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 âsterilizerâ 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.
Iâm not sure Buckaroo Banzai would be rolling over in his grave over the butchering of his best quote, but somehow I think heâd be okay with it in this situation.
Even if Linda doesnât tell anyone where she came from, people are going to assume sheâs a Topsider. Everyone else has been mutated for six years. Thereâs only one source we know of for recent mutants. And sheâs 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 sheâs been a mutant âawhile,â âcause if she said âthree months,â itâd tell anybody for sure that she was a Topsider before thatâŠ
If there arenât 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. âDont add to it.â Double edged meaning.
Oh and before I forget.Happy Veterans Day to one and all.To all the Armed Forces of the world fighting evil.To those who serve, those who served, those who came back, and those who gave it all.I salute you.
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 canât 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.
Hey Aaron,I just LOVE all this background info on everyday Endtown life! Great job. Please keep this up for a bit, so we get into deeper knowledge about their way of life. Did Holly swipe any of Marxâs cheese to go?
Linda doesnât 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 donât 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 talesâŠ:-)
I expect that Endtown already has a few ânewâ mutants as residents. The review panel looked a little too experienced in dealing with Lindaâs 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 â spreading the ex-Topsiders evenly throughout the population, or housing them all in one place, like in Lindaâs 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.
Itâs interesting how thie latest entries seem to be going from stick shifts (all types) to war stories. As far as stick shifts, i have two. I handle the one in my truck and my wife takes care of the other one.Where war stories go, My Dad worked on a floating drydock in the Pacific during WWII. It didnât have its own power, but was towed by a destroyer. One time towards the end of the war there was a bad typhoon and the tow cable had to get cut. They drifted for days, then one night, in the distance, they saw the lights coming from Japan. Thatâs when the Commander decided to drop radio silence and get help out of there. Luickily, the U. S Navy was able to do it.For My generation, I have a brother-in-law who joined the Air Force, became a Security Police and was sent toâ Nam. He was manning a Howitzer in Hue during Tet in â68. My brother Joined the USAF in â68 and they sent him to âNam as a mechanic in a mibile communications unit. Luckily, he as in a failrly secure area. I joined the Air Force in 1970 and they sent me to Turkey as a communications controller. I respect anybody who was âIn-Countryâ (did I get the term right, Vet?). The guys who were in the classes both ahead of me and behind me went to âNam.I missed by the luck of the draw.As far as Vet saying POWâs from that war was exclusively Air Force or Navy wasânt true. POWâs were almost all pilots (mostly Navy & AF) and therefore, officers. Most ground pounders were enlisted (mostly Army & Marines). They knew who was important and who wasnât. If you had stripes on your shoulders, you were history. A Pilot (officer) had some military and political value. So that means some Army & Marine officers (Pilots) were captured also. Donât blame anyone for being captured as most of them were captured in the craft,hanging from a parachute, or injured. Iâve seen the inside of a cockpit. Thereâs hardly any space for a sidearm. You wouldnât want it loaded if you had the space because you didnât want it going off if your plane got jarred from a nearby explosion. Most who got shot down, died. Some made it back. Some got captured. ALL served. Day to day, I know the ground pounders, like Vet had it the worst. Live or die, no options. I know I had it lucky. I have no war story except being alert enough to save my buddies and myself from accidently being killed by the NATO troops at the communications base next to ours.I used to think what I did, didnât matter. I finally do now. After forty years since coming back from there, Iâm finally getting veterans plates for my truck.Thanks to ALL men and women who served and are serving now.BTW, my truck is a stick shift!
I forgot I said my truck is a stick shift in the beginning of the previous entry. I need to review my comments more closely BEFORE I submit them. Sorry.
