Chuck, don't know why, but that's my 505's name on when I connect to sony and that's what I call it when I'm asking someone to bring it to me...

Back in the Goose, the Squid woke up with a raging hangover. A headache in an animal that is, face it, all head is nothing to sneer at.

He rolled over and took a long drink of water from Harv's thermos. After testing to make sure that it was, in fact, just water, of course. Silently, he swore off ever a) drinking with Adrian, b) playing cards with Adrian, or c) both ever again. He felt lucky to wake up as the same species, let alone in the back of the Goose. Why had he crawled in here again?

Hoisting himself up to the cargo bay door, intent on taking a quick swim in Lake Gatun to replenish his depleted body fluids, he was shocked to discover he was sitting in an airplane in the middle of an airport. Harv never landed at airports if he could avoid it! And this wasn't the Panama City airstrip! Small shots of panic ran up his, well, head.

He schlepped to the cockpit, hoping to be able to endure the M.A.R.V.I.N long enough to get a fix on his whereabouts. Half way there, he tripped over a largish bound sheaf of papers.

HARV AND VERA'S MEXICAN VACATION, it said. He noted that the cover stated that the script belonged to "Lefty." The Squid leafed through it quickly. His eyes grew wide as he reached the second act. Grabbing the flare gun from the emergency kit, he jumped out of the Goose and set out across the tarmac.

"I don't suppose you could bother to just flick that switch before you leave? No? Typical."

i don't know what we'd do without that squid, sheesh. i feel for it though. a night of drinking and card-playing with adrian is enough to leave anyone feeling unsure of their species the next morning.

Well, it's possible that I wrote the first few sentences about Vera (back in the pre-golden era of MR) but Harv was definitely PlanetHead's creation. Where is he, anyway? Or is he still stuck in the airport? Maybe the Transportation Safety Authority has confuscated his cranial container.

Huh? Did I miss something?

Oh Dear Me! I hope that isn't the case. He's got a rather cute little cranial container there; we'd hate to see it damaged. Or lost, or anything.

The image of the squid's eyes "growing wide," knowing what I do about squidly orbs, is now permanently stuck in my brain.

zelda_pinwheel · 02-11-2009, 07:54 PM

"squidly orbs" heheheh...

Make it a cockatiel, and when he's deprogrammed, he can say "Whatcha doin'?" "Who's a silly bird?" "Whatcha doin', silly bird?" and "Tweet!" At least, that covers the vocabulary mine has. He also sings in two styles, which we call the "march" and the "aria".

GeoffC · 02-12-2009, 12:34 PM

please can we have a "no food or drink warning" to attach to some of the threads (as well as the Silliness tag)

I'm here. Just back from Miami. Will spend tomorrow recuperating, then the next week on all the work that piled up while I was off working. Funny how that, err, works.

I do have the dubious honor of introducing Harv to the group, Think "hog calling" and "squeegee". It's nice to see that Harv, to use a Southernism, has managed to get above his raising, though to me he'll always be that lovable, amorous, long-haul trucker who's absolute devotion to his porcine princess Vera is a testament and inspiration.
