“Never reinforce failure, always reinforce success.” Somebody on Team Mopey, more likely than not Megumi, seems to be familiar with that principle. A first dose of the highly fortified ice-cream cup did show promising results…the ice between the two scheduled-to-be-lovebirds has clearly been broken, and the incredible awkwardness has been dispelled. Actually, it’s not a horrible date right now.
From that basis a second dose of the very special ice-cream cup should have a good chance of bringing the thing across the finish line. >_> Surrender not being an option for Megumi, doubling-down is the obvious alternative.
Since people don’t usually get two ice-cream cups from an orthodox jew one right after the other, Megumi seems to have delegated the task of delivering the (quite possibly literal) coupe-de-grace to a Viking gentleman instead. That should work well enough…after all, how would two Canadapanian teens know enough about Scandinavia to rule out the existence of such a feast day and such a tradition? Non-Vikings are usually happy enough just not to be confronted with the better-known “rape and burn” tradition for Scandinavia day.
Not sure where that gentleman is from, though. Clearly Scandinavia, but which part of it? “Perkele” is a word from the Finnish language…it is, however, also the only word in the Finnish language, so the fact that the gentleman also uses words that are not “Perkele” proves that he can’t be a Finn. Aside from the fact that he used 31 words in total, which would be more of a full month’s allotment for a true Finn, rather than something he’d waste on a single encounter.
More on Thursday.
