Troll sighting confirmed, Jim!

This could be hugh! -Sam, let's have the IBTZ count.

.

.

Current IBTZ count is 24- including 9 mushroom cloud gifs and one picture of
Donald Rumsfeld with laser beam eyes and lightning bolts coming out of his left nostril.

.

.

.

No cats with machine guns?

.

.

.

No sir.

.

.

.

What about those two "We're doomed!" guys?

.

.

.

Nothing yet.

Do I have to think of everything?- Enable 'doomed' configuration!

Spork-weasel, spork-weasel..... just as I thought. No such phrase exists in the specs.
---Ralph's making crap up again!

.

.

.

Ralph, did you just say spork-weasel??

.

.

.

I'm not sure, chief!

.

.

.

Idiot! I put in the years! I paid my dues! That should be me up there behind the wheel of the ZOT9000!
---It's all politics, Joe.

[jellybean]

Are any of the creatures in this picture actual females?

Only the 2 in black.

[Roscoe Karns]

It's hard to say exactly how long. I had a general idea of what I wanted to do so I downloaded a bunch of old univac/eniac pictures and then played around with the story structure in my mind the next day.

[Roscoe Karns]

Glad you all enjoyed it! I had fun writing it!

driftdiver, I knew that was sarcasm :)

Lazamataz, sorry but I can not marry you. I'm spoken for.

[Watery Tart]

LOL! How about if I married him AND he knows how to put it to good use AND his slide rule is one where -- well, he doesn't have to get one o' them newfangled calculator things to help him out on the larger problems. Ahem.

Pocket protectors? We don't need no steenkin' pocket protectors!

Here's one for you! (he he he)

[A.Hun]

Ooh an actual picture of a spork weasel. It's cuteness belies it's insidiousness.

I always wondered what that was! Now we know!! LOL

[A.Hun]

Is that a meerkat I see there...I love that series.

Apparently, that is a spork weasel!

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

ROTFLMAO!

[NonLinear]

That's the best!

Spork Weasel indeed!

[Stonewall Jackson]

Thank you, I needed that!

[EveningStar]

Roscoe, you're a genius! :)

[driftdiver]

Very entertaining work.

[mware]

LOL, this fellow reminds me of those films they use to show us in our classrooms during the 1950's.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Nice post. That was funny. How many times did you hit "preview" to make sure all the pics and spacing worked?

:o)

[mewzilla]

ROTF!!!! You're a genius, Roscoe! Thanks for the great giggle :)

[Clint N. Suhks]

[NonLinear]

Who knew there was a beer ping list!! Of course I want on it!!

[NonLinear]

Now THAT's the don-o we love!

[NonLinear]

Now you've done it! 'chucked my last beer keyboard is shO& ()21asdjf*****888ds and777&!91!(!":Lwn................................................................

[NonLinear]

All your spork weasel are belong to us!
