LocoMotor: Take that, Trout...
The Trout: aaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkk!!!!!!
gramps laughs evily and wrings his hands.
HG: U don't understand! We are messing with time point here. This incindent NEVER happened 60 years ago, only now, u've landed us right smack in the middle of it... U'll change our entire future unless we get out of here and NOW!
HT: huh? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa.........???
The Trout: (eyeing HG) Hubba hubba... whats she?
HG: (GULP)
Uatu:"X-51 what is this disturbance in new york circa 1940?"
Robo-guy:"It appears a madman has taken a beautiful woman hostage on the Statue of Liberty,and I told you I want you to call me Vicky."
Bison being shunted through hypertime by an unknown force(?) steps into the blue area of the moon.
BS:"Send me down there you big-bobbly-headed freak!"Taking watch-boy by his scrawny throat.
Watcher:"Vicky, Help me!"
Vicky:"I'll use Reed Richards Chrono-Spatio-Thingy to zap him, oh, large-headed one!"

ZZZAPP!
BS"DAMN YOU VICKY !! You missed the statues torch-room by thirty yards!AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH..........................

SPLOOOSH
BS:"gurgle"
Chewy Walrus: Huh?
Fortunately, the others shunted into the torch room and not the water. Lance shunts on top of granpa's head, stunning him! Jonah'swhale grabs Hourgirl and shouts,"wait until I tell granma!" Everybody shunts back to the moon, including Bisonsix and Hourgirl!
Chewy thanks the watcher guy
Steve H. Peterson thanks Vicky, the robo-guy.
Franta thanks the three Doc Frantas.
Hourgirl thanks Jonah'swhale (as only as she can )
Lance thanks God this post is over!
------once over and twice twisted------------
Chewy Walrus: I said it once and I'll say it again. Huh?
This feels like the "I'm their fearless leader. Now which way did they go?"
HNB: "So... we're on the moon, right?"
Lance: "I think so."
HNB: "Why?"
"Dunno."
"Okay. Um, what about the bombs? Rhyme Guardian did something with them and they've gone surprisingly long without going off..."
"The bombs are no longer a threat. Trust me," said a voice from the shadows, and out stepped Rhyme Guardian.
"What do you mean by that?" said Chewy.
"They have been neutralised. Goodbye," replied Rhyme Guardian, and disappeared into the shadows again.
"That guy's really starting to creep me out..." said HNB.
Lance: Here we are at post no. 100 and the girl has been rescued and the world is safe! God bless America!
-------once over and twice twisted-----------
BISONSIX dripping Hudson river gunk:"WHOOOOO-HOOOOOOO !!"
Shock Headed Peter: SHP sits in his base.
SHP: Did they believe you?
Crackly voice over radio-set: They bought it hook line and stinker!
SHP: Excellent. Bring me the plans.
CVOR-S: Yes master.
SHP: Heh heh heh hoo ha ha HAhHAHAHAHAH!!
Chewy Walrus: Wait, guys! Walrus sense is tingling something fierce! We've been had, gentlemen. Care to do something about it? With our FULL roster, that is?
JW: (Between HG kisses) What IS our FULL roster?
According to the records left to me by Big Boss Tweed and from what I've picked up over the past few days... hours... weeks... whatever the heck that was... Anyway, here's the complete roster of every member of TOMB ever!
Magnificent Five
Chewy Walrus
Franta
HourGirl
Jonah'sWhale
Lance
Secondary Members
Steve H. Peterson
Doc Franta #1
Doc Franta #2
Doc Franta #3
Hardy New-Born
BisonSix (I suppose, I've never actually enrolled him in membership)
Former Members
Big Boss Tweed (Deceased)
Grynterne 1011 (MIA, I guess)
Grandpa Whale (Turned to the Dark Side)
As long as no one has any objections, this is the fullest roster of TOMB ever compiled. And now, our villains...
Grandpa Whale
Shock-Headed Peter
Rhyme Guardian
"Um... with all due respect, Chewy... who said Rhyme Guardian was a villain? He DID save me, Lance, and Franta from the bombs... sure, he has a hidden agenda, obviously, but what makes you so sure he's evil?" said HNB.
"My Walrus sense."
"Uh-huh... Walrus sense, I see..."
Lance: And is walrus sense like mother's ears?
Or is walrus sense referring to your having the I.Q. of a walrus?
Maybe walrus sense and fashion sense are one and the same?
What exactly is walrus sense?
And may I have some?
I miss Grynterne 1011!
Grynterne 1011, where are you?
If anybody sees Matter-Beamers 1012 thru 1020 ask them where Grynterne 1011 is!
<Sigh> I also miss granpa! He had such charm...and he packed one big (and I mean really big) bat!
-------once over and twice twisted-----------
Chewy Walrus: Yes, Lance, a bat that he somehow turned into a knife to kill one of our own. Now, Walrus Sense is my vain attempt at telepathic empathy (or is that emapathic telepathy?). It's really just like Spider-Man's Spider Sense (tm), but it's suited around the needs of the Walrus. Lewis Carroll had the Sense. John Lennon had the Sense. I have the Sense. It just sorta works out that way. The only problem was that Lennon didn't make the sense work for him. That's why he was killed, see? But, I have vowed to use the Sense not only for my own safety, but for the safety and preservation of the timeline! Now, gentlemen (and HourGirl), any ideas on who might have double-crossed us?
BISONSIX: I don't know who coulda crossed us- I just got here myself.
And, whadda I gotta do to get initiated, already--and none of that "thank you, sir. may i have another" crap.
Lance: Hmn... If walrus sense(tm) works and Lewis Carroll used it wisely than Lewis Carroll is still alive! Jabberwocky! (Since John Lennon used it poorly and was murdered.)
Now is that logic or is that logic?
Why must there be a traitor? I missed this piece of logic.
If Ihave to speculate...well, we haven't seen Grynterne 1011 in about 170 posts or so!
Come on in Bisonsix. Remember the rules. 1.Play, play, and play all day!
2.Hands off "the girl!"
--------once over and twice twisted----------
BISONSIX: "Waddaya mean 'keep yer hands off the girl'? grrrrrrrrrrr......
Chewy Walrus: Very good, Lance! But let me warn you. Walrus Logic is not to be questioned. Kennedy questioned it. Look what happened to him.
Lance: Just out of curiousity, which Kennedy? Not that it matters since bad things have happened to all of them!
Chewy Walrus: Lance, pick one.
Steve stands in a crowd on Staten Island.
Steve:(Voiceover) 'So it seemed temporarily we had pulled the world's hash out of the fire. I had achieved two of the points on my plan, having saved the girl and got a 'intertextualiser'. With some practice I figure this doohickey could give me weapons from any fiction I want. I hadn't had the chance to give my creator a swift boot to the face, but I was a little closer to realising my fourth point, talking as I was to a rather attractive Japanese tourist with cute eyes and grabable hips.'
Uhh, do you want to go get a drink?
Tourist: ????
Steve: Damn... don't know any japanese... uhm (mimes drinking action)
Tourist:????????????
Chewy Walrus: Peterson! Get your trenchcoated butt over here! We're back in business.
Steve:(Voiceover) 'Damn.'
