JEEVES: Rogert Q. Bagel. You-
JEEVES: Rogert Trichel Bagel. You have wronged me for the last time. Back at 7 (Place of Learning) I let you walk all over me. But I thought, at least you were supporting my venture - my website - my AskJeeves.com, where anyone can ask me anything and receive a 100% accurate and factual response! But as soon as that little mom n’ pop $2 billion internet startup Quorat or whatever entered the scene, you abandoned me.
ME: Yeah sure.
What topics are okay with you in comics and what topics should be totally off the table?
MICHAEL: They’re doing great, Rogert. Cleo’s just got her first tooth, and Junior’s almost walking.
ME: I really like this beer.
ME: That doesn’t make any sense. Change your verdict now
How do flat earthers explain the Earth being stationary? Is this concept considered impossible?
RUTHSKI: Okay I’m cutting you off now.
ME: From the beers or the duel?
MICHAEL: Have you thought about what your one-thousandth post is going to be, Rogert? I’m honestly a little confused as to why we’re celebrating before you’ve actually done it.
President Trump kicked Zelensky out of the White House. Is it over for a deal?
ME: Hold on I’m doing something
MICHAEL: Is that all you have to say? We’ve been walking through the desert for like eight hours because you got kicked out of the last damn bar back home.
Just then, at the eleventh hour, while Jeeves was distracted saying his own name, Michael slides the owner a crisp one hundred dollar bill.
MICHAEL: That’s a mighty injustice, Rogert. Why haven’t you hired a lawyer to take care of it?
The stars shine down on this 3/5 drinking establishment. The TV screens now display an agonizingly long game of Monopoly between 16 participants, each held there by the promise of the grand prize: The real life Broadway St.
JEEVES: I don’t want to wait that long. I want to do it now.
After 600 Years, Astronomers Finally Solve the Mystery of the Missing ‘Guest Star’ - Gizmodo
ME: I cheated off of him on my final exams whilst I was getting my Master’s in 6, down at 7 (Place of Learning)!
RUTHSKI: Jeeves wins.
ME: It’s Trichel now.
RUTHSKI: No.
RUTHSKI: Round one. First move, Jeeves.
MICHAEL: Rogert, are you sure? You’ve somehow managed to down like five beers during the course of this conversation, despite the fact that the server only brought over one bottle.
Weber, Morgan health officials warn residents after bat tests positive for rabies - KSL.com
RUTHSKI: What the fuck? Who lit a fire? That’s not a real fucking hearth you idiots it’s all polystyrene.
ME: $100
ME: Okay.
MICHAEL: All right then. Is there anything else you want to say before we leave CCTV range?
MICHAEL: No.
The two sit in a comfortable silence as they wait for their beers to be delivered. Large television screens across the establishment broadcast entirely too many angles of the same low-stakes professional billiards match. The last vestiges of sunlight have just died outside, giving way to the cover of darkness.
Why are the Chinese so sensitive to Western criticism?
RUTHSKI: Round one. Trichel’s move.
MICHAEL: If anything, you seem more sober now than when we walked in.
MICHAEL: Get him a Trinity Trust, it’s his favorite. A PBR for me please, thanks.

A chime heralds the opening of the saloon doors, and two figures there stand. One, a man no taller than 5′11″ with unblemished milky skin that gives way to what will in a few years time be a balding scalp, but which for now stands as a luscious mane of whiskey-tinted hair. A pair of round spectacles frame his emerald eyes, perched upon his angular nose. The creeping five o’clock shadow and a slight sheen of sweat from hours of walking give him the look of a rugged workman that he probably doesn’t deserve, given his line of employment. Slung over his shoulder is a sweater, long since removed under the sun’s heat, revealing a well-ironed navy blue button-up. A nice pair of slacks and some slick brown Oxfords complete a look that’s probably too good for this night out.
MICHAEL: Don’t, Rogert. Not tonight.
OPEN SCENE: It is eleven A.M. The bar, one ‘Pub de la Ocho’, is populated almost exclusively by men who seem far too old to be alive, let alone drinking by themselves at this hour. A painting of a bartender sits behind the bar, apparently doing a good enough job.
Debunking 5 myths about when your devices get wet - The Conversation
JEEVES: Yes.
MICHAEL: Not sure how you just said that but I appreciate the sentiment. How about you? How are things going with Rouge? The late Thomas Bagel’s estate? Sorry for your loss, by the way.
An air of tension lies thick in the deserted saloon. The moderator sits on his high stool, worried for his friend. The dishonored answerer waits for the verdict with a cruel smile on his face. The actor reclines in the corner, enjoying the show. The former peanut is obviously trying to find a way to steal a beer from behind the bar. The proprietor gather his thoughts.
Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?
RUTHSKI: No, I already said I’m cutting you off.
