EXPERIMENTATIONS by BGM "I'm telling you Garak, I am NOT eating these ... these ... *things*!" What? Who's he calling things? Us? Yeah, I think so ... hey! Stop squirmin' over me, this was my place! I bet anything Slender boy here chickens out and doesn't touch us. I will have you KNOW that I am NOT a thing to be disgusted over! Oh shut up will you, and WHAT did I tell you about squirming over me?? Hey, will you guys keep it down, I am TRYING to listen to their conversation before Ridge Man there scoops me up! "They are not 'things', Doctor, this delicacy is called 'gagh'. And I thought it would be a valuable exercise in education for you to savour something ELSE than tarkalean tea and steak for a change. Hence our presence." Wow. I LIKE him. He's so ... so ... Erudite? What the hell does erudite mean?? Shut up and look lively. Oh no ... gods save me, I love you guys!! Bye! BYE! See you in Sto Vo Kor!!! Poor thing. Think we should tell him we don't go to Sto Vo Kor? Nah, let him die happy. "You eat it as so Doctor ... See? Nothing to it. "That's disgusting Garak. Those 'things' are alive, how can you eat those??" I'd like to know something ... why is this man persuing such a fruitless exercise in education with someone with such little mettle? Will you STOP using those damned words?? Not my fault you're such a vocabularily-impaired soul. Hey ... hey! What the hell does that mean? Ouch! Hey, don't bite me!! Oh ... oh guys shut up ... look ... Slender Boy there is reaching for us ... Will he ...? Hey ... Stop! That tickles! If you're gonna eat us, eat us! "Doctor, stop playing with your food." "I'm just touching ... oh gods ... I think I'm gonna be sick ..." Not on us!!! Quick, get to the bottom!! Hey, OUCH! Stop, you're hurting me! Then outta my way! I am NOT getting splayed with Humanoid vomit, thank you very much! "Doctor, you're incorrigible. Here, let us retire to our quarters. Evidently, you CANNOT find any romantic connotations in exotic foods." They're leaving ... HEY! I was NOT dragged away from my pool just to be abandonned! Don't worry ... here comes Worf ... I'm sure our Master will be devilish enough to re-serve us to him ... after all, we ARE a rare commodity on this station. I'll tell you one last time, STOP USING THEM BIG WORDS!! END
