Son, you�re gonna drive me to drinkin� if you don�t stop readin� that Robot Lincoln!

Ahem... meanwhile, back to normal�

Great film quote Robot Lincoln. That�s as iconic a line as �Rosebud� or �Is it safe?� Now I have to get me a copy of �The Ghost and Mr. Chicken�. Fun film.

Thanks for making my teeth hurt, Chapter. That movie gives me carny eye!

Carny eye? I think I got that in a mirror maze once. I seems to recall startling a dwarf there in "Screwy Louie's" room...

Thanks Chapter, nice singing voice too. Braling, those mirror mazes are deceptively dangerous especially when dwarfs are present. I'm going to repeat my joke.
What do you call a psychic dwarf who escapes from prison? A small medium at large. You all can stop making faces at me, if you get slapped on the back, it'll stay that way for good.

The small boy on the country road looked up and screamed. "Look, Mom, Look! A falling star!" The blazing white star fell down the sky of dusk in Illinois. "Make a wish", said his mother. "Make a wish."

You believe it? That guy, Bittering is it? wants us to help him build that rocket of his. Says we're all changing. Says Mars is changing us! Even says my eyes used to be blue! Why, they've always been gold!
Haven't they?

But what happened to all the people in the town? Do you think the Martians killed them? No, in the back of my mind, I know Gickman is responsible for all of this said the captain.

"She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes..."

the worms play pinochle on your snout..."

For after all, he was alone in a room in an empty house in an empty town on the planet Mars where no one was alive, only he lived, he was King of the Barren Hill...
And yet...
"...Barton..."
Someone called his name.