ME: I am a lawyer, and I’ve got a plan to take care of it: Kill all the other guys with chainsaws
JEEVES: I’m Jeeves.
How would you spank me if I had been sent home from a school camp because of my poor behavior?
ME: I’m not joking.
RUTHSKI: Trichel you clearly have no fucking idea how advertising works. You picked like five different things half of which aren’t even products sold by corporations. War bonds are shit sold by the government and take like ten years to pay out and don’t give sponsorships. Pepsi probably wouldn’t appreciate you saying to drink until you die and I have no idea what that hundred dollars shit was about or why you kept doing that motion with your arms. I have never seen such a poor performance in any competition ever before. You have completely and utterly lost this stupid duel.
MICHAEL: You know what? I’d walk another 8 hours in the desert for you, Rogert.
THE SERVER, NAME STILL UNKNOWN: Here you go.
Another beat passes, more awkwardly this time.
MICHAEL: Seriously, stop saying that.
JEEVES:
JEEVES:
ME: No need to apologize, I fuckin hated them both. Bagel put me in charge of this estate and now I got all this damn paperwork.
MICHAEL: What?
Another chime heralds another figure in the doorway. A 7′10″ beast of a man barely squeezes through the doorway. A pitch-black anchor tattooed on his forehead fails to distract from the big mean face he’s putting on. Inscribed on his leather jacket is what we can only assume is his name and title: JEEVES.
MICHAEL: Thank you.
ME: Can I have another beer?
RUTHSKI: Trichel wins. Jeeves, as you have lost a duel of words, you are heretofore permanently silenced.
ME: Shit
There’s no need to integrate shit - they already capture everything. What, you don’t believe me? You want proof? Me and my buddy Michael went to the bar last night and the cameras totally captured all the craaaaazy shit we got up to. Here, let me spend several hours painstakingly transcribing all the footage that I illegally acquired from the establishment in question.
JEEVES: Ready.
MICHAEL: To one thousand posts!
ME: Holy shit, it’s Jeeves!
ME: Do you think they have beer here? I want a beer.
JEEVES: I’m Jeeves.
ME, NOT REALLY CARING: Ok.
OPEN SCENE: Dusk is just painting the sky. The bar, one ‘Ruthski’s Finest’, is crowded with mingling couples and a smidgen of lonely singles. An artificial rustic atmosphere is established by a Chekhov’s gun tastefully placed on a mantle above a faux-hearth. Three servers cruise around the room, assisting patrons and pouring beers - which is to say, assisting patrons BY pouring beers.
MICHAEL: Yeah, I think they have beer here.
The real, unpainted wait staff are escorting all the mundane patrons out of the establishment, in keeping with what they have just been informed are traditional duel regulations. Along the walls, tables and chairs are neatly assembled, leaving only a narrow aisle of open space. With the gibbous moon’s light cut off by the thick curtains, the room is now lit only by the real fire in the faux hearth.
ME: I accept!
ME, TO MYSELF: That sponsorship was so boring. I’m sure to win!
RUTHSKI: I -
ME: Bagel’s estate is basically worthless anyway. Turns out that he only owned the topsoil, so he doesn’t have the rights to all the priceless rubies in his vault.
JEEVES: The all-new Dyson Hypervac sports a slick ergonomic grip, improved reach, and a powerful 1kW engine that will remove every speck of dirt in your home guaranteed or your money back.
ME: I love beer.
MICHAEL: Not a problem, buddy. You do have to pay me back, though.
THE SERVER, NAME UNKNOWN: Uh, what kind?
RUTHSKI: Contestants, to your positions.
ME: Thanks Michael, you really saved my ass back there. I’m glad you picked up on my hint.
MICHAEL: Yeah, we got that.
ME: Oh ok, I’m still down. As the challenged, I choose…mmm…..here, and … in six years!
ME: I have a few ideas. But that’s enough of that business shit, how are my godkids doin’?
JEEVES, WHO RUDELY KEPT TALKING EVEN THOUGH I INTERRUPTED HIM: - of words!
ME: $100
ME (TO RUTHSKI, IN A SHOW OF PROFOUNDLY BAD JUDGMENT): I’m gonna sneak behind the bar and steal one.
ME, CLEARLY IN EARSHOT OF THE BARTENDER: Michael, can you buy me a beer?
JEEVES:
[POST COMMENTED UPON BY QUORA MODERATOR MICHAEL. COMMENT: What great night out. Can’t wait for the next one, Rogert.]
ME: Uh no, I was lying about that part to make myself feel better. Uh. One second
ME: I like Quora. I don’t want just to ask questions. I want to answer them.
JEEVES, DISTANTLY:
MICHAEL: Can we talk now, please? I know you don’t like speaking while not being recorded.
Right next to him is me.
Then Jeeves, quick as lightning, slaps me across the face with one of his leather biker gloves.
