So if Mender!Whimsy restores the Little House – including Mary singing the World of Love song – to “its proper glory”, just which side will Mary be on?
Unlikely, since the vault was pretty well designed. Unless the ceiling failed (which would have ruined everything) and allowed contaminated materials to seep into the storage area…. or the walls were thin enough for neutrons to bombard everything, it should be fine.

Let us give you
This memory drum!
It’s all that we can do,
This memory drum!
It’s for Moustachio,
This memory drum!
Has info you should know,
This memory drum, memory drum, memory drum …
War’s approaching, and
This memory drum
Says it will come!
Tales of Old War, (This memory drum …)
We spoke of once before, (This memory drum …)
Now we can say we tried (This memory drum …)
To help you choose your side (This memory drum, memory drum, memory drum …)
Once you see what’s on
This memory drum,
What will become?
Take it now, please,
This memory drum!
Plus, we’ll throw in some tees,
With memory drum!
They’re so adorable, (Hum memory drum …)
Pre-shrunk and washable! (Some memory drum, lyrics are dumb, brain getting numb …)
Have a t-shirt and
This memory drum …
Glad you could come!
This is hilarious! Ed, you must have shaken your brain a little too much this morning. (I just end up with a lot of additional neurons all over the floor when I do that.)
I just finished the NARBONIC saga. If there’s gonna be a war in this universe, can we have Melody Wildflower Kelly (aka MELL) make a cameo appearance, Shaenon and Jeff?
My feeling is that should that war take place Madblood would probably side with the AIs. Dave would want to but Helen might not let him. I’m not sure which side Titus and Ginny would choose. <_<
Well, I thought the tee shirts went without saying.
Commemorative buttons, those you have to ask for.
Oh, forgot:
“I saved Whimsy House, and all I got was radiation poisoning, a metal drum, and this crappy tee shirt.”
How do you visit Whimsy World ® and NOT leave with a tee shirt?
Or the perma-gum bumper sticker they slap on all the cars in the parking lot?

The drum is radioactive too…
Unlikely, since the vault was pretty well designed. Unless the ceiling failed (which would have ruined everything) and allowed contaminated materials to seep into the storage area…. or the walls were thin enough for neutrons to bombard everything, it should be fine.
This is mad science we’re talking about. For all we know the right-hand wall of the vault was made of cheese.
Yes, but that gouda is the most radiation-proof material in the structure.
Not against the ravages of a radium furnace!
Chekhov (not the Star Trek character) would be proud of your foreshadowing about the drum, Jeff and Shaenon.
Can we have the T-shirts be gamma-radiation proof?
Ensign Chekhov may also be proud. After all, foreshadowing is a Russian invention. : P
You mean Russian inwention.
*ahem* Ensign Chekov did not spell his name the same way as Playwright Chekhov…

Thanks Eddurd! I’ve got the Joan Jett and the Blackhearts version playing in my head with your lyrics. It’s Excellent.
I’ve got the Bing Crosby version in my head. It’s wonderful hearing these lyrics in his slow, crooner’s tones.
“lyrics are dumb, brain getting numb …”

Damn you. Stuck in my head all day. ALL DAY. You know how silly I look whistling Christmas songs in September? Well worth it, mind.
For some reason I really can’t explain, this makes me think she should be played by George C. Scott.
Always let U.N.I.T.Y. negotiate. (Whether for you or the other side depends.
I was imagining the voice of the administrator from “Beetlejuice”- the smoker?

I’d agree that such would be cool. ^_^

I think Titus and Ginny would be like the Ents in LOTR and not choose sides until they ran outta options.
Just Mell vs UNITY would be epic.
“Gussie and I would like you to have a small parting gift… but this one seemed more relevant.”
I’m not sure if it’s the colouration, the lack of glasses, or an actual change, but Mary seems WAY less intense.
