[Bucky has been doing some reading. Quite a lot of reading, about New York, and how it;s changed over the years he's missed, what's gone on -- well, as much as he can manage. And he has noticed one very important thing, here. He fixes the comm with a very serious look, before asking:]

....So, who do I need to yell at for not tellin' me the Dodgers left Brooklyn? Los Angeles doesn't even have trolleys, why do they need a team called the Dodgers.

[A little mutter:] At least the Mets are around, so we don't have to root for the Yankees.

...Well, the one I grew up with was about as big around as a stick and asthmatic. And he couldn't talk to girls for anything. Still can't.

Okay, so maybe I wouldn't be coerced to buy war bonds from him if he couldn't come up to me and sell them.

voice;

[deadandred]

So can I assume you'd buy 'em from me?

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Probably. If you bought me dinner first.

voice;

[deadandred]

Ain't any war bonds here, but can I buy ya dinner sometime anyway? ...Or whatever there is around here, I guess.

[thenormalsquint]

I'm not going to turn down food and company. As long as it's not canned peaches. I've had that every meal since I got here.

voice;

[deadandred]

It won't be, if I never have any more canned food, I'll be pretty happy, I think.

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Or C rations. Is that what you guys called it back then?

voice;

[deadandred]

It sure was. Canned meat is a helluva lot better than no meat, I guess.

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Personally, I'll go for vegetarianism over canned meat, but that's just me.

voice;

[deadandred]

....Why would you eat only vegetables if you don't have to? [....Yeah, this is a guy who grew up in the Great Depression. Sorry, Angela.]

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Anything is better than canned meat.

voice;

[deadandred]

Food is food.

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Yeah, but there are just some things I won't eat. Like Spam. Spam is not food, no matter how much they want to convince me it is.

[Welcome to a child of the later years and privilege, Bucky.]

voice;

[deadandred]

Spam is better than starving.

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

True, but if I have a choice, I'm choosing salad.

voice;

[deadandred]

And if you don't?

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Guess I'm eating Spam. I'm not going to enjoy it though. Life's too short to do something you don't enjoy.

voice;

[deadandred]

...True enough.

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

[She laughs.] I knew you'd eventually agree with me.

voice;

[deadandred]

Well, life is short.

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

So don't spend it on canned ham if you don't have to.

voice;

[deadandred]

Alright, that's fair.
