[24] Video/Action for Goldenrod - "Hummingbirds Are Illegal Tender."

[Blake is at his desk in his headquarters, with the homemade American flag up on the wall behind him and a Snubbull in sunglasses standing cross-armed to the side. You know this is official, because he has gone to the trouble of combing his hair.

He's not in a tie, though. Fuck ties.]


Ladies, gentlemen, and giant bugs, listen up, because we got us a legal system.

That lawyer with the spiky head drew us up a code. What we have there is some real rules for a society. A court system, none of this crap where everybody gets a couple days picking up trash. I'm sending it out to you now.

[Everyone receiving the broadcast will now receive a copy of what, because Blake couldn't figure out how to change the file name, remains stillbetterthanmycollegethesis.docx]

It's a place to start. Now, I got a few things to add straight off.

[Blake clears his throat and holds up a sheet of paper.]

As of today, the law of the land includes the following:

  • No more rhinoceros street races at two in the god damn morning.

  • Chicken a la King is now to be known as Chicken a la Cosell, on the grounds that he is the superior announcer.

  • You are legally required to inform somebody that a glass is full of cow-monster milk before letting them drink it.

  • Anybody who uses the word "celeb," "delish," "guesstimate," or "bromance" shall receive a swift kick in the ass.

  • Same goes for anybody who who talks about their low-carb diet or their goddamn Crossfit routine.

  • If your electric rat knocks out the cable, it'd better be able to fix it.

  • Movies that you have to read are now officially classified as books.

  • All males over the age of 12 must know how to change a tire.

  • Anybody who walks around staring at their cell phone is fair game to get tripped on the legal basis that they are asking for it.

  • If you are making a work of fiction, you are prohibited from putting in a dog just so you can kill it to try make everybody sad.

And, last but not least,

[He is interrupted by an echoing, chittering primate yawp that seems to come from the grated vent above the part of the wall covered by the flag. His confident expression becomes a ferocious scowl.]

Somebody get this goddamn monkey out of the walls!



[Shortly afterwards, this is followed by an IMPORTANT UPATE.]

Number three is a good rule.

It's kind of gross that people think it's okay to just not tell others that they're drinking the body fluids of one of these animals.

[FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS]

Exactly! Do humans really not know how weird it is to be drinking this stuff that just.... comes out of one of those animals like that?

[Legal system? Well, it sounds important, so he'd better listen.

...what is this.]


Um... If you don't mind, I have a few questions about some of these...?
stonebones: (omg you guys stop acting like children)

Okay! Let's see. [Where does he even start...] Is cow-monster milk really that different from regular cow or goat milk? Is there something wrong with it?

[An easier one, for now.]

...I'd laugh, but I don't think you're actually joking...

Laws and law enforcement don't help the average person, you know. Just the rich and powerful people.

[... OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD NOW PHOENIX IS INVOLVED IN THIS MESS? She knew he'd been talking about writing up a new set of laws, but good grief...]

[On the other hand, though, she can do nothing but crack the fuck up at Blake's amendments.]


HAHA, joke's on you ol' man, if you want me to stop riding my giant animals up and down the streets at two in the morning, you're gonna have to catch me!

[SHE ACTUALLY DOESN'T DO THAT. But now she's going to.]

[She loves you, Blake, she swears.]

[okay his thoughts on your whole government experiment are still 'that's nice, you do that and leave me out of it', but one of these...]

...If you needed to change it for some reason, wouldn't you just bring it to somebody who knows how...?

[Medieval fantasy, everybody. In nearly five years, he would have figured out what a modern tire is, but there are no car dealerships in Johto.]

...You know, I find it difficult to believe that a certified lawyer would approve a law as sexist as number eight. And law number three should probably also apply to eggs from pink nurse monsters, just to be fair.

[There's a thousand problems with their new set of laws, but he'll start with the easy ones.]

One person ain't the system, don't take it personal.

I seen an innocent kid with all the brain of a five year old hauled off to jail and beaten to death, just 'cause the system needed a scapegoat and we were poor and different. While the rich, well connected psycho killer kept on getting away with it.

I've got no problem with how things work here.

This list is delish, Blake, I guesstimate with these ideas that you'll be a celeb around the region in no time.

Uhm... some of these are kind of weird. I mean, who still does Crossfit nowadays?

[She respects you and all, but really, Blake? AND PHOENIX. FOR SHAME. The document does have a great name, though.]

Why do they have to know how to change a tire without cars around?
fony: (but WHY is the rum gone?)

[There are so many things he can comment on, he doesn't know where to start.]

... But what if you're an adult and doesn't know how to change a tire? And how's that important when we don't see a lot of vehicles here?

Except that there aren't carriages here. And those... car things? I'd rather fly, Gail would rather fly, there's no reason for me to learn to drive even if anywhere sold those.
