Whackadoodle IN SPAAAAAACE!!!!

I don't recall ever reading so much cursing in a work of yours. Well fun seeing the crew in a different crazy cheap@$$ setting.

Oh... I don't really consider those particular words cursing so much as, perhaps, strong language... glad you enjoyed it Helix...

V.

Hilarious! That's some nasty beer!

thanks Walt, and yes it was...

V.

Yes of course i remember Barbarella, how do you think i became a sci fi nerd.
And beavers huh, i figured it'd be skunks that make skunky beer ;)

And of course I'd fall in love with a propulsion AI!

That's because it's a lot of inside baseball from over 12 years of sharing stories. Everything from the AI relations and beaver hunting, down to my love of Alice and turning a certain shade of blue :)

Although, I would agree with you on skunkliens crafting some pretty nasty brew!

of course you would...

*hugs in a big way...

V.

I loved Barbarella.

Barbarella

Bunners

THAT'S THE ONE! I remember Playboy did a special spread for the movie. As I recall, the movie really stunk...

V.

Rotten Tomatoes
The reviews are hilarious.

And I didn't even get to finish my beer... Oh well, one more time around the sun anyone?

A wonderful piece of work as always Vixyy

*smiles so very big... I'm glad you liked it Ink...

V.

This is absolutely hilarious. Better than Red Dwarf!

*smiles so very big...

V.

I wonder if this means there's a science fiction AU we might see pop up from time to time.

Also, the best thing about all those rotten vegetables is that your compost pile won't run out.

now there is something from my grandparent's generation - a time before garbage collection. Family's had a burn box, and a compost pile.

I do science fiction every now and again, but yes this was the the first time with the gang...

V.

ty ty ty your laughter is my smile...

WACKADOODLE INN in Space... in this episode we find miss Vicki wishing to choke the life out of a cat... with a beer bottle... Beware of the fine print...

That was a very fun read my dear friend... some of the references the younger generations will not get. Oh well they'll get over it. Being a very graymuzzle has it's advantages

I do believe the bottle did say Drink Me, although it could have been part of my own disillusion...

If you think those references are old, wait til you see some of the ones I have to share. Look up the Country Wife with the fine China scene

I think there was some very fine print after drink me on the bottle... it said "if you dare"

I dared ;)

*gives the Fem a great big hug... thanks Fem...

V.

You are very welcome dear heart.

*Wirewolf wanders the empty rooms of the Inn, finally spotting Duroc on the front porch*

"Where is everyone?"

"You heard 'em. They're off having an 'adventure.'

"They actually left? I thought they was just funnin'."

"Eh. They'll most likely be back before supper."

---

I wouldn't have believed you could smoosh those two genres into a single story, but you have done it beautifully. Well done.

Now Wire... you always say the nicest things... *hugs.....

V.

Vixyy, you're bordering on "certifiable." Mr. Peabody is on the fence but Sherman agrees. I have yet to hear from Bullwinkle and Rocky but Boris and Snidely are leaning that direction also. I haven't heard from the rest of the team but I feel that Dudley, Natasha and Nell are in your camp.

Sincerely,

Capt. Peter Peachfuzz

*laughs so hard... I grew up with all of those folks Mr. Khat, and I will always love them. Boris and Natasha were just so very cool... and then I just could never understand why it went from Rocky and Bullwinkle to the Bullwinkle Show - but nothing changed.

thanks so very much...

V.

Qui a coupe le fromage?

From 'Frenching with Freakazoid...

noooooo no stinker jokes... *laughs...

V.

You started it...

I think there was some very fine print after drink me on the bottle... it said "if you dare"

*laughs... and I think Ink has seen a few of those...

V.

That I certainly have and totally ignored the warning

*smiles... you're very welcome...

V.

*laughs... yes I can see it too... but how's their beer?

V.

*laughs...

V.

That reminded me a bit of Red Dwarf, but with furries. Oh wait, there are furries in Red Dwarf. Well then, even more so.

That beer must be up with the engineering class' Rocket Ship Red. Now that was an interesting engineering experiment at uni in 1987. In may have been a fund raiser but seriously ... drinkable ... opinion is still out on that one. *hugs*

*laughs and gives a hug back...

V.

Space, the final frontier...

These are the voyages of the Starship Whackadoodle, its five page mission - to get a certain cat to put the bottle down long enough to get everyone back home.

Excellent intro (I could honestly listen to Vixyy and Buns ranting (and occasionally verbally sparring) for hours), this time traveller is quite an interesting character - certainly less careful than the usual Saint Germain types - and his hobby of wine-tasting made for some good character moments.

I loved how each of the Whackadoodle regulars each got a moment to shine, no matter how brief. Special mention goes to Bering, who's perspective may almost be a story in of itself.


P.S. Despite being born well after its release and never having watched it, I was actually aware of Barbarella growing up, I think it was through a television program back in the day that chronicled the most iconic female characters in media.

This was around the early 2000s (or 'early naughties' if you like double entendres. *Smirks*)

well thank you so very much Hania... I'm glad you liked it. I certainly had fun writing it...

V.

Oh my dog, I defs feel for them! Bad beer is THE WORST. XD

*laughs so hard...

V.

Let me guess: A certain couple was seeing what it was like to "do it" in zero-gravity.

I can imagine that would be rather 'interesting'...

V.

Not only did I have the sense to stay behind, but I had the sense to read about your adventure, and it was delightful.

and that makes me feel so very good... I am so happy you're back D...
