What? What the hell does this dog have to do with my pony? Man, what a slipshod operation you people are running here.

Michael Palin

Er, that's as good as a pony?

Wraithmaster

Come on already! I - want - a pooony! I - want - a pooony!

*hits fists on table rhythmically*

P.B.

WOOF.

Michael Palin

See? He neighed.

Wraithmaster

Man, this is like an IRC conversation where the parties involved have different typing rates, and their replies get way out of synch with eachother... my head hurts.

Michael Palin

All right, whatever you say, it's fine on this end mate.

Well, cash or charge?

Wraithmaster

Uhm. I have 76... no, 79 cents in loose change here on my desk...

Michael Palin

Oh that's no good. You won't even be able to buy him enough sticks of butter to feed 'im for even one week with 79 cents, much less the pony itself.

Wraithmaster

I... uh. I do web design work. Can I pay for it in trade?

And where did you find a pony that eats butter, anyway?

Michael Palin

Er...'es a trotter. Won the Hambletonian. They all eat butter, just like your famous Alexander Hambleton did.

And I'm afraid "web design work" is outside the realm of either cash or charge.

Wraithmaster

Aww, come on! Support the underground barter economy! Overthrow the oppressive capitalist plutocracy!

Dennis the Peasant

Now you're talking!

Michael Palin

Shut up.
