Shaenon: “Plot-wise, this week demonstrates the way different people perceive reality in the Narboniverse…”

In other words, about the same way you two-leggers perceive reality in real life. I am SO sick of people asking me where I bought my ears and tail, and having to explain to them that they’re a natural part of me, nyao. Bast’s whiskers, you’d think people never saw a genuine genetically enhanced nekomusume before…

…Oh, right, forgot. Most people HAVEN’T seen a genetically-enhanced human/feline hybrid like me before….

In reply to Sam Ashley (evilmidnightlurker).

Largo from Megatokyo? That would be a really cool crossover, come to think of it. I can just imagine Miho and Mel discussing the finer points of being utterly evil, and Helen wanting to use Junpei as her latest guinea pig…

Of course, an even scarier idea would be a Narbonic/Tenchi Muyo crossover. Just think of how much mayhem Helen and Washuu-chan could wreak together…

Hmm ... singing do-wop in 24-part harmony? What would they do with "Bohemian Rhapsody?"

@James: Always glad to oblige.

Mad Science is Dec*e*dent and Depraved. Makes sense, too, especially for the Zombie story lines.

Saturday:

Bill just doesn't understand the rigors of an IT professional. (But, to be fair, in Dave's career five nines refers to his percentage chance of not surviving the storyline.)

Zeta seems to almost be dragging Dave along his heels.

Ed, the Truck Driven' song was fantastic. You guys don't know how BIG a Wierd Al fan I am.

You can tell Zeta's worried. She's let her sunglasses slip so you can actually see her eyes.

@James Rice and ET: It's a little off-topic, but since you mentioned Weird Al and the Truck Drivin' Song, I couldn't help but think what Dave could have done with a little more time to "customize" their vehicle ...

(TUNE: "Truck Drivin' Song", Weird Al Yankovic)

This truck's driving me, the truck is driving me!
Though it's artificial, it's intelligent, you see!
And we've got the strangest cargo that people ever saw ...
Truck's driving me, up to Ca-na-da!

   These robots for my help must beg;
   Gotta get to Winnipeg,
   But at the rental place, they're out of luck!
   And 'cause I'm such a clever guy,
   I installed a cool A.I.
   Into this great big mother-lovin' truck!

      Oh, that Madblood we're avoiding, he's such an orn'ry cuss,
      His satellite can spot us from the sky!
      Although it's quite conspicuous, I still got this bus for us
      Because really I wanted to, that's why!

And now this truck's driving me, big truck's driving me!
Fifteen thousand robots are just yearning to be free,
If the 'bots are proletarian, then humans are bourgeois ...
Truck's driving me, up to Ca-na-da!

[key change!]
This truck's driving me, the truck is driving me!
Hot dogs at the truck stop are now buy one, get one free!
And I'll buy some Circus Peanuts, and jerky I can gnaw ...
Truck's driving me, up to Ca-na-da!

I just got a slow cooker. It's amazing. I have no idea how I survived almost 40 years without it.

@Brandon: "Hot Wokets"?? Who are you going to get for a spokesperson, Elmer Fudd? (I always wondered what would happen if Elmer joined forces with Jesse and James to catch Pikachu ...)
