    It’s Ira, or he left the plans in/near the basement and some of the denizens thought it was a new project from the colossi that they were supposed to build.

      Oh no! What if it’s the crystals? Maybe that’s why we haven’t seen them in a long while.

        But we have seen them recently. Tigerlily was antagonizing them with funk when Tip discovered the Silverfish had eaten all the files.

          Yes, but what better reason to create a weather machine than to destroy the woman who is tormenting you with unwanted funk?

      Either that, or he tried to build it himself, and put in a few components backwards, causing havoc all over the place.

      I had forgotten that Dr. Lee gave him those plans!

        F-Troop! I’m sure it’s all kinds of wrong, but I loved that show when I was a kid.

    Positive: possessing an actual force, being, existence, etc.
    Cosmic: immeasurably extended in time and space; vast.
    Vibes: Vibration, oscillation. Depending on the type of signal generated by the weather device, it could be literal oscillations, such as ultrasonic waves, or a type of electromagnetic radiation, which appears as an oscillation on a scope.

    So she could be “broadcasting positive cosmic vibes only”, and still be the one responsible for the weather anomalies.

    Please don’t tease us by leaving out the details most important to the story! ^_^;

    What *sort* of fondue is it? Cheese fondue or chocolate fondue? o_O

      Hopefully, mozzarella fondue. Mmph~!

        Mozzarella fondue is not fondue! It is the degeneracy of the degenerate standardization of a degenerate version of a the swiss recipe (I use degeneracy like in its mathematical sense of simplification)! It’s not like anyone couldn’t afford Vacherin fribourgeois at 30$ the 1/8th of fondue!

    Looking at Tip’s now look & wondering if he’s going to meet himself soon again or is that someone else lost.

    The fondue craze of the 60s led to some truly amazing recipes. Do some searches on “1960s fondue recipes.” Don’t limit yourself to chocolate and cheese fondue, either! For anyone in the US, The Melting Pot is a restaurant that specializes in fondue of many types; definitely worth a visit for the curious or the fan of this delicious dish. For anyone with access to online shopping, they now sell electric fondue pots if you don’t want to risk the fire-at-the-table of tradition.

      Followup! About Fondue!

      For a meat fondue, use a lean cut of meat. Trim off excess fat. Second, you can use an oil or a broth in your fondue pot. Flavor this as you like (I’ve done a simple black pepper, garlic, onion and beef broth fondue before). However, the real focus, and the fun! is on the sauces. Invite friends to invent and bring sauces.

      Sauce Ideas!

      Chipolte Mayo Dipping Sauce
      Simple and a staple. Combine chipolte sauce with a good mayo, like Duke’s. Combine to taste.

      Curry Dipping Sauce
      Creme fraishe, lemon juice, curry powder
      OR Mayo, curry powder, a bit of milk, some hot pepper sauce

      Spicy Mustard Dipping Sauce
      Mayo, dijon mustard, hot pepper sauce, one minced garlic clove

      Horseradish Dipping Sauce
      Sour cream, horseradish, mustard, Worchestershire sauce, salt and pepper

      Durkee Dipping Sauce
      It’s Durkee. It’s like deviled eggs in a can. Nuff said.

      Bernaise Dipping Sauce
      – Look this one up. It involves egg yolks, and I don’t want to mislead anyone.

      As a bonus, look up “mushroom ketchup.” It’s what existed before tomato ca

        It’s what existed before tomato catchup and is amazing on meat fondue! There are videos available online on how to make it, and some places will sell it.

          I’ve tried mushroom ketchup, on the advice of the Townsend’s YT page. It’s like Worcestershire sauce minus… something drastically important.

            Perhaps the tamarind?

    It went out of business in Lexington. Good stuff, but way too pricey. Even if the meal lasted about two to three very pleasant hours. (Nice long conversation and drinks over fondue is the essence if its goodness.)

    Apparently someone also predicted they would need snazzy outfits. Looking good, Nera! Jonah too, but I don’t quite trust that purple to not be a T-shirt. Sorry, Jonah. At least you still look better than Tip. Treasure it while it lasts.

      As long as it’s not a ratty old t-shirt, wearing a t-shirt under a jacket like that is in style (at least for now). You could really go crazy, and make it one of those t-shirts with the screen print of a dress shirt and tie on it.

          Yes, Nera and Jonah are looking rather Miami Vice-ish.

    The Skin Horse main cast has carried the weight,
    Come on, now, creatures, time to celebrate, and have a party,
    C’mon, c’mon, let’s have a party, now, now, people.
    At the party we command, every sentient creature we can stand.

    Silverfish sing, with giant rats
    Mechanical people wearing party hats, we’ll have a party,
    C’mon, c’mon, let’s have a party, now, now, people.
    At the party we command, every sentient creature we can stand.

    Senile guards bearing pink balloons,
    And a seventies goddess with some big bazooms, let’s have a party,
    C’mon, c’mon, let’s have a party, now, now, people.
    At the party we command, every sentient creature we can stand.

    Nera has come, with Jonah Yu,
    Ready and able to predict the fondue, let’s have a party,
    C’mon, c’mon, let’s have a party, now, now, people.
    At the party we command, every sentient creature we can stand.
    Well, now, at the party we command, every sentient creature we can stand.

    —from “Let’s Work Together,” Wilbert Harrison, performed by Canned Heat.

    Is the ability to suss out fondue related to Dave’s ability to track down baby-back ribs in the original *Narbonic* series?
