Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for September 01, 2009

At least it wasn’t on Twitter….

What happend to the face-hugger saga?

Apparently it was resolved when Larry went back to work under a non-discrimination clause. So now we’ll (not) see his face every so often in other circumstances.

At least we’re assured (again) that Pam isn’t the token woman on board.

He shouldn’t refer to his girlfriend as a payload.

He doesn’t. The message is the payload. His girlfriend is the target (not that this helps his reputation either).

Gives whole new meaning to the term “dumped.”

And we don’t know that the girfriend is on board the R.U. Sirius. It is, after all, a remote drone.

Technically true, although the use of the same uniform is presumptive. And remote is relative; to (e.g.) Cliff, it’s probably the distance to the nearest restroom.

Since it’s funnier if we assume (as I think Tim meant us to) that “remote” is still within the R.U. Sirius, I shall do so.

This is too pedantic for this early in the morning. Anyone want to split a carafe of Dr. Toon’s nuclear coffee with me?

yes

If those are the drones, is Pam the hive queen?

If those drones are flying through the corridors of the space station, the operator would have to be extremely skillful and careful; in other words, don’t let Cliff anywhere near those controls.

Gotta watch out for those predators, girl….

That girl’s lucky. Could’ve been a bomb instead of a note. Now that would really have ended the relationship.

Looking good.
