031: In Which "Retro Cool" Is Sometimes An Oxymoron

[search2destroy]

Okay, full disclosure here. The Red Scare? Excellent stuff, one of the best things in the last century. And I really do like some of the fashion, certainly I can't complain about being given things in pinstripes.

But beyond that, and I know you're just clapping your hands with glee, old man, fuck fifties week. If I wanted my apartment clean I'd

Mother, your language is shameful. And you should have a man in your life. Every woman needs a good man to take care of.

[search2destroy]

... yeah, you're disowned until this week is over.

[dorightorelse]

Oh how silly you are, mother. I can't in good conscience let that stand, for then no one will be there to take care of you should the Communists make a stand against this country.

[search2destroy]

Oh, dear, but I thought it was women who were supposed to be taking care of men, not the other way around!

Yeah, no. You're embarrassing the family name, kiddo.

[dorightorelse]

Mother, how can you be so mixed up? Women take care of men in the home, it's the mens job to protect the women and the home.

Also, I do feel you need to speak with Pseudo about her language. It's getting very appalling.

I was going to make a sarcastic rebuttal but it's oddly less fun when it's your own kid who's gone batshit insane. So, to condense it; shut the fuck up, Horcus.

[dorightorelse]

Mother! How can you use such language! I'm only trying to look out for the family!

[search2destroy]

And you're really doing a bang-up job of that right now.

[dorightorelse]

The implied tone is unnecessary.

[search2destroy]

No, since you're not getting the "right now you are seriously embarrassing me and my family's reputation" message the implied tone is very fucking necessary.

[dorightorelse]

How like a woman, so easily confused. Your behavior is regrettable mother, I'm afraid I'm going to have to take you to task for this.

[search2destroy]

Oh, this is just pathetic. Though I'm looking forward to Athena's inevitable reaction, to be fair.

[dorightorelse]

Athena has manners and does not use such vulgar language, and I will thank you not to bring her into this conversation again. It has nothing to do with her.

[search2destroy]

Indeed. And she's just huge on phrases like "how like a woman, so easily confused." You're just going to light up her life, slugger.

[dorightorelse]

Athena is the exception. She knows how to handle herself with grace like a good woman. We will be ending this line of conversation now.

Awww, did I hit a nerve?
