OUT OF THIS WORLD WEDNESDAY

The vast landscape of the purple, mountainous, rainy planet of Schnooks seemed to go on forever, as Gary and Yellow Rose flew their shuttle craft at tree top level, in search of the two headed Deetommumsthewitch Beast!




"This is like finding a beagle in a smokestack," Gary whined to Yellow Rose!

"Gary, if you don't know those ancient earth sayings, don't even try quoting them," Yellow Rose said in a frustrated way.

"I thought that was right, Yellow Rose!" Is it "an eagle in a knapsack?"

"No, Gary!"

"How about "a beetle in a ..."

"STOP! STOP! A needle in a haystack, a needle in a haystack, Gary!"

"Oh, yeah, that's it! What's a haystack, Yellow Rose?"

The scene now changes to the dark, damp rain forest of Schnooks, where we hear the rustling of leaves, and then start to see the dim, hazy outline of a creature far too frightening to describe at this point in the story!

Back to the shuttle craft...shuttle, shuttle!

"Gary, do you know why we are on this mission to capture the Deetommumsthewitch Beast, everything was so hush, hush before we lifted off Glirka."

I did not get the official report, Yellow Rose, but rumor has it the Deetommumsthewitch Beast landed on the planet of Amoxicill and ate the whole population!

"What was the population, Gary?" 

"222! After that, the beast went planet hopping...burning, looting, emulsificating, cannibalizing, and generally having a great time in a beastly sort of way!




The stare-o-scope begins to beep...beep...beep...and the image of a two headed beast appears on the screen. Gary and Yellow Rose immediately land the shuttle craft (shuttle, shuttle) where the coordinates shewed where the beast doth dwell!

"Wow, Yellow Rose! The two suns of Schnooks are rising! That's good, because "the whirly bird catches the word!" 

"What did you say, Gary?"

"Uh, I mean, "the early berm catches the warm, Yellow Rose!"
"The early worm catches the bird?"




"Gary! Gary! "It's the early bird that catches the worm, but we ain't birds, and that gigantic, two headed beast in front of you is no worm!"

The two headed beast moves closer and closer to our heroes and our brave adventures do not back down! 

As the beast moves slowly into the light, Yellow Rose notices that both faces of the beast are smiling, and Gary sees that it has flowers in both hands! What gives? This is not a murderous, blood thirsty beast! 

Gary quickly messages the High Glirkheads and asks them why the Deetommumsthewitch Beast needed to be picked up, and they tell Gary it is to bring the sweet creature back to receive a universal award for kindness to creatures great and small!

After Yellow Rose hears this she is upset with Gary for saying the Beast was a killer, cannibal!

Gary says, "I said they were just rumors!"
