Adventure 29 | [Video]

[So the video feed opens, and unsurprisingly, it's Arthur in front of a tank of fish. He looks unusually serious.]

So, guys, I kind of got to thinking...SERIOUSLY thinking...

[Wait, what? Arthur's been thinking?]

And you know, there are some things in life, you just take for GRANTED! But then one day, your bus gets stuck in traffic, and you've just got to WONDER! Thinking kind of hard on things you've just accepted for YEARS! I mean, stuff I've just gone with ALL MY LIFE! And, well...

[There's a long, dramatic pause before he continues.]

How much luggage could you REALLY bring on a THREE HOUR TOUR, anyway?

Okay, I SUPPOSE that makes sense! But for ALL OF THEM except for the PROFESSOR to have that much luggage? Was the Professor the only one who could PLAN?

[Wait, wait...]

OUTRAGEOUS! I suppose that DOES make sense--he was THE SMARTEST ONE OF THEM ALL, after all!

[nowi_wins]

Yeah, the others were kinda dumb. But I think it makes sense for Gilligan and the Skipper to have a bunch of stuff with them. I mean, for all we know they just lived on the boat.

I think the weirdest thing is all the money the rich guy had with him. Did people ever really carry that much cash? Even rich people?

[italktofish]

You know, I DON'T KNOW! Maybe I should ask Granny! She'd know what stuff was like back then!

video

[nowi_wins]

Great idea! Maybe I should ask Grandpa. Old people know all kinds of neat stuff.

video

[italktofish]

They really do! IT'S IMPORTANT TO LEARN FROM OUR ELDERS!

video

[nowi_wins]

Yeah, but...

[She giggles.]

Do you always yell this much?

video

[italktofish]

I'm not YELLING, I'm just TALKING LOUDLY! So, for me, that's PERFECTLY NORMAL!

video

[nowi_wins]

Isn't talking loudly the same thing as yelling?

video

[italktofish]

NOPE! It's YELLING if you're TRYING to be loud, but I'm not TRYING! I just AM!

video

[nowi_wins]

Haha, okay. I guess that's fair. It must be kind of awkward though.

[And sort of funny. She's picturing him at libraries and theaters. ]

video

[italktofish]

Nah, it's not awkward, it's just OUTRAGEOUS!

[Like everything else he does, he thinks.]

video

[nowi_wins]

It's sure something alright. But I bet being really loud is good for some things.

video

[italktofish]

It's OUTRAGEOUS when I need to hail a cab!

video

[nowi_wins]

Yeah, or when you need to get someone's attention in a really crowded room.

video

[italktofish]

That is DEFINITELY one of my special skills!

video

[nowi_wins]

Haha, special huh? So is that your cool super power?

video

[italktofish]

Nope! My special powers are BREATHING UNDERWATER AND TALKING TO FISH!

video

[nowi_wins]

Oh, wow that sounds awesome! What kinda stuff do fish talk about?

video

[italktofish]

LOTS of things! Water quality and food and INFOMERCIALS!

video

[nowi_wins]

There are fish infomercials? I didn't even know fish had TV!

video

[italktofish]

Well, I leave the TV on FOR them! They REALLY seem to enjoy it!

video

[nowi_wins]

Seriously? I wouldn't think they could follow a TV show.

So I guess that thing about fish having really short memories isn't true.

video

[italktofish]

Oh, they remember stuff, all right! But they seem to like the COMMERCIALS better than the actual TV shows!

video

[nowi_wins]

For real? The commercials?

[She giggles. For some reason, goldfish excitedly watching commercials is just really adorable in her head.]

So do they ever ask you to buy them stuff? Like the stuff in the commercials, I mean?

video

[italktofish]

ALL THE TIME! They want me to get them some of those HD Vision sunglasses, but they don't MAKE those in FISH SIZES!
