Pete Would Not Function Well In Old Days

“Pete, congratulations on defeating your enemy.”

“-huff- -huff- yeah.  Thanks.  Um, thanks, Gandorf.”

“Now that you have slain him, you must eat his eyes and gain his strength.”

“What?  Oh, no.  That’s okay.  I’m feeling pretty good here.  I think I’ll be alright with this amount of strength for now.”

“No, it is custom.  You must.”

“I’m just not comfortable with it.  I don’t want to pop it out of the guy’s head, and even less than that, I don’t want to eat it.”

“How will you gain strength?”

“I had enough strength to stab this asshole in the first place.  I already won.  I’m fine.  Let’s drop the eyeball thing, please.”

“This is how things are done here, Pete.  I know that many of our ways are strange to you.  I know that you came here through a great swirling hole in the sky that happened because, as you say, you tried to play a Sega Genesis game in a Super Nintendo.  But you must do this.”

“Look, this is not something I’m into, I don’t want to feel an eyeball crush between my teeth, and if I had known about this eyeball stuff I would have tried to kill a guy with less yellow eyes.  This guy’s eyes are disgusting.”

“If you will not eat the eyes, then you must eat his heart.”

“…can I put it in a smoker first?  With some cedar chips?  And maybe eat it mixed in with some brisket?”

“What is a smoker?  And cedar chips.”

[throws down sword in disgust] “This place is total bullshit.”
