That stalagmite on the right reminds me of a ...uh...I think it starts with a P! 

As Gary and Rosie zoom off to Paducah, Kentucky, in their Silver Sausage Spazeship, 

to retrieve the priceless 45 rpm record, entitled, I Kissed A Glirkazoid And I liked It, by Elvis, they are followed by a mysterious, ugly warship, piloted by a more mysterious creature, intent on grabbing that record that could cause the demise of the whole Glirkazoid race!

I've got it! That stalagmite looks like a big POPSICLE!!

Now where was I?

Gary - "Rosie, I think we are being tailed!"

Rosie - "Can you make out what kind of ship it is?"

Gary - "This is no time to "make out," Rosie! We are on a serious mission!"

Rosie - (Gets right in his face and speaks loudly) "Clean out your ears, grandpa! What kind of ship is it?!"

Gary - "You don't have to yell...I ain't deef!" (Gary looks through his stare-a-scope) "Yee doggies, I've never seen a spazeship like this one, but I can tell you one thing about it."

Rosie - "What's that?"

Gary - It's BUTT UGLY!" 

It's like a checkerboard meets a referee, meets tang , meets a war bird...on "acid!" 

Rosie - "Let me look, Gary!" (She looks through the stare-a-scope) "I think it's kind of cool!"

Gary - "Yeah, right! You're the one that thinks Chris Martian looks cool, too!"

Rosie - "MARTIN not martian! How many times do I have to tell..."

All of a sudden, their usual bickering is silenced by a warning signal...

Please press alarm for more realism!

Rosie - "Oh, crap! That's the alarm for an asteroid approaching!"

Gary - "We need to emulsficate the asteroid before it smashes the Silver Sausage, Rosie!"

Rosie - "Emulsificator at the ready, Captain!"

Gary - "On my count! One, two, EMULSIFICATE!!"

In less than a nano second, the gigantic, bigger that New York City, asteroid is emulsificated into tiny, little, burnt out ashes!

Gary - "Good shot, Co-Captain, Rosie! We can kiss our asteroid goodbye! You're beauty-full! Did I say beauty-full? Uh, I meant, umm...DUTY-full...yeah...uh...that's what I meant, Rosie...you always do your duty...you are full of duty-fullness!"

Rosie - "No worries, Gary! I know what you meant."

Rosie peers through the stare-a-scope again.

Rosie - "That funky looking mystery spazeship, that was tailing us, is gone! I wonder if the asteroid debris blew it out of the sky?"

Gary - "We can't worry about that now, Rosie. We are approaching Earth!"

Rosie - "Earth is so purdy! One of the most beautiful planets in the universe!"

Gary - "Yeah, it reminds me of a blue marble I used to play with in my youth."

Little do they know the dangers that await them on this deceptively beauteous planet!
