I'm going to blow up the Moon. What are you doing this summer?

And I thought my plans to use my Anti-Ego Ray to force the reunification of the original members of Van Halen for a summer tour were ambitious…

Well, I’m planning on getting engaged soon. While my soon-to-be fiancee plans the wedding, I’m likely to be found doing some treasure hunting, geocaching and riding my ATV.

If it works, can we try it on Pink Floyd too?

Yes, but please don’t use it on Ricky Martin in an attempt to reunite him with Menudo. It will void the warranty.

Well, crap Winston…I’m right in the middle of gravitationally pushing Mercury outwards and Mars inwards (via “Ancient Chinese Secret”) so we can eventually have a 4 body system; I don’t think Phobos and Deimos will survive the trip here, but it would be cool if they can hang on to make it a 6 body system, but I’m not gonna hold my breath on that one.

“Surf’s up!” I mean, “Surf’s WAAAAAYYYY up!”

Don’t mess up my plans dude, or Phobos WILL land on your lawnmower, and Deimos on your BBQ…therefore RUINING your summer. Don’t go there, bad guy!

Guns and Roses too! Does it have a setting to make Metallica not suck anymore?

I doubt anything could make Metallica not suck anymore. :wink:

Well, we have been looking for a little greenery. Prehensile greenery.

I created the link at work, & I tested it at home.

Worked fine both times, for me.

I guess it just proves that there’s evil, & then there is EVIL!!!
:stuck_out_tongue:

Is the moon obstructing your view of Venus? Do you have your lludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator?

Are you crazy?

Do you have any idea how expensive that would be?

Please try to be practical.

Bah, Q36 XSMs are so 1960’s. We use the new Q-81 models. Next you’ll be suggesting instant martians.

I don’t care about Venus. I can look at the moon all night as long as I can see Uranus.

Slight hijack, but the best blow-up-the-moon story I ever heard was a plot element in The Face, fourth book of Jack Vance’s “Demon Princes” series. (I must get around to Wiki’ing it some time soon, I’ve done the first three <-- shameless self-plug.) It goes like this:

Galactic mega-villain Lens Larque, who is a native of Dar Sai (and you will find that on Wiki <–ssp), has aspirations to live in a genteel district of the neighbouring planet Methlen, but is given the bum’s rush by the snobbish head of the residents’ association or something very like it. Mr. Snob says something about not wanting to see Larque’s “great Darsh face hanging over the garden wall”. So Lens Larque acquires control of a mining company on Methlen’s moon Shanitra, and has an extensive network of tunnels dug and explosives planted. When his master-plan is ripe for execution, he has the ill-luck to be interrupted by Kirth Gersen, the hero of the series, who has Larque on a death-list along with the other Demon Princes who killed his family. But by now Gersen has also fallen foul of Mr. Snob – and heard the story – and although he lets Lens Larque die thinking his plan is unfulfilled, he decides to go ahead with it anyway. He presses the button, there is a colossal series of explosions on Shanitra, and when the dust settles the moon has been permanently sculpted into the likeness of Lens Larque. Whereupon Gersen telephones Mr. Snob and says “Go out into your back garden. There’s a great Darsh face hanging over the garden wall.”

Read and learn, but do not hope to imitate. Megavillainy cannot be learned, it is inborn.

:dubious: Now just a doggone minute. Are you just going to blow it up or are you planning to clean up your mess afterward? You’ll probably just end up making a bunch of little moons that won’t even be interesting and keep falling out of the sky.
And what about the earthquakes? Who’s going to clean up after those?
I can guess, you probably just assumed your Mom would do it, right? Doesn’t she have enough to do? You know the Mom’s of super villians age much faster than those of superheros. Maybe you could think of her for a change.
BTW, what did you do for her for Mother’s Day? Level a mid-sized city? I thought I saw someone with an Electrolux strapped to her back hitchhiking last Monday.

Oh and could you look at our lawnmower? Hubby played with it, but it still runs kinda rough.
And, my birthday is on the 24th. Fireworks might be nice, if you’d consider the delay, I might consider helping your Mom with the tidying up.

Since sharks with lasers are out of the fashion, I am going to train a squad of ambush assault seaslugs with lasers instead this summer. They will be available for rent if you need to invade any particular region or country, or to any other particular super villain schemes.

Sincerely

Kotick, aquatic-assault-creatures-with-lasers trainer

How are you with Dolphin Demo- experts? I have hopes of detroying the Chinese Fleets.

Jim

What, pulling the plug on Zheng Ho and the Treasure Fleets all over again?

Good thing I have that line-of-sight to Shanghai. Heh heh.

(takes off surgical gloves and the welding goggles) The problem with with laser equiped dolphins is that they are easily distracted by sharks with lasers, and vice versa, which is one of the reasons sharks with lasers went out of fashion; too many secret combat missions were total failures because the dolphins and sharks kept distracting each other. Dolphins with lasers are today mostly used in high altitude freshwater lakes to get rid of old trees and cryptospecies.

But a squad of laser equiped ambush assault seaslugs could be sent in to infiltrate the Chinese Fleet, it would be gone from the surface of the ocean within days. (flaps a new pair of surgical gloves and snaps them on smiling with evil glee)

Actually I was looking for a highly trained Pod of Demolitions experts. Old fashion underwater explosive experts. Like SEALS but smarter and quicker.

I was also wondering what movies people were planning to see this summer. I am taking the family to Over the Hedge tonight.

Jim

Kotick - Do you do birthday parties with your trained seaslugs? My nephew’s 8th birthday is coming up and I wanted to do something really special, something he’ll remember.
