Here ya go.

Woo! About time you got back with drinks.

Sorry. Did you know at the back of the bar there’s this guy… who’s spouting off about how Sesame Street is promoting a pro-terrorist agenda?

What?

I know! Crazy times.

And this caused a delay in my drink?

In all of our drinks. Hey, where’s Sven?

He went to the bathroom.

Oh, ok.

That took forever!

We were just talking about you.

Sure, but did you know in the back of the bar there’s this guy…

Talking about how Sesame Street is promoting a pro-terrorist agenda?

Spouting, even?

That’d be the one.

So now I wonder. How is it doing that?

Hmm?

Sesame Street.

How does it promote a pro-terrorist agenda?

Exactly. What were his arguments?

Uhm, I didn’t really listen.

Me either.

But you both heard enough to know what he was talking about!

Well, yeah.

Doesn’t mean we were paying attention.

No, see, it does! You had to hear enough and pay enough attention to know what he was talking about. So what was he saying?

Uhmmm. Let’s see. He said “Sesame Street promotes a pro-terrorist agenda!” and hmm…

I stopped listening after that.

Yeah me too.

You guys suck. Don’t you want to know what his brain gathered to reach his odd conclusion?

Not really.

Come on! Sven?

It was going to be crazy babble. Why would I want to hear it?

So we could mock it?

… oh. All right, decent point.

Do we really need to hear his argument to mock it?

Another fine point!

Well then we’re just mocking one sentence. Maybe he thought that Oscar, living in a garbage can, was a symbol of the failure of capitalism. And that everyone ignoring him was a sign that we should break free of our blasé elements and shatter our bonds, through terrorist acts and change the system!

I… I don’t care if that was his point. I’m taking it as his and loving it.

How do they specifically end up at terrorism though?

Elmo.

Of course!

All that tickling.

It’s horrible.

It is.

You should go join this guy’s side, Jake.

No. No I don’t think so. I was just trying to show you why you could’ve, no, should’ve listened to him.

Because he might have been able to come up with something crazier than you?

Exactly!

Well, I’m going back there. You guys coming.

No, the moment has passed for me.

I have a drink and we have a table. The hell with it.

All right, fine. So did either of you bring the crossword for me?

Why do you make us bring the paper for you to do the crossword in it?

I like doing the crossword puzzle!

So buy your own paper!

Why, if you’ll give me yours?

He has us there.

We just feed his strange behaviors.

Like Elmo.

Exactly like.
