This is the first meal grown in the new soil of our new home!! Rabid: I guess a pear is a meal... Dr Quickly: Hootie-hoo! The Museum of Colonization closing because of a chronic attendance deficit! Rabid: Just being alive is a miserable enough reminder of our tedious life here. Dr Quickly: And now, the first message from our sister ship's colony on SEXULON PRIME! Rabid: Finally a break from the monotony. Rabish: Sexulon Prime is so fun all the time always! It never stops being fun!! Rabid: Hell's ass! No fair!! Dr Quickly: Ha ha! We fooled everybody into thinking there was a second colony ship!! Rabish: Please don't forget to give me double pear ration for dinner tonight like you promised if I helped...
