Checklists Suck Solar Wind!
Having completed the all important, pre-flight checklist, our intrepid Glirkazoid gadabouts recline in their comfy flight chairs, located on the flight deck of the Silver Sausage spazeship.
Rosie - "Ready to go over the check list, Admiral?"
Gary - "What do you mean, Admiral Rosie? We ALREADY went over the checklist!!"
Rosie - "No, no. That was the supply checklist. Now we need to go over the Silver Sausage spazeship checklist!"
Gary - "Oh, brother. Very well. Proceed with the SSSC."
Rosie - "Don't mind if I do! Okay! Steering device?"
Gary - (moves the steering device back and forth) "Steering."
Rosie - "You're supposed to say CHECK, Gary! Follow ancient protocol, wouldya? Continuing on...front beams?"
Gary - "Beamin'!"
Rosie - "Why are you being so insubordinate, buddy?"

Gary - "How can I be insubordinate when we're both
Admirals?
Rosie - "On page 2020 of the Spaze Travel Rule Book,
section 5, subsection a-2, it states, when Glirkazoids
of the same rank give orders to each other, they MUST
obey the orders of each other as if they were being
ordered by a superiorly ranked Glirkazoid."
Gary - "I'm not taking your worm for it, Rosie!
Show me from the book!"
Rosie - "I'm offended, Gary! You don't trust me?!"
Gary - "Show me the book!"
Rosie - "Well, er, um, I forgot to include the Spaze
Travel Rule Book on the check list, and it's still at my
place of dwelling."
Rosie's humble abode
Gary - "Do tell. What I think is, you are making all
this..."
Suddenly, a message comes in from the
Glirkazoid High Command!!
"You guys can dispense with your convoluted
checklist, and get your Glirkazoid glutes
into spaze, before Krug the Kruddy takes over the whole
cockadodie universe!!

ALWAYS listen to us?"
Rosie - "You didn't know that? As highly
ranked, top secret agents of the
Glirkazoidian "spaze force," we are constantly
monitored 124/70!" (akin to 24/7 on Earth)
Gary - "I wish you would have told me, Rosie!
There are things you and I have done, that I would
have preferred remained secret!"
Rosie - "Like WHAT?"
Gary - "Like when we ate a whole gallon of
Isotopian Ice Cream, did a marathon
watching of Game Of Glirkazitts, made a wild
Merkronium muskrat our mascot, until he/she
ate our guidance system..."
Merkronium muskrat...ain't he/she cute?!
High Command - "SHUT UP, Gary!! If you don't
have the Silver Saugage at W.A.R.P speed
(W.A.R.P. means we are really phast) in
5 seconds, we'll emulsificate your butts!"
Oh my! Will Gary and Rosie be emulsificated
