| Matt: | become the true legend |
| Matt: | become the Hero of Time. |
| Matt: | generally, just follow my lead. |
| Gary: | Ok, I’ll need: 1) a sword, 2) a patch of facial hair, 3) a smug grin, 4) a black and white picture, 5) an unbreakable feeling of being permenantly right |
| Matt: | amen to that! |
| Matt: | 1 is great anyway. 2 has served me well. 3 I do try to suppress a bit. 4 got me into the top ten percent of Hot or Not dudes. |
| Matt: | and 5 is essential. |
| Gary: | I could do the first 4 |
| Matt: | why not 5? |
| Gary: | but as a matter of character, I have to accept 5 might not be right. |
| Gary: | well, the first step to being open-minded is admitting you might be wrong. |
| Gary: | and I consider myself open-minded above all else |
| Matt: | good way to be |
| Matt: | I consider myself ace above all all else |
| Gary: | well, if it helps, I do consider myself to be one of the 6 all-time hardcore legends |
| Matt: | who are the other 5? |
| Gary: | You (because you believe it), D (because we all knows it), Neil (cos he’s a hardcore drinking legend), Koi (because he is the danger.) and of course Kurt Cobain |
| Gary: | because there’s nothing more hardcore or legendary than writing your eternal epitaph with a shotgun. |
| Matt: | god damn right |
| Gary: | you knows it. |
| Gary: | while there are some other legends about, I don’t think anyone else in history has reached hardcore legend status |
| Gary: | and to find so many near each other at once must be a sign of some forthcoming apocalypse |
| Gary: | of ROCK! |
| Matt: | DAMN STRAIGHT |
| Matt: | man this is bloggable |
| Gary: | blog away, young padawan |
| Matt: | may well do that later |
| Gary: | although mark might not appreciate it too much |
| Matt: | legend in training |
| Gary: | exactly, if he’d just stop panicking and starting living, we might finish the cult of 7! |
| Gary: | (after digging up Kurt, of course). |
| Matt: | magic number that |
| Gary: | 7 is the key number |
| Matt: | dudes only? |
| Gary: | umm, so far |
| Gary: | If a chick can make it to hardcore legend before the boy, then she’d be more than welcome |
| Matt: | be a turnup for the books |
| Gary: | true |
| Gary: | very few even get to the legend rank |
| Gary: | something about the selfish aceness about it all that they can’t do |
| Matt: | it’s true |
| Matt: | they may be “better people”, |
| Matt: | but never Legends. |
| Gary: | A true Legend (not Hardcore Legend) has to put being the acest they can be before almost everything |
| Gary: | for by being ace, they enhance the aceness of the surrounding world |
| Gary: | that is the true meaning of ace |
| Gary: | and, by proxy, Legend. |
| Matt: | that’s exactly my feeling |
| Matt: | it’s actually a wonder there’s not been some kind of black hole or something formed in the lab |
| Gary: | sometimes, on the late project nights, the extreme closeness of the group did cause nearby lightbulbs to consider exploding themselves out of awe. |
| Gary: | just you wait until we’ve got a 7th Hardcore Legend. That’s when the shit really begins. |
| Matt: | 7 is the big one |
| Matt: | that’s when you get stuff like planetary alignments once every ten thousand years etc |
| Matt: | shit starts going DOWN |
| Gary: | seriously, thats end-time stuff |
| Gary: | I’m sure theres a bit in the book of revelations about it |
| Gary: | and if not a rewrite is in order |
| Matt: | mayans probably knew about this |
| Gary: | they probably sacrificed a whole mess of virgins to make it possible |
| Gary: | should, you know, get them a drink or something |
| Matt: | drop a forty |
| Gary: | pour one out for our dead homies from the wayback |
