"Hugo?"

"Yeah, Lefty?"

"Where did we come from?"

"Well, when a man sock and a woman sock fall in love, they get 'paired.' Then, after they've spent some time with all the experimentation with the whole swinging lifestyle thing, they decide to settle down. Then they get a sock drawer of their own and decide to have some booties. The mommy sock 'casts on' to the daddy sock's needles and they 'knit.' Then, after a while baby booties are made."

"No, I mean, where was that mercado we were just in?"

"Oh. Well, that was just one of the quaint Mexican Folkways that are arbtrarily set up throughout the country to seperate gringos from dollars. Why?"

"Well, there didn't seem to be a lot of commotion when that bomb went off. I'm just wondering why that is."

"Probably political."

"Oh. Hugo?"

"Yeah, Lefty?"

"How do you 'knit'?"

"Well, I don't know about you, but I like a size 18 needle and slubby yarn."

Harv continued to struggle against the ropes holding him to the millstone. Who in their right mind made a millstone with tie downs? Obviously the sign of a disoriented and ill mind. Even more annoying than the professional job the Nazis had done with the ropes was the whinging coming from Biggles. He had long ago tuned out the complaints about not being allowed to go first to ghastly death and the roughness of the ropes and the beam of sunlight from the holey roof that was lancing his face and he just had to wait until the whole thing had turned away in order to not be blinded before being horribly crushed and mutilated, he supposed.

"Biggles!" he finally cried out.

"Yes, Old Boy?"

"Do you ever shut up?"

"Never that I have been aware of. An old family tradtion! It's managed to keep us out of harm's way on more than one occasion, I might say, as well."

"Huh?"

"Well, my great great grandfather Biggles was chatting up a barmaid at the Twin Oxen Pub in Lexington when the British came knocking up the Colonials and he completely missed the battle. Swore that it saved his life."

"Your great great grandfather was a British soldier in the Revolution?"

"Dear me, no! My family has been in New England since the Mayflower, old chap! Great great grandfather Biggles was a colonel in the Massachusetts Militia."

"A Minute Man? Your great great grandfather was a Minute Man?"

"Yes. Very well known."

"Then when did you move to England?"

"England, Old Boy? I've never been in England in my life? What makes you say that?"

"Well, I was just thinking, what with the accent..."

"Didn't I just say that I hailed from New England?"

"Well, yes..."

"There are parts of New England that are older than others, Old Boy."

Harv opened his mouth to point out the inherent absurdity of that, but was distracted by the door exploding inward with some force.

what ?? biggles isn't british ??? well that's unexpected !!!

door exploding : a lolcat intervention ??? (see : effect of lolcats on pilotbob's head.

OOoooo -- the plot gets twistier and twistier!

Harv and Vivaldi were going through pre-flight check list.

"Magnetos."

"Check."

"Landing gear?"

"Check."

"Windshield wiper?"

"Check."

"Flaps?"

"Check."

"Radio?"

"Check. You know, that was really odd back there."

"Which part? The elephants or the orange dyed llamas riding them?"

"No, the way that those two socks insisted on us hauling all that Talavera pottery back as payment for what they did to Slite."

"Oh. Well, there's something to be said for contributing to selective breeding procedures. Cargo door shut?"

"Check."

Slowly, the plane pulled out of it's parking stall and drove off into the sunset.

badgoodDeb · 04-01-2009, 01:52 PM

And what's this about "selective beeding procedures"? Are they making a beeded vest or necklace for Slite? Wow!

ShortNCuddlyAm · 04-01-2009, 02:26 PM

I've only just grown my fingernails back too!

pshrynk · 04-01-2009, 02:28 PM

Breeding. Not beeding, breeding.

pshrynk · 04-01-2009, 02:45 PM

For those who were disappointed with the ending, just remember that Babylon 5 was even worse in it's denoument...

Author's disclaimer:

The above episode was done under the influence of the process of being acutelated by the Pandorg (again) and bears in no way any resemblance of actual story plot line or characterization. In other words, it was a dream or hallucination.

In other other words:

April Fools!
