    Yes, Tip. The only is solution to do SCIENCE to her. Well played. Well played.

    Not “mad science”, but “BAD science!”

    That’s…not a hypothesis.

      maybe if he words it as “Will we go to the roof and watch Shaft’s Big Score?”

        Well no, his hypothesis is that they will; will they is the question. The experiment is either them attempting to do so, or him attempting to convince her to do so. The intellectual merits of answering this question are dubious, but the experiment should be fun.

          But will Bubbles and Unity peer review the experiment?

            No, but Nick is up on the roof….

        Rephrasing won’t help. A hypothesis is a proposed answer to a question; more specifically, a scientific hypothesis is supposed to be a possible explanation (or at least a general rule or law) for some observed phenomenon. Any scientific hypothesis should be testable by performing experiments.

        Tip’s “hypothesis”, while arguably testable, doesn’t explain anything, so it’s not a real hypothesis. It’s simply a suggestion.

          I believe the implied hypothesis is that if they “go up to the roof and watch Shaft’s Big Score”, then Tigerlily’s funk will be restored. If not, the efficacy of other sexy methods will be tested.

      Well, to be fair, Psychology isn’t exactly a hard science.

        It is when Tip is with Tigerlily!

        HEYOOO!

          These two comments just made my day.

      I agree, it’s really more of an experimental methodology

    Surely a Mojo Transfer Device is within the grasp of mad science…

    …this could lead to deliberate mojo vampirism. A terrifying thought.

    They could order some from the International House of Mojo.

    Nice to have a drive in that shows 1970s blaxploitation movies right next door.

    Clearly a trip back to Planet Funkotron is required.

      Not “Funkotron”, you daft buffoon, Lovetron. To call a planet “Funkotron” would just be silly.

    Honestly, I think she should be recruited as ‘Head of Robot and Funk Relations’

    Obviously, this is just step one in a long-term research project. Tip will propose more experiments to build on the findings from the original hypothesis. The conclusion may take months, but will be eminently satisfying in its conclusion.

    No that wasn’t meant as a double entendre, but now that I type that out, it works quite well as one, doesn’t it?

    you know, i’m starting to wonder whether there’s pop corn buckets pre-made just lying around the Skin Horse offices. This isn’t the first time the team has produced one so quickly

      You could be right. Moustachio does collect popcorn tins, and he’s pretty generous about sharing their contents. And the popcorn that comes in those things is usually pretty durable, so there might well be a few tins’ worth left from his last delivery.

        I bet he encourages them to eat the popcorn–since what’s he going to do with it?–so he can have the tin sooner.

    Another one of my half-done filks, I’m afraid…

    Tune: Theme from Shaft:

    Who’s the man who’ll analyse,
    And a sex machine to chicks and guys?
    TIP!
    You’re damn right!

    Who is the man,
    That would risk his neck for a ballgown?
    TIP!
    Can you dig it?

    Who’s the shrink who will not flunk,
    To restart Tigerlily’s funk?
    TIP!
    Right on!
