Day 268 - They All Return To Faerie In The End, North Korea Is Jealous Of Syria, ACME Accidents, Jack T. Ripper, and "Star Trek: Into Sucking Up To Fanboys"

(Yeah, 3 in a weekend.  Kinda backlogged - Mr. Silver)
Mr. Silver
So I guess the elf has left Katzenjammer?
1:33 PM Mr. Amethyst
Elf?
1:33 PM Mr. Blue
It was a while ago.
Didn't pass the 120 day, I think.
1:34 PM Mr. Silver
"Frankly, on review, it was your taste in music.  Sorry."
"Oh...thought it was my version of the dress code."
"Oh HECK no, cutie!"
1:34 PM Mr. Blue
"We don't want any Anarchy in the U.Katzenjammer."
1:35 PM Mr. Amethyst
Who’s this "elf" ?
1:35 PM Mr. Blue
Girl downstairs with pink/purple hair.
1:35 PM Mr. Amethyst
Oh
1:39 PM Mr. Brown
I never saw the elf that I know of.
1:40 PM Mr. Silver
Too bad...she was pretty elf-y, if you're into that...I tend to be.
But then, I don't know that many (straight) men who are into fairy folk, in general...



Mr. Brown
North Korea started their reactor up again.
8:54 AM Mr. Silver
They must need attention.
"Syria is taking all the front pages.  This is unacceptable."
8:57 AM Mr. Silver
"We could make chemical weapons too, Great Leader."
"What would that take?"
"Well...we'd need to build a factory and order some supplies..."
"That's out then..."
"We could launch a rocket?"
"Do we have any to launch?"
"Not really."
"Let's fire up Project Icarus again!"
"Great Leader, that was a James Bond movie.  It wasn't real."
"Oh. Ohhhhhhhh!"
"We could turn on the reactor, Great Leader."
"Does it still work?"
"Maybe."
9:17 AM Mr. Silver
"Eh...we'll just say we're going to whether it works or not.  Front page, Baby!"



Mr. Gray
12:35 PM Mr. Silver
"The victim was found with rocket skates, a giant slingshot, a bottle of superglue and a copy of "101 Roadrunner Recipes"...all Acme products."
12:35 PM Mr. Brown
Meep meep!
12:57 PM Mr. Gray
I kept picturing the same thing too.
1:04 PM Mr. Silver
"Witnesses report that he made no attempt to move, choosing instead to hold up a sign that said "yikes!" and then a miniature pink parasol."
1:23 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
1:39 PM Mr. Gray
Wow....everyone vanished.
1:39 PM Mr. Silver
Mr. Brown dumped us too?
1:40 PM Mr. Silver
(pictures Mr. Brown under a boulder)



10:59 AM Mr. Blue
If you have 13 letters in your name, like Jack the Ripper, you have what is called “devil’s luck”, according to legend.
So is "Jack the Ripper" on his birth certificate?
11:00 AM Mr. Amethyst
You’d think it would have been easy to track him down if so.
lol
11:00 AM Mr. Blue
LOL! Yeah.
"Jack" was an alias.. turns out his real name was John The Ripper. That's why they never caught him.
11:01 AM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
"Mr. Ripper, do you have a brother named Jack?"
"Uuuhhhhh....not that I know of."
"OK. Well, go back to doing your bloody laundry. Sorry to bother you."
11:03 AM Mr. Blue
Hahaha
Did you ever see American Psycho?
11:03 AM Mr. Amethyst
I LOVE that movie
11:03 AM Mr. Blue
"It's cranberry juice... cran-apple."



