He also said that, though he had written the piece without having read the books for yeas, he had to re-write some parts because he realised that he had quoted verbatim from Smith.Dave wrote:According to Garrett, when he somewhat timidly presented Doc Smith with an early draft of the parody, Smith read it, laughed out loud, and then suggested the "Dentless" name for Ginnison's ship (Smith had named Kimball Kinnison's ship "the Dauntless").
(The same thing happened to Neil Innes with the songs for The Rutles; he hadn't consciously listened to any particular Beatles songs in years, but...)

Handy work ought to be handiwork. Other than that, great comic!

Nope, refrencing a science fiction classic.MerchManDan wrote:Well, now. Lily knows far more about what's up (or down, as the case may be) with this alcove than we knew. But I can't decide if this raises/lowers more questions than it answers, or vice versa. It's all topsy-turvy to me.
Sadly, not a Mass Effect reference, like I thought.Dave wrote:You win a cookie for getting the reference!NOTDilbert wrote:Monsters from the Id....
And as Dave points out it would be Dr Morbius, not Mobius, releasing the monsters of Id.
I must have had strips on the brain.
Shelly could relate.

Aren't you afraid this will all be a Tempest in a tea pot?Dave wrote: Sure, Morbius (a.k.a. Prospero) might show up yet. We don't know who Katherine is about to encounter on the far side of the stargate.
Atsali could serve nicely in the role of Ariel. I don't think we've encountered a Caliban yet (at least, not in this section of the storyline).
I won't even discuss the story's Nielsen ratings, or the pigeons we saw flying around the aperture, because that would... hey, no, Pun Jar, wait please, I promise I'll feed AAAAAAGGhhhhh....
(not sure if that qualifies as a pun. sees knawed remains of Dave, tosses in collected works of Sir Francis Bacon into pun jar, just to be sure.)
Re: I Have The Key 2013-04-30
Yup... I would assume that's what the authors of Mass Effect were pointing to, with their "ruins of a dead civilization" scenario.Boxilar wrote:Nope, refrencing a science fiction classic.
Forbidden Planet is the elder reference, Mass Effect is the Junger.
Close... very close. I figured that since Monica is back at the Library, she's almost certain to enter this storyline as an active participant at some point, and we can cast a Tempest in a G cup.Boxilar wrote:Aren't you afraid this will all be a Tempest in a tea pot?

Thanks for the Bacon, by the way. Everything is better with Bacon, even if he didn't actually write any of the Bard's works.

You know that light at the end of the tunnel?
Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

Re: I Have The Key 2013-04-30
One must never think too small in Waspi. Otherwise Lydia would be out of business. In fact shouldn't we ask her about they gravity issues with Suzi? She does have experience with gravitonic engineering to make her bra's work.DilyV wrote:

Ambush questions are fun. Watching the mental impact of them as they distort, or crumble, opinions based on faulty logic.
Re: I Have The Key 2013-04-30
You're likely right; I knew G was probably too small, but I couldn't make the rhyme-joke work with a J. It was B, C, D, E, G, P, or T, and the latter two seemed out of range.Fairportfan wrote:I think she said it was 28-J
I think I first read the joke used with regard to Tallulah Bankhead, many years ago... I infer that she was a bit prone to chew up the scenery when on stage, and even more when not.
Re: I Have The Key 2013-04-30
On the other hand, if Monica ate enough pizza (or had it artificially in-poited), she could become a tempest in a T-cup, which would have been a more accurate pun, if rather unrealistic.Dave wrote:You're likely right; I knew G was probably too small, but I couldn't make the rhyme-joke work with a J.

Just in case, tosses a golf tee, a T-shirt, and a tea ball in the general direction of the pun jar.
