That's life with a cockatoo. Random screaming (and other things) for no reason. He will answer the Kaiju when we are watching Godzilla movies, and he absolutely had a scale 10 freakout during the Romulan Witch massacre in Picard. Omg I'd've loved to have seen that! Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Never mind the interociter funnel. I still see an old school Shell petrol pump every time I look at the flutonic reactor. Good old Groucho. Quite handy that he happened to be carrying all that blu-tac around for just such an emergency. |

YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE START UP PROCEDURES IN THE CORRECT ORDER!!😀 And keep topping it up with flutes, though a piccolo will do in a pinch. |

While I am not a Kaiju fan, I would love to watch Groucho vs. Godzilla. Maybe we could pitch it to Toho? |

I started seeing the three dots on the teleport as eyes, and now I can't help see the green teleport as a cute three-eyed robot with claw hands in the air, standing on its side, just waiting to flip down and zoom away. It reminds me of the scutters in Red Dwarf It reminds me of some of the robot contraptions I drew in my early teens for the comic series Starpath. I wanted to show you some pictures of those but it turned out that while the design was very clear in my head the drawings are rather vague. Taken out of context, you would have only been able to see coloured shapes. But there were also three-eyed robots with dangling hands in Gamma, a comic series I made a few years later. These are two examples from the Gamma episodes Isle of Avengers (ep. 1) and Testflight to Doom (ep. 4), the latter one serving a bowl of piping hot soup (no, it’s not gazpacho!) to our imprisoned heroes:   |

Love the mermaid! When my 2 saw Voyage to the Bottom of the sea for the first time, they were enthralled by the way the set went side to side with the actors doing the same...I said the better the episode, the more times it goes side to side...although in one sequence, the crew burst out laughing...before the director had said 'CUT'!!! Good old Irwin, never one to waste any footage at all!!!! Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

Possibly someone aboard Seaview distilled hooch in the ship's lab, and the werewolf confused the moonshine with moonlight and thus transformed. Actually, a scientist attached to Seaview was attacked by a wolf while on shore doing research, and transformed on the submarine, sans any full moon. . . Cockatoo? What Cockatoo?

It's just been bought on Space Ebay by "Arzt Ja" The Teutonic swine! He's hiding his identity by using German! That said, "Who Arzt Ja" does sound like "Who asked you?" in Strine. Wandering even further off the track, my favourite bit of Strine is the shopkeeper Emma Chissett. And if that makes no sense, pretend you are in a shop, point to something portable nearby and enquire in your broadest Australian accent "Emma Chissett?" until the light dawns. Which is exactly what Arzt Ja was doing on Space eBay. (Phew, back on topic.) |

Having learned that the money we gained from Dr Yes isn't counterfeit, we can spend it with wild abandon, e.g. in fancy restaurants: (Sorry for the in-jokes...) |
