"It must be pretty weird..." Porky sighed, "Living in the past when you have future technology all around you, I mean. I can't understand why anyone would willingly go back to ancient technology...stuff like tanks and guns are just so much better, y'know? I suppose it's not my position to judge, though."

"As for the slang," Porky began, "Sometimes a phrase like that just gets so common that it's almost stranger to say 'calm down' instead 'take a chill pill.' I dunno why. It just kinda happens, I guess."
