The only time I saw a pluch piggie fly fast was when it was launched from a cannon.
But it's structural stability ceased to be optimised for solidity.
LOL! You didn't miss any Kurt novels--I was stretching a bit, there :) Kurt based the character of Kilgore Trout partly on SF writer Theodore Sturgeon, who wrote a novella called "Killdozer!"
""One of us! One of us!""
We accept her, we accept her/Gooble-gabble, gooble-gabble. . .
Hey! Isn't it time for a Freepathon
"Yes, Boy Wonder, diabolical indeed! And only one criminal genius could be twisted enough to come up with such a fiendish plan. . ."
"Holy Fu Manchu, Batman! You mean it's the Joker?"
"Yes, he's behind it--however even he couldn't hope to pull off something so brilliant on his own. There's a deeper riddle here. . ."
Chief O'Hara gasps in realization: "Saints preserve us! The Riddler! You think he's in on it, too?"
Batman: "Yes, the Riddler. But that doesn't explain the giant umbrella that Darksheare's message was delivered in. . ."
Commissioner Gordon has a horrible discovery dawn on him: "The Penguin!"
Robin: "Exactly! But there's one more piece of the puzzle missing! That preview for that awful-looking Halle Berry movie that was showing at the scene of the crime--it could only mean one thing. . ."
Batman: "Precisely again, chum! The Catwoman!"
Commissioner Gordon shakes head in disbelief: "Four of the most diabolical minds of our time, working together. They can only have one goal."
Robin: "To rob Fort Knox?"
Batman: "No--any one of them could do that."
Chief O'Hara: "To take over the country?"
Batman: "Maybe if it was any two of them. But all four--Commissioner Gordon is right. It can only mean one thing."
Altogether: "They're going to kidnap the leaders of the United Nations Security Council and dehydrate them!"
Robin, anxiously: "Where's the hope of the free world now. . .?"
"It is a line from Fire Sign Theater. Bozo's on the Bus."
Doh! I must've missed that one while I was reading my Kilgore Trout novel :)
"Needs the sound of horse braying"
Technically, yes :)
The grand meeting of the BSIC Inc, LLC will now come ot order.
The pens are a success.
The droid toaster is less than successful though.
Seems one had 'issues' with the parakeet and put out a hit on him with the cat.
"The promo pic from Weird Science aughta be good for a Rogaine commercial."
I hear Rogaine sales have gone downhill since they hired Medusa from "Clash of the Titans" to be their spokesman.
"The only time I saw a pluch piggie fly fast was when it was launched from a cannon.
But it's structural stability ceased to be optimised for solidity."
The solution to this is instead of bacon to use Sizziline.
Galapagos was the last one I read because it seemd Kurt lost his edge. I always liked the early character, Elliot Rosewater? Is that right? Man it's been years.
Yikes!
Yu mean the guy snapping the pic of that was using that for!
Uh oh.
I must remove the evidence.
I'll be right back.
"The grand meeting of the BSIC Inc, LLC will now come ot order."
We have order at our meetings? When did this start? :)
LOL!
I remember the ep that is based on..
Hmm.. Halle Barry as Catwoman..
Not the role I'd imagine her in, but if she's slinkin' around the screen..
*Slaps self repeatedly*
This is true.
Seems she could be better off promoting Viagra instead.
But yikes!
You?
LOL!
Aloha, and meet your fate!
Inter-ossiter!
Well, more or less order.
'Tis merely a formality.
So you can actually get back to using the stun prod on that company spy.
Though I do advise against having him wear a tutu and dance the macarena, that'd be cruel and inhuman.
ELIOT ROSEWATER
One of the richest and smartest men in America, Eliot Rosewater is also one of the most disillusioned. His faith in American righteousness in World War II was shattered when he found that he had killed a German fireman who was trying to put out a fire that American bombers had started.
He tried drinking, but that just ruined his health without alleviating what he saw as the alarming unfairness of the modern world. So he committed himself to a mental hospital. There he meets a kindred spirit in Billy Pilgrim, who comes to share with him the one consolation Eliot has found in life: the peculiar wisdom in the science fiction of Kilgore Trout.
