unpopular opinions

Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

You should try going to the arcade sometime. It's fun!

Well duh. He's my friend. We wouldn't be friends if he hated me. I mean, it's annoying as hell, but I'm good at getting him back.

[horticulturalist]

Yeah? What should I uhh... like what game should I play? Something for a real beginner.

Just checking. Not everybody can spot a friend who isn't actually a friend.

[skeddie]

Um... Pac Man! Or Tetris! Or Frogger!

I'm pretty sure he's my best friend so I think I'll be okay. Thanks for looking out for me.

[horticulturalist]

Am I gonna need quarters? I'll have to get some quarters.

Oh. Well. You're welcome.
What's your name again?

[skeddie]

Yeah. You're gonna need a shitload of quarters. Especially if you're not very good, which you won't be 'cause you're new.

Oh! Sorry. My name's Eddie. My mom would kill me for talking to strangers but you seem okay. What's your name?

[horticulturalist]

Good to know. I wonder if I can still get into my bank account.

Nice to meet you Eddie.
I'm Larry.

[skeddie]

Because you're old? Probably. If you have your account number you can still get in. I have a savings account so I can tell you the latest. Also I volunteer as a form of ID if you need it.

[horticulturalist]

Well. That. And because I haven't shown my face—or any other face— in a bank for some fifty years. Hope I have any of that paper work still.

Maybe I'll take you up on that.
We need to verify your ID Mister Trainor.
Just call Eddie.

[skeddie]

You don't have to show your face! You can do the drive-through banking if it helps you feel better.

Oh sorry! My last name is Kaspbrak. That'll help you find me better and verify my identity too.

[horticulturalist]

I sure as shit hope not.
Maybe I can get them to send me a bank card...

Is that Polish?

[skeddie]

I dunno how those work, but yeah! You got an address?

Dude! How did you know? My grandma told me that our last name used to be [he pauses, scrunching his face in effort to get this right] Kabaciński [a pleased look at himself] back in the old days but it got changed.

[horticulturalist]

Me either.
Yeah. I guess I do. It's not mine exactly but. I can collect mail. I think.

I spent some time in Europe when I was young.

[skeddie]

Gimme your address sometime! I'll send you a postcard.

Cool! Did you see any castles?

[horticulturalist]

Yeah?
1888 Danny St. Covington, Ohio. I'll send one back. I've got some vintage ones. You like planes?

None that were still standing by the time I got there.

[skeddie]

Fuck yeah I like planes! I've only got postcards from where I live, I hope that's okay.

That's depressing, dude.

[horticulturalist]

I used to be a test pilot. I flew all the expensive planes and fighter jets the Air Force had. They were bitchin'.
I'd like that. I don't get to see a lot of new places.

Sorry. Most of my stories are.

[skeddie]

I live in Maine. I'd say come visit but it's kinda boring.

Well get some better ones. Or make 'em up.

[horticulturalist]

I hear it's really pretty there this time of year.

I'm really trying to get out of the habit of telling a lot of lies.

[skeddie]

I guess. We get leaf tourists. Who travels across the country for fucking leaves?

I'm not saying you gotta lie. I mean like making up a story like an author writes a book.

[horticulturalist]

Heh. People with nothing better to do I guess.

I think... that's only not a lie if I actually write a book.

[skeddie]

Didn't you ever tell ghost stories? Or have a parent tell you a bedtime story? Those weren't books.

[horticulturalist]

Oh. I see. I thought you meant— never mind.

Aren't ghost stories kind of depressing too?

[skeddie]

Nah, they're usually too crazy to be real and just end up funny.

[horticulturalist]

Hm. I definitely have stories that fit that description.
It can be kind of irritating though. When I'm finally being honest and every thinks it's a lie anyway.

[skeddie]

If you told me it was true I'd believe you.
