Bad Machinery by John Allison for November 27, 2016

Shauna and Lottie now are saved

By the dog face in the sky

Marvels of the magic pencil

No need to wonder why.

Archie, he be chillin’

There with Pepper by the wall

“Chew Chew Bear” is fast asleep

It took a mighty fall.

All is swell that ends so well

The girls are wise to scamper

The power of the pencil proves

‘Tis always good to tamper

With forces of imagination

A drawing on the page

May make all of the difference

‘Tween a fall gal and sage.

“Doggerel with Wendigo and Dog.”

So, what is the weird robotic dog head saying?

By the way, to “do one” is to disappear, to take off.

my alien is a bit weak.

The head is saying “Nodoga (kanji I don’t remember off hand) ita.” I don’t have my kanji dictionary to hand, and the online ones require cut and paste.

The head in the air is yelling “Bitches, Bitches!!”

Ok…I officially don’t know where this is all going to go now. I thought I knew…but now I’m not so sure. Oh well. Surprises are always more fun anyway.

So after doing a little (okay, more than a little) searching, it appears the robot dog head is saying “I’m thirsty”.

No, I have no idea why, and I’ve read this before…
