    I too am gibberish-compliant.

    Guess that proves Collodi was indeed a MAD genius.

      I think you have to use triangular brackets like this to get italics. HTML code instead of BBS code.

      ‘What part of the world do the Gibbers come from? Did I say it wrong? Are they called the Gibberese, or maybe the Gibberenians?’

        You think that’s weird, check out gibberellin:

    Mrs. Cleaver speaking Jive was probably the funniest moment inAirplane!. Which would sort of be like Gavotte understanding leet.

      Hmm. I think Moustachio trying out ‘leet’ would be funnier.

    I can see it: Chain smoking Pall Malls and scribbling “procedural notes” consisting of abbreviations and single words on cigarette packs. Completely ignoring the “no brainer” stuff that no one else would ever think to try.

    Yup, mad as a march hare.

      Alice Kober, the person who did most of the work to crack Linear B, stored her notes in cigarette boxes.
      Of course, she did die of cancer, so maybe there’s a down side to that method, even without angry mobs.

    Mil-speak definitely is Mad then. I did 10 years yet am only partially fluent.

    What is “ELI5” when it’s at home?

          But the correct answer to ELI5 would always be “Because!”

    (TUNE: “Back In Time”, Huey Lewis & The News)

    Just checking, Sweetheart … on where your search is at!
    Bulldozers coming … they’re gonna squash us flat!
    Wrappers from Pall Mall,
    They make no sense at all!
    But wrecking this house … is a crime,
    C’mon, man, we need a plan
    ‘Cause we’re out of time!

    Who’d understand this? If gibberish they speak,
    Who could have planned this? We’ve got a secret geek!
    Can he figure out
    What this carp‘s all about?
    His leet-speaking skills … are sublime!
    Gotta strain that robot brain
    ‘Cause we’re out of time!
    Little House, out of time!

    Little House, out of time …
    Little House, out of time …
    No time, no time,
    Little House, out of time (it’s not on our side)
    Little House, out of time …

    Well, at least grab Moustachio’s memory drum.

      I’m sure they will, but they probably don’t have the time to grab it, bring it to Moustachio, see what’s on it, and then come back. Besides… it probably doesn’t hold any clues as to Collodi’s daughter, just the Old War.

    Technically, Pall Mall wrappers aren’t a dialect of gibberish. They’re really more closely related to the sports speak during professional games.

    Pressed for time, the material is incomprehensible, and the tech department is stuck with wires up their noses speaking fluent technobabble at all and sundry.

    This vacations is sounding more and more like a typical day at the office for them, isn’t it?

    Not to be that guy, but shouldn’t Sweetheart and Tip be wearing radiation suits? That was a major plot point before…

    Sorry, I work continuity on productions from time to time…
