h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

hehehehe, point taken.

[Corrigible] Well, there's only one more thing that can go wrong ...

[Zeeky Bomb] Zeeky boogy doog!

[Corrigible] Yeah! --

[Nuclear explosion]

Nuclear explosion?

[Darth Brooks] Yeah, in the Demented Cartoon Movie, there's a nuclear explosion every time someone says "Zeeky boogy" --

[Corrigible] Hey!

[Darth Brooks] Oop! Er, there's a nuclear explosion every time someone says the Zeeky words. Oh, and the world blows up whenever someone says "Gleek snag zip."

[ explodes]

now I got ya

[Corrigible] Righto.

[Random Blah Guy] [a stick figure] Blah! [head gets blown off]

*arches eyebrow*

[Corrigible] [shrugs] Blah, I guess.

*Enters*

I wish to join. How must I go about doing so?

[Corrigible] Well, you get into one of these metal sphere-type-thingies, which then gets launched into this big bad pinball machine of DOOM(tm) along with several others, and then we play pinball for three IRL days.

[He shoves Mystrunner into one of the spheres]

[Corrigible] And by the way -- one of the spheres has a thermonuclear explosive in it. BWAHAHAHAAA~! [slams the hatch shut and launches the sphere]

*Thinks, attaches a generator onto the inside of the sphere, and working fast, lines the sphere with wires. Mystrunner flicks on the generator, the electromagnetic current attracts the ball to the flipper with the might of several small planets. It sticks, and will not move.*

Ok! Start pinballing! No rules about me moving during the game, eh?

[Corrigible] Well, you kinda HAFTA move.

[He knocks another ball with the other flipper, which knocks Mystrunner's loose and sends him spinning.]

We have a most intruiging and resourceful recruit, I think I will be wanting him for an assistant in demolitions if there are no objections. I must inquire about his other abilities besides engineering provided his tour is successful. He did forget one small thing, unfortunatly enough for him, that will probably cause his death.



Indeed if the impact does not set off the nuke than the electricity that will be conducted through the spheres certainly will.

Well, in that case...?

!
H'okay...

*Reverses the current of his homemade electromagnet. Now, instead of attracting, it repulses, meaning it will never stop moving, but will slow down and then drift away from everything else, which more or less rules out the thermonuclear device.*

!

*Begins to radiation shield the ball*

hmm...

[Corrigible grabs one of the spheres using the Force. The hatch pops open and a black anarchist's bomb with a goofy face falls out.]

[Bomb] [wobbling] Zeeky boogy doog!

[Cut to a cartoon nuclear explosion, then to the previous closeup of Corrigible]

[Corrigible] Okay, who let HIM in here??

*A second copy of Mystrunner steps out of a fresh fold in space/time and Hogties Corrigible with a lenght of cheesewire, and places him in the freshly opened ball.*
*Mystrunner's future self closes the ball, and sends it back onto its original chaotic movement, and goes back to the future (c). All this while, the present Mystrunner has been lounging around in his magnetic and radiation sheilded globe, reading Terry Pratchett and drinking wine*

[Pan slightly to the left, revealing Corrigible]

[Corrigible] Bwa-hahaha!! [pointing and laughing] He fell for one of the oldest Sith tricks in the book: the illusionary duplicate that looks, sounds, feels, smells, and even TASTES like the original! HAHA!