RUTHSKI: Holy shit shut the fuck up all of you. I’m going to give my judgement now.
I guzzle some more amber ambrosia from my pint glass.
ME: Hooray! I won! Bartender, a beer one more, and on the house if you please!
A slight smile cracks Michael’s visage.
MICHAEL: Are you on Quora on your phone right now? You need to pay attention, this is important.
MICHAEL: I just finished buying you a beer. You still owe me like 90 bucks.
RUTHSKI: Okay you’re banned. Get out.
MICHAEL: Aren’t you still working on that degree?
ME: (Ignoring Michael’s little question): He got booted from the program because they assumed he cheated off of me, rather than the reverse which actually happened. Also he’s from AskJeeves.com if that wasn’t clear, he looks a lot different than he used to. I guess the camera subtracts 3 feet or whatever.
ME: Just wait and see, Michael. I’m gonna winner.
We showed up and I asked for a Peoria Sidecar. The painting of a bartender was so offended it kicked us out and we had to go find a new bar. We had to go to another city - that was the last bar in my hometown that hadn’t banned me yet.
JEEVES: Simple. We use the only meaningful metric for an online poster: Ability to shill for big corporations.
ME: Hold on, I gotta go steal the footage real quick.
ME: Woohoo!
MICHAEL: Please don’t tell me you’re still doing that - that makes two people you’ve gotten kicked out of that program in this exact manner. I’m still kinda mad about that by the way, but I guess it worked out since I went to an actual college afterwards.
A look of abject horror is written across the man-mountain’s face.
ME: I make my best posts when I’m drunk.
MICHAEL: Please stop telegraphing all the crimes you commit. Also, stop committing crimes. It makes you look like a bad godparent.
The two clink their beers together.
JEEVES:
MICHAEL: Yeah, we know.
Five souls remain in the bar: Jeeves, Michael, Me, Ruthski (The guy who owns the bar, in case you forgot since that was namedropped way back in like Act 1), and Robert Downey Jr. Mr Downey Jr. wasn’t part of the proceedings obviously, but he asked to stay very nicely and Jeeves assented, so for the rest of this post assume he’s in the corner.
MICHAEL: Rogert, Rogert. I love your jokes but you can’t go around saying shit like that in public places, they are going to arrest you eventually.
JEEVES: I’m Jeeves.
MICHAEL: Oh yeah you’re right, it is one hundred. Good honesty.
ME: Can you buy me another beer?
ME: Ready, your honor.
RUTHSKI: It’s been your turn this whole time. Go.
ME (To the server): One beer, please!
MICHAEL: What does a duel of words actually entail?
MICHAEL: Who?
ME: Buy —→ War Bonds ←— Purchase —→ Pepsi, Perform the stock market ‘short’ operation upon the —→ Silver, Gold, Cadmium, AskJeeves. —-> —-> → $100.
Ruthski furiously stamps out the fire and turns on the fluorescent lights.
ME: Ok.
ME: Purchase pepsi buy soda drink soda until you die Get more soda in you do it now some eggs too but MOSTLY, principally, the pepsi scratch the eggs
ME: Okay I’m ready
RUTHSKI: Are you done yet?
JEEVES: Did you know that they’re not even publicly traded, Rogert? They have no incentive to grow their profits! None whatsoever! I, JEEVES, am fully shareholder accountable! And with the power vested in me by my 7.9% amortized annual returns, I challenge you to a duel -
ME: Well yeah. How else are we gonna get back home they don’t have Uber out here
ME: To one thousand more, my actual friend!
YOU: What a great Quora post! *upvotes*
Ruthski’s Finest is once again bustling, the clientele slightly confused and greatly inconvenienced by the recently concluded spectacle. Ruthski sits in his office, a stiff drink nearly empty on his desk. Jeeves looms near the hearth, more still than the toxic polystyrene ashes, silent as he shall be ever more. Framed by a window just barely in view of the camera which recorded all these events, two figures sit on the curb. Lilies bloom around them, bizarrely implying they are going to die somehow, even though that makes no sense.
A beat. At this hour, the low din from the bar’s customers is only rarely interrupted by a passing vagabond or vehicle.
ME: 👍❤️❤️
The hostess approaches us and brings us to one of those super tall tables with the annoying stools. I wanted a booth instead, but Michael’s too much of a punk-bitch to say no. I wanted a booth.
RUTHSKI: Both.
MICHAEL: This is grotesque. This is truly horrifying.
ME: You know, I should have advertised an Eraserh-
RUTHSKI: The state requires that I properly officiate any duel that takes place on my premises. That being said I fucking hate all of you excluding of course Mister Downey Junior because this shit is losing me money by the second because I guess you had to settle this on a three-day weekend.
MICAHEL: You hated Rouge?
Michael slams the table and laughs uproariously.
