Going back in time.
Nov. 5th, 2003 12:12 amI'm rereading the old TTPCTS RR. The "Let's rescue Joel Robinson from a fate worse than death" RR. I miss those days a lot. A mad race across time, space and Subreality with the biggest gang of misfits the subreal world had ever seen. You can't help but cheer for Fox Mulder. :-D
Some choice parts that made me smile:
Tom Servo on himself:
"I can't help it if I'm so lovable."
The sight in the Subreality Registration Station:
Already at the desk were a Gambit and Rogue. She was pregnant, and he was dressed in a business suit.
"Ah'm tellin' ya, Remy, y'all better get your act togethah!"
"Yes dear."
"Next time y'all decide ta go an' get drunk, Ah'm gonna kick your Cajun butt!"
*sigh* "Yes dear."
Nan-Cy "greets" Logan:
"Hey Wolfy. How's it going, eh?" she said. "You're doing pretty well for someone who walked out on his country. I bet you couldn't even finish off a box of Timbits if your life depended on it…"
Alexis shuts everyone up with one word:
"Here, let me. TECHNOSERVO!!!"
Yes, always listen to Mulder. He knows what's going down:
"Scully, some writer somewhere must be behind all this," Mulder began, "How can some character just kidnap another? Whoever did this has to be either a writer or backed by a writer. Imagine if you will that someone rented 'Manos: The Hands of Fate.' Not the MSTied version, just the movie itself."
"That's possible. Mistakes happen," Doggit conceded.
By now, most of the other conversations had ceased. The customers turned to listen to Mulder.
"Imagine that not only did this person rent the unMSTied movie," Mulder continued,
"Suppose the person actually watched the whole thing through without turning it off in disgust."
"That may be...possible," Scully said dubiously.
"If someone could watch it the whole way through, then maybe someone could actually like it," Mulder suggested. "Maybe it was someone's favorite movie. How would that demented person feel when they saw Joel and the bots make fun of it? Surely the rage of this clearly disturbed mind would be immense. How would such a madman react? He would write his own stories about Manos and Torgo and set them loose upon the citizens of Subreality. It explains why all the previous victims were females. The characters in that movie were nuts for girls. It also explains why they took Joel. They want to exact revenge on the person who made fun of their movie."
There was a long pause with crickets chirping in the background. As expected, everybody in the bar started laughing. No one could ever like 'Manos.' It was impossible.
"Good one, Mulder," Doggit snickered.
Mulder stormed out of the bar in huff. Scully immediately followed trying to console him and offer more plausible explanations
After that it get really strange, so I'll shut up now.
