Out Of This World...Thursday?!

I know you'll find this hard to believe, but yesterday I totally forgot to post Out Of This World Wednesday...therefore, I'm doing Out Of This World Thursday to keep all of you faithful readers updated.

Thank you for your indulgence. I hope you know what indulgence means, because I don't really know what indulgence means. It just sounded like a cool word to me, that would make folks think I was intallectule.

Gary and Rosie are on their way to the insignificant planet of Z70, for a dual porpoise...to eliminate the mountains of litter that has accumulated over many eons, and to stop the plethora of litterbugs that are responsible for all of the ugly litter.

In addition, they have ALREADY devised a brilliant plan to accomplish the task, that does NOT include Gary's original idea of blowing Z70 and it's inhabitants up, to smithereens!

small pieces.
"a grenade blew him to smithereens"

Gary - "It's so comforting, but exhilarating at the same tom, to be back in the Silver Sausage spazeship, heading for another suicide mission! Right, Rosie?"

Rosie - "Do you HAVE to call all our missions "SUICIDE MISSIONS," Gary? We don't usually die. Only SOMETIMES!" By the way, who's Tom?"

The unforgettable Tom Mix

Gary - "Never mind about tom, but I think it builds suspense in our fateful readers, when I proclaim them to be suicide missions."

Rosie - "That's all well and good, but think of their disappointment when we don't die! You promised a suicide mission and we mostly, always survive!"

Gary - "You've got a point, Rosie, but if I wop you on top of your head with a hammer, it will flatten out!"

Rosie doesn't REALLY have a pointed head.

Rosie - "Shut up, Gary. Do you want to go over our ingenious plan to solve the Z70 problem?"

Gary - "Heck no, Rosie!! If we divulge our plan now, it will remove anticipation for the ending, you spoiler!"

Rosie - "That actually makes sense! I'm impressed, Gary! Have you been taking those "smart pills" that the spaze Doc gave you?"

Gary - "No way! I'm a bit insulted that she even prescribed those pills for me! Give me one reason I should take "smart pills!"

Rosie - "Just ONE reason? Okay, how's about when you accidentally destroyed the whole Snicksablixie galaxy by pushing the RED button instead of the green button?"

Gary - "It's like you said, Rosie, it was an ACCIDENT! We ALL make mistakes!!"

Rosie - "Then there was the mission when you moved the whole population of Karnukos to Plekturos, and the population of Plekturos to Karnukos because you thought they would all enjoy a change of scenery?"

Gary - "How did I know they couldn't survive the atmosphere of an alien planet? However, we got 'em back to their home planets before they totally perished!"

Rosie - "WE got them back? WE?"

Gary - "Okay, YOU did, but it doesn't matter who takes the credit."

Rosie - "Oh, I see. So, when YOU mess up, WE take the blame, but when I save the day, YOU take some of the credit?"

Gary - "Exactly! Now you get it!"

Rosie - "Yes. Yes I do. (sigh)
