    Nah, let the puns go on for heifer and heifer! Puns may be scorned as a low form of humor, but it takes intelligence and a love of the English language to be successful at them.

    Hey AN we have a new pin up girl. MAUDE! I said at one time she was cow of the month in Cowboys Magazine. (Pun intented) Crookedwolf likes her. I think we all do.I love the elephant walking alone on the side walk.Republican Party after the election?I really feel for Linda. I took my Army aptitude tests and got the same answer. Anything I wanted. Unfortunately everything I asked for was not available so I got what they gave me. All they had was grunt work. I guess Linda is going scavenging.

    I was thinking about the scene set for us. It is a real tragedy. The young previous occupant obviously a soft hearted maybe even an artist working the most dangerous job to improve his chances at getting a better place for him and his fiance. Then it happens. He gets killed. He does not come back. His fiance is so heartbroken she kills herself rather than go on. Serious stuff there in the background of all the puns and what nots.Shakespearing in its telling.

    DarwinskeeperRead your yesterday post. Well said and on the nose. There has got to be some things about Topsiders that are horrifying. Night-Gaunt49 asked about clean rooms and removing the suits. In reply given the paranoia about the virus the Topsiders have I imagine the suits never come off. That virus seems so active that it may only take a very tiny amount to cause reactions. VX agent is that way. A drop the size of the eye on a Lincoln penny as a drop will kill a person. Vaporize it can kill several.The PTs come back and go thru a so called “sterilizer” but the suits stay on. When Flask was on her rampage no where did we see anyone without a suit. I though we would see one there but none around. Flask referred to it as a prison. She said they are clever suits but that could mean many things. Nothing exposed to the environment could be trusted not to have contamination. Even the outside of the suit would have to a hazard even if scrubbed and cleaned. AN may answer that one day. It would be interesting to see a day in the life of a Topsider.

    Even if Linda doesn’t tell anyone where she came from, people are going to assume she’s a Topsider. Everyone else has been mutated for six years. There’s only one source we know of for recent mutants. And she’s been seen wearing a Topsider uniform. She can look forward to some confrontations. Flask probably had the same problem, solved only by putting her in a position of authority.

    I like Linda saying she’s been a mutant “awhile,” ‘cause if she said “three months,” it’d tell anybody for sure that she was a Topsider before that…

    If there aren’t indecent exposure lays per se, there seems to be a strong preference for wearing clothes. One could argue that fur provides all the protection that the body needs but I feel that the residents of Endtown consider clothing as a way to distinguish themselves from the animals they resemble.

    Maude reminds me of a Mae West type girl. Confident, unabashed, not afraid to speak her mind. If you saw her naked she would probably tell you to close your mouth and take a picture it will last longer. Maude just oozes confidence and sincerity. But I can see a soft side to her. If she would cry it would not be public. Sure she bawled about not keeping a good house but that may have been more show as to how quick she went onto something else. When she spoke about the past occupant and his fiance you could feel the loss in her words. Maude has probably seen her share of tragedy. That was her suggestion to Linda. “Dont add to it.” Double edged meaning.

    Hey and HERE IS A SERIOUS THOUGHTWALLY IS THE CAPTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Remember he had to kill Flask to get command. She got killed. He was on the bridge. The ship reassigned him as Captain and he gave the order. Marx can’t run the ship only Wally can. Marx was never on the bridge. When he was on the ship it basically did what it was programmed to do which was salvage things. He never entered the bridge to become Captain.Wow.WeeCaptain Wally sailing the high air currents pillage and plundering Topsider settlements. Poof Tail the Captain. Makes Blackbeard look like a saint. And Holly. Queen of the Pirates at 3ft.

    Linda doesn’t look happy. I hope she finds something, like be able to get her kid. Flask did NOT enjoy life as a topsider. Maybe Linda will decide it was a crummy way to live and finds a way to get him. Would he be a koala too?It would be kind of bad if he was a snake or a giraffe.

    Veteran, I do thank you for your service. My Grandpop is 94, and he was 5th Army infantry in WWII. The other family members don’t understand why I find his stories so fascinating. I just feel blessed to still have him to talk to.You would love some of those tales…:-)

    I expect that Endtown already has a few “new” mutants as residents. The review panel looked a little too experienced in dealing with Linda’s case, and the orientation program was probably designed specifically for prepping ex-Topsiders for life in the colony. They most likely are housed at different locations to minimize the odds of coming into contact with each other, but I bet there are signs that another ex-Topsider could recognize if they passed each other on the street.This does raise an interesting question. What decision-making process would be used to determine which would be better – spreading the ex-Topsiders evenly throughout the population, or housing them all in one place, like in Linda’s current dorm.

    So you drive a stick shift crookedwolf?My kind of girl.My wife was one of the few women I had met who could also drive a stick shift. 67 Pontiac GTO. Big V8 competition clutch and Hurst shifter. She mastered it in about 5 minutes. I knew this one was a keeper.

    A stick shift is the ONLY way to drive, All three of my running cars, the PT, Darwin and White Lightning are sticks. Pandora will get one before she hits the road.
