ooh Mr. Gardner ooh

[heyisthatme]

I have to say, you have good taste. Was it my chiseled good looks? Or the famous Guy Gardner charm?

So, this is some kind of vacation. Now, I'm a busy guy, what with being part of the Corps Honor Guard and trying to save the universe from the Manhunters. They need their ace to pull them through this crisis. Long as you promise to put me right back where you found me, I think I can live with this.

Alright, vacation it is. Now where can I find one of those coconuts with the little umbrellas?

I believe Green Lantern Hal Jordan drank the last ones.

My apologies, Corps Honor Guard Guy Gardner.

[heyisthatme]

Of course he did.

Don't worry about it, dollface.

[looksfine]

..."dollface"?

[Please define.]

[heyisthatme]

It's a compliment. It means you look as pretty as a doll.

It's an Earth thing.

[looksfine]

A commentary on my physical appearance as related to a nonsentient female child's toy is meant to be complimentary?

[heyisthatme]

Exactly.

Hey, have you ever seen a doll?

[looksfine]

There are numerous records within my database as to their means of construction and cultural significance. In addition, I believe I can pull up at least one visual example.

[heyisthatme]

Alright. Look up a porcelain doll.

[A nod, and her eyes glow as a green-tinted visual appears before her]

Subject: Porcelean Doll. A doll made partially or wholly out of bisque porcelain. Bisque dolls are characterized by their realistic, skin-like matte finish. Colloquially, may also be in reference to the association of a female with delicacy, facility, and/or a borderline unnatural physical paleness in skin tone.

Is this how you perceive me, Corps Honor Guard Guy Gardner?

[heyisthatme]

Well, parts of it. I know better than to call you fragile.

And you're definitely not pale.

[looksfine]

Then what is the point of such an analogy if the emphasized attributes do not coincide?
