    Are those… bees… in the background? I’ve been looking for her…
    “The Pollinator” “I’ll be back.”

      Hmmm, could be. I could see how a sentient swarm of bees could be a very good intelligence agent. (Or action hero – take your pick.)

      Maybe they’re Zombees. I will be over here gagging over my own pun now.

    Yes, Tip. In place of “The Great Unity” we shall have “The Magnificent Tip”. Able to instantly mojo across time and space…

    Of course Tip understands that his uniqueness would only be diluted by assimilation – he’s just working some “Oh, PLEASE don’t throw me in the briar patch!” reverse psychology on H.T., which he knows H.T. is astute enough to recognize. Which will make the core intelligence wonder why Tip is trying to get himself assimilated…

    The resulting face-to-face meeting should be most illuminating!

      Strictly speaking a collective intelligence doesn’t _need_ a core, but this version seems rather heavily weighted towards certain individual components.

        Borg Queen anyone?

      Marcie and I are over here waiting for these two to “assimilate.” Y’all keep on with your “logical theories.”

      Fashion. Will. Conquer. All!

      Love. I mean. Love. Yesssss.

    Is it just me, or does anyone else imagine H.T. sounding like the late, great Alan Rickman?

      I keep hearing him as Don Adams, sorry.

        With that Get Smart cadence … oh dear. Now I have to go back and read every line HT ever uttered.

            Up to this point, I’ve been hearing George Saunders, the Shere Khan of my youth. Idris Elba also works well. It was the idea that, rather than a velvet smooth melodious bass, HT would have that sharp grating Get Smart voice that shook me.

      That works. Rickman did have a feline undertone to most of his line deliveries, particularly when playing Snape.

      I hear a deep, smooth voice, and a British accent could only help, so yeah.

        How about Tony Jay? Not Shere Khan, but Judge Frollo is just as villainous, but more scheming. In parallel to H.T. at the moment.

      Deep voiced, but, I think, a cultured American accent.

    Uh Tip, this might be the time to mention the bomb collar situation…

      Oh like HT would listen/doesn’t already know. He’s just bsing.

    HT, you have no idea how SEVERE that burn just was. Went right over your chlorophyl-laced head.

    “Panache.” “Gesundheit.”

    No, no Tip. Show him how stylish you can be. You will win him over through fashion! I mean, love. Love!

    Still shipping these two. Let’s see how it goes. Come on, Marcie! 😀 Let’s go get popcorn and martinis. Surely, by the time we return…

    If Tip joined the collective, the sheer magnetism generated by his presence would have pretty much everyone running to join. Those still reluctant would soon be won over. “Resistance is futile. You will be made over.”

      Tip joining the collective would be hilarious.

      Perhaps he’ll finally be able to keep up with Tigerlily.

      You will be won over. Then you will be made over.

    Awgie: And then we won’t be any longer what was desired, we’ll be the ‘cookie cutter’/stepford wife design of the day. Not a role with a long-running performance, I should think. I’m betting on ‘hive mind’ here to win.

    Tigers are mean
    Tigers are fierce
    Tigers have teeth
    And claws that pierce. Tigers are great
    They can’t be beat
    If I was a tiger
    That would be neat! Tigers are nimble
    And light on their toes
    My REspect for tigers
    Continually grows. Tigers are perfect
    The e-pit-o-me
    Of good looks and grace
    And quiet dignity! Tigers are great
    They’re the toast of town
    Life’s always better
    When a tiger’s around!

    -Hobbes
