    At least it wasn’t cats or squirrels.

      She’s as laser-focused as a cat near a laser-pointer.

      Thank you for fulfilling my expectation that the first comment would include squirrels.

    So, I guess Sweetheart’s lasers count as…

    …hat-seeking weapons!

      I take back anything nice I ever said about you, and replace it with bees.

        So, maybe one bee then?

    Hey, that was some nice filkage yesterday, and an impressive debut from comicsgal.

    tune: “Both Sides Now,” Joni Mitchell, Clouds, 1969

    Pink fedoras, brown berets
    Ushankas, bonnets, Cordobés
    I have a human head, which really pays
    When I see hats so fine

    But laser-focused I am not
    Besides, this sweater’s kinda hot
    And misspelled posters, will they not
    The mission undermine?

    I’m looking for Moustachio
    Supposed to grab his head and go
    He’s in A-Sig, I’m in the dark
    I’ve really messed up now. Oh, park

      Thank you for the encouragement, though I’m not sure if I can keep the daily pace. Carl Douglas’s “Kung-fu Fighting” for today…

      Oh ho ho hoooo
      Oh ho ho hoooo
      Oh ho ho hoooo
      Oh ho ho hoooo

      Every topic was SkinHorse discussed
      Sweetheart was laser focused
      In fact Goldbug held Nick where he re-cussed
      But the drone was still yet unbussed

      There were pugilistic tourneys on Product Testing Floor
      They were female wiling one and thudding down more
      It’s intricate strategy by some fusion run gadgetry
      From an it’s to an its, and switching its to it’s

      Every topic was SkinHorse discussed Hu!
      Sweetheart was laser focused
      In fact Goldbug held Nick where he re-cussed Eh yeah
      But the drone was still yet unbussed

      There was placid Dr. Ao and little Hitty too
      She said Robot Heaven was the reason fluids flew
      Sweatheart entered the drone again, saw the hats–they foiled the plan
      The new distraction firmly placed, once again plans’ gone to waste

      Every topic was SkinHorse discussed (Hu!)
      Sweetheart was laser focused (Ha!)
      In fact Goldbug held Nick where he re-cussed (Hu!)
      But the drone was still yet unbussed (Ha!)

      Oh yeah,
      (Oh ho ho hoooo
      Ha!
      Oh ho ho hoooo
      Ha!
      Oh ho ho hoooo
      Hu!
      Oh ho ho hoooo)
      Keep on, keep on, keep on
      (Ha!)

      Sure enough,
      Every topic was SkinHorse discussed (Hu!)
      Sweetheart was laser focused (Ha!)
      In fact Goldbug held Nick where he re-cussed (Hu!)
      But the drone was still yet unbussed (Ha!)

        Still keepin my end up, in the absence of edduard. From “Keep Your Hands Off My Baby,” Little Eva. Or maybe you remember the Beatles BBC version. Either way, it’s by Goffin / King.

        We’ve been here for far too long.
        We gotta scrub the mission.
        But go and find Moustachio
        With your laser-focused vision.

        Keep your eyes on the mission.
        I’mo gonna tell you, just this one time.
        Yeah, keep your eyes on the mission.
        Keep a’sayin’ to yourself,
        That drone ain’t mine.

        I don’t mind when you jack the drone.
        I can take that, too.
        But I mind when you take that tone.
        I’m looking out for you.

        Keep your eyes on the mission.
        You gotta trust me, just this one time.
        Yeah, keep your eyes on the mission.
        Keep a’saying to yourself,
        That drone ain’t mine.

        Keep your eyes off those hats,
        I ain’t gonna tell you twice.

        Yeah, mine.
        Yay, yay, yay, yeah, mine.

        You better watch your bag now.

    Hmm. I’m a bit worried about Eddurd now. I hope he’s ok.

      I hope so too. I’m imagining some squirrels hiding in his attic chewed through his internet cable and as soon as a smart tech figures it out, he’ll be back flikin’ again. (Yes, that happened to me once. Took the techs a long time to figure it out.)

        In case you missed the note, his wife passed away and he’s dealing with that.

          I don’t know what he has in terms of friends and family for local support, that makes so much difference. A friend of mine lost his wife to cancer on Christmas Day ’13, I know how long he was messed up, I hope Ed has more support than my friend did.

          Ah, I had missed that note. Well, that’s sad 🙁
          Edd, if you pass through the comments at some later date, strength and courage!

    What I find especially amusing is the appropriateness of that euphemism; “park” is the term some people use for taking a dog out to relieve itself.

    Cute animal disguised as a human expresses a liking for cute hats! The composite webcomics-creating entity known as Jaenon/Sheffrey is currently being piloted by Jeffrey. (Or possibly by Shaenon running her Jeffrey emulator….)

    Been meaning to mention it for a while…I like Sweetheart-the-drone’s yellow turtleneck.

    Well, apparently that Mr. Green has a psychological profile on Sweetheart, judging by the way that the Institute knows how to keep her off balance.

    Next thing you know, there will be kickable coffee cups scattered along the floor in tempting areas.

    Dang it Sweetheart you’re acting like Tip and Unity combined.

    She may be laser-focused, but even the light of a laser can be scattered if you put the right object in front of it.
