familial connection. Somewhat, at least.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, because... you're descended from pod people?

[fatespoken]

Because my mother is capable of asexual reproduction.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Then you're probably related to some british fish.

[fatespoken]

Or a plant.

Makes almost as much sense as a parent born two thousand years ago.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

That depends on your definition of sense. Two thousand years stagnation hardly takes you out of the gene pool.

[fatespoken]

It doesn't make mcuh sense for a fish to produce a human.

Even a British fish.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Not without amphibian and reptilian stages in between, maybe. On the other hand, what makes sense would logically differ between worlds.

[fatespoken]

Or it might be absurd even in its respective world.

... Were the gills that noticeable?

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

You might want to try a turtleneck.

[fatespoken]

I've always hated those.
