Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for January 25, 2019

Say “uncle”, Professor Mel.

Auntie, anti, it just doesn’t matter.

Nuts in the cookies.

What about Auntie Mame Matter?

What about gramma rays?

No thank you.

I prefer mine without.

“If I had been so lucky as to have a steady brother/Who could talk to me as we are talking now to one other/Who could give me good advice when he discovered I was erring/Which is just the very favor that on you I am conferring/My existence might have been a very interesting idyll/And I ight have lived and died a very decent individ’l/This particularly rapid unintelligible patter/Isn’t generally heard and so it really doesn’t matter!” Sir William Schwenk Gilbert, Despard Murgatroyd’s verse of “The Matter Trio” from “Ruddigore”. Look it up on YouTube. Vincent Price’s performance is magnificenly over-the-top.

Is Dr Mel a mind reader?

Yes Nuts on Auntie’s cookies.

The immovable object meets the irresistible force…

Oh no! I’m allergic to Nuts. I might explode!!! Auntie’s cookies and Matter cookies explode. it’s a AuntieMatter explosion!

I grew up a Minnesotan and we pronounce aunt like it rhymes with font so I was a little confused. Anyone else pronounce it that way?

I think I need an Aunty Acid… ☺

Would an Antimatter Brewster be evil or super competent?

Apparently he can read thought bubbles.

… and Dark Matter.

I had an Auntie Matter once. She had an explosive temper.

Auntie Matter works better with matter.

We have Aunty Acid on this site, so why not other Auntys?

No nuts. The raisin bread / plum pudding description of the atom went out with Rutherford.

And then there’s quasi-matter, if that rings a bell…

Emoji and antimoji.