Mr. Amethyst
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!!!
11:22 AM Mr. Blue
Speaking of, the second half of Star Trek: Into Darkness wasn't as good as the first half.
It got kind of ridiculous.
11:27 AM Mr. Silver
I still haven't seen the new Star Trek.
11:28 AM Mr. Blue
The first half was superb.
11:28 AM Mr. Blue
The second half was just kind of...a mess. Too many little homages to the old stuff. Spock shouting "KHAAAAAN!", tribbles, gorn jokes...
11:29 AM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
11:29 AM Mr. Blue
Main characters (I won't say who) dying and then being magically revived just with a blood transfusion? He was dead for like an hour.
It also it got ridiculous when their insanely superior technology either worked or didn't work.
We can beam anything we want from anywhere at any time! Except for when it's convenient to advance the plot.”
11:29 AM Mr. Silver
I think it's probably homage enough that they made another Star Trek movie.
11:30 AM Mr. Silver
Really? Not enough? Had to drip in fan-favorite fluff?
11:31 AM Mr. Blue
The Klingons were cool in the beginning. I'm guessing they're going to be the main antagonist in the next one. I hope so.
11:32 AM Mr. Silver
Any sign of Vger?
11:32 AM Mr. Amethyst
I went to the doctor for that. Its clearing up nicely.
11:32 AM Mr. Silver
Heh.
Personally, I like the Vger story a lot. Sure, the film pissed everyone off, but I like it.
11:33 AM Mr. Blue
Who's Vger
11:33 AM Mr. Silver
Star Trek 1's antagonist.
11:34 AM Mr. Silver
The insanely huge mystery ship heading to Earth looking for the Creator to turn in data.
Turned out to be the Voyager space probe. It had vanished in a wormhole and was found by a machine race that appreciated it's mission, so "fixed" it for the long trip home by building a death star around it.
Really a cool story.
11:36 AM Mr. Blue
Sounds interesting.
11:36 AM Mr. Silver
The race that found it never expected it could have been built by an organic race...they are all just pollution interfering with machines, so...
ZAP!!!
I thought it was going to be “Nomad” when I first watched it...similar idea.
But...it was slow paced and had an odd art design compared to what people expected.
Wrath of Khan was the apology film, and it was a beaut.
BOOM!!!!
11:39 AM Mr. Blue
Apology film?
So the first Star Trek movie sucked?
11:42 AM Mr. Silver
I liked it, but am in the minority.
Apology film.  "Give the fans what they want...classic role reprise, lots of explosions, clever captains."
Maybe they'll make one with Harcourt Fenton Mudd next!
One of his episodes had my favorite thing Spock ever did in it.
They were trapped on a planet of androids.  They decided the needed to overload the central brain to have any chance of escape, so set about confusing their guards with elaborate farces and melodrama.
Not Spock
Ever the logician, he walked up to a set of "twins"
"I love you." to one
"On the other hand, I hate you."
11:56 AM Mr. Amethyst
lol
11:56 AM Mr. Silver
In sync "But...we're exactly identical."
"Yes...that is precisely why."
(they look at each other and turn off.   Spock walks away)
11:58 AM Mr. Blue
Heh
Mr. Gray
They actually mentioned Mudd in the new movie.
"Do we still have that ship we confiscated in the Mudd incident from last month?"
12:23 PM Mr. Silver
"...one of the Mudd incidents from this year..."
Well...that's kinda irritating, but I'll let it slide.
12:25 PM Mr. Blue
Why's that?
12:25 PM Mr. Silver
Originally, Star Trek was a five year mission..."Lets make a film where we refer to as many fan-favorite incidents that happened on about 20 days out of those 5 years as possible."
12:26 PM Mr. Gray
Dude...the time line changed. Things aren’t in the same sequence.
12:26 PM Mr. Silver
"To predictably pander where Hollywood has pandered before!"
I'm just saying, they are already revisiting a story in the new time line. There is no need for sly winks and double-takes...just tell a Star Trek story.
12:28 PM Mr. Amethyst
I have a 5 year mission.
12:29 PM Mr. Silver
You have a Space Babe Passport to fill?
"Sulu...plot a course for a planet where women are purple."
12:31 PM Mr. Silver
"Aye aye, captain...2 or 3 arms?"
(Kirk consults passport) "3"
(MST3K) "Captains log. A bunch of my ship fell off, and, nobody likes me."
12:33 PM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
12:34 PM Mr. Blue
Hehehe
