Such gentlemanly conduct on the battlefield warrants a tip of the cap. Well done Marine Tech!

Also, no.

You may however smoosh your other muffin if you so choose.

If you've eaten it already, no smooshing.

Awwww maaaaaannnnn.

You never let me have any fun.

[Virlutris]

Fun?




Fun I like

It's being smooshed I'm not so fond of.

[MarineTech]

Have you ever been smooshed?

It could be fun.

[Tank]

Sometimes I feel I should not be here... you know that...

[Virlutris]

The only trouble with "try it, you might like it" as a philosophy,
as applied to the phenomenon of "being smooshed,"
is that if you try it and don't like it ...



you're still smooshed.

Your options for choosing to "not be smooshed" in the future,
"because I tried it once,"
are more limited than I'd care for at that point.

Tell you what.

Let me smoosh you just a little bit.

So you can see if it works for you.

Then we can reassess the situation.

[Virlutris]

See, I'm still not convinced that the "smoosh you just a little bit" thing won't still result in un-smooshable injuries.

I'm not concinved that current cybernetics are a viable solution, either.

And, based on case studies and personal testimonies of folks who've been "smooshed just a little bit" by various and sundry means,
I have to state frankly that I'm not liking the prevailing pattern of debilitation that results from even a partial smooshing.

No, I think I'll pass, because my initial assessment, based on available evidence,
leads me to believe that I would not, in fact, enjoy
--even a little--
being smooshed
--even a little.

What if Wanda and Ruth here smooshed you?

They're hawt.

We could smoosh you between 'em.

Well, now ...

We've equivocated, but in a workable direction. Definitions are important.

So long as we're clear that smooshing-between-lovelies is a different (quite agreeable) kind of smooshing than smooshing-by-mech,



Then no, I have no opposition to smooshing-between-lovelies.

[MarineTech]

OK then.

Wanda will get in her Trebuchet, and

Ruth will get in her Hunchback, and

they'll smoosh you between them.

[Virlutris]

See, that's the kind of smooshed-by-mech equivocation that I was specifically not agreeing to.

This lack of regard for definitions is why we can't have nice things.

Good thing I'm in my Griffin, though that's still gonna ding the fenders before I can finish sorting things out.

I'm not looking forward to explaining this to the AsTechs in my maintenance crew.

Though maybe I can requisition a new paint job ...

You almost make me want to stop trying.

Luckily, I'm very energetic.

[Virlutris]

Almost?

Well that's no fun.

I still don't really want to be smooshed.

Can we contract out the role of "smooshed" to someone else?

Domo might be interested in a good smooshing.

[MarineTech]

Domo's no fun to smoosh.

He laughs and follows you home

saying "Do it again! Do it again!"

[Virlutris]

Well see, that's why I thought of him.

He's not only be willing, he's be enthusiastic about participating.

Sadly, I'm neither, with regard to smooshing.

Hm.

[MarineTech]

That's the whole point of smooshing.

The smooshee isn't supposed to enjoy it.

[Virlutris]

Precisely why I'd prefer not to.

It's like we're communcating, but not.

[MarineTech]

It's like you're fun...

But not.
