"They call it 'Earth', I believe."

 

[Interference]

If only it had ended at that.

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Just because I was dressed in a fish costume and tied to the bed with sticky taffy was no excuse to shriek angrily at me, yet that is exactly what my wife did when she came home early from work last Monday.

The thread had rumbled on in my absence.

 

[Interference]

"Absence makes the heart grow," Dr Frankenstein opined.

 

[Talysia]

"So, it's a device that will reset reality? We can all start again, and correct our mistakes?" she gasped.

 

[Interference]

(Far too good to be true, Tal )

Je ne regret rien, though to be fair I've had my niggles....

"I don't do death by ecstasy, it's not my gig."

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

You want to know why I'm hiding, I suppose. It's simple. When I infiltrated the alien base in northeastern Russia I had no idea what was in store for me. When they found me out, they beat me and left me for dead.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

As I donned the suit, I wondered where my life had gone wrong. I had been rich once, loved and adored by millions around the world. Now it was day after day of kids and messes. At least they loved me.

But I wish they would stop honking my big red nose.

 

[Interference]

The ground proximity warning was still sounding. If we hadn't been sitting on the ground for twenty minutes it might have worried me, but I'd already found something far more intriguing to worry about. The ground was still falling.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

My body was kneeling on the sand right where I left it.

 

[Christopher Lee]

As I stared with awed fascination at the goat, the goat stared back.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

'Please keep your arms and legs inside the time machine at all times,' the stewardess told the passengers.

 

[Nik]

" 'They'll be waiting at Gretna Gateway, Mike-- You can't miss them...' Yeah, yeah..." I grumbled. "Thanks, Sandra ! Come out, come out, wherever you are-- Ah ?"
