    Like was said elsewhere, Echo Bravo must have a strong strain of Misanthrope in his genes.

      Eithee that, or you just missed the joke.

        Eh, Robert’s point doesn’t rule out the joke. Titus has a strong streak of common sense but it wasn’t as though anyone was going to nominate him for the title of “Highest IQ in the Narbonverse”. @_@

      No Spelling Bee prize for Artie.

      He’s still flustered by Sergio, such that his speech is slurred.

      There are no mistakes here. Don’t you know that every dialogue, each frame was crafted a decade ago?

        There were no mistakes before, and there are even fewer now.

        Here I was convinced that must’ve been a ‘Shore-ism!

    Ooohhhh, Echo Bravo, that’s who that is.

    I realized: Echo Bravo is a reference to E. B. White, and Alpha Alpha is A.A. Milne.

      Thank you! ^-^

      I knew their names were references but I didn’t know to what.

    Artie, I feel like that was your big mistake. assuming your enemies were intelligent.

      It’s a no win situation.
      Assuming your enemies are _not_ intelligent is a great advantage since the vast majority fit in that category, but the occasional bright bulb can really blind side you.

        That’s when I employ my motto: Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.

    This may be bad news for the brains of the team.

      She may have been smart compared to him, but that’s a pretty low bar. It doesn’t mean she was “intellingent”.

    He blew up good, but apparently did not blow up REAL good. Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol Hurok would not be impressed. They’d probably get their money back.

      What if he’d been blown up but good?

    I feel old for mentioning such a reference, but this reminds me of the Goof Gas from Rocky and Bullwinkle. Bullwinkle was unfazed because ‘goof gas affects the brain – no brain, no effect!’

      Now that you mention it, Rocky and Bullwinkle would make excellent additions to Skin Horse! But as clients or field agents?

        Yes?

        They’re still around…they’re appearing in a commercial running right now with the Gecko with the British accent…

    As the old saying goes, never get into a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

      But he still has one arm.

    The gerbil gave the full force of a decoherence boom.
    The agent hit the quantum waveform in Artie’s room.
    The gerbil trapped the agent and stopped the attack.
    But the agent hurried up, and said, “I want it back.”

    Later on, you’ll die right.
    Later on, you’ll die right.
    Later on, you’ll die right.
    Come on, Echo Bravo, it’s a flop.

    Ain’t no use in runnin’, what’s the use of funnin’
    Later on, you’ll die right.
    Come on, Echo Bravo, it’s a flop.

    The agent told the gerbil, “No, no more.
    “I could be home with ‘The Jersey Shore.”
    The gerbil saw the agent and his sling arm hand, and said,
    “I’d tell the truth, but you won’t understand.”

    Later on, you’ll die right.
    Later on, you’ll die right.
    Later on, you’ll die right.
    Come on, Echo Bravo, it’s a flop.

    —from “Straighten Up and Fly Right,” Irving Mills and Nat King Cole, performed by the King Cole Trio.
