[Someone's bored at work again- or at least acting bored.]

I just had this ad come across my desk for approval.

[Castle holds up a printed page:]



I wonder what sort of flavors it comes in? Scotch, perhaps? Beef? Venison? GUNPOWDER?

[Yeah, he's laughing.]

Beef jerky, obviously. [A beat.] Five dollars for lip balm? Really?

I didn't even notice that part- I was too busy noticing more hair growing on my face and chest from the manliness.

Careful. Next, you're going to trade in your car for a motorcycle and a lot of leather.

And then nobody will be able to recognize me. Maybe I should add a bandana and some tattoos.

[abadidea]

I could build you a bike if you want.

I have a hovervespa, actually- unless that's not manly enough. Maybe we can paint flames on the side.

[abadidea]

...if you think a vespa's manly, chapstick isn't going to help your image, Castle.

[thebestseller]

Exactly. I am doomed to forever be un-hip.

You're a dad, I think it's allowed. [A beat.] I don't know what my problem is. I guess I've just always been a nerd who liked to tinker with stuff, and possibly accidentally blow them up.

There you go, then- spend your life around machines and you become more hip with them than with other people.

[abadidea]

...thanks, Castle. I needed that.

[thebestseller]

Any time.

Something up? Is this a "dark bar and pint of beer"-type problem, perhaps?

( video )

[abadidea]

...dark bars and me never mix well, Castle, but thanks for the offer.

I wouldn't turn down splitting a six pack and just hanging out, though.

[thebestseller]

Touche. Dark bars can lead to trouble pretty fast.

I can do that. You more the name-brand type, or could you choke down some microbrew?

[abadidea]

Not to mention they can be pretty damned depressing.

I'm not picky if that's what you mean.
