Oh,these three. What in the world is Toivo thinking? Will it involve another bomb (like they’d know how to make one anyway). Also, according to my 1924 Webster’s, “stupidous” really is a word.
Eleanor appears as a giant, flaming sword wielding robot because why not?
You might recognize “Lesser’s Liquor,” and the young creature featured therein. That’s Luna Lesser, from “The Trivial Tales of Luna Lesser,” a totally insane and very funny (and smart) comic that should be on your reading list.
Meanwhie, he young lady on the window is my pathetic attempt to cameo Katherine, she of the amazing This Mortal Coil. Glenn is a marvelous (in all senses of the word) talent and you’ll be happy you visited.
I will spare you Toivo’s plan, with its frequent misspellings and crudely drawn figures. Suffice to say, we’ll see it in action soon. Those of you who’ve read “Blue Moon: The Adventures of Lyssa and the Pirates” will recognize the underlying theory behind it.
Next time, we jump to Victoria’s Vampire World for a perfectly logical and well thought out discussion between Herself and a somewhat inebriated Edison Lighthouse. Which will make perfect sense, I promise. No, really.
Didn’t occur to my before, but I’m thinking maybe Toivo is a Canadian Neanderthal, eh?
Yah, yere pretty close dere, Pops. Toivo he be a Yooper Neanderthal, eh? From da U.P. of Michigan (Upper Peninsula = U.P. = Yooper), right across da Big Water from Canada. Oh yeah, dat’s where me and him anna gang all went ta college, doncha know.
Houghton? I have a friend who grew up there, and her father taught at whatever branch of the Michigan system is there.
Really? At Michigan Tech?
It is indeed a small world, my friend. Not many people even know of Houghton.
Next time I see her I’ll ask how long ago he would have started teaching. Maybe 40 years ago? Maybe more? You may have overlapped, who knows?
40 years ago and longer would be about right.
Now you’re scaring me.
I saw my friend this morning: her father was David Kenney, who taught organic chem at Tech from the late ’60s until he retired in ’89.
Sounds familiar, though I never took Organic Chemistry. Some of my friends must’ve had him, though. I’ll ask around.
Thanks for that!
The accent makes sense because the UP is more contiguous with Canada than it is with the US. ^^
Given the general tone of the conversation, Toivo’s contribution will probably make more sense than what the other two could come up with….
Oh, Delta-v, you know these knuckleheads only too well.
