Those people shooting at you have no sense of humour

Wait. I didn't mean to imply your face is funny - just the comments you tend to make while sneaking around usually before you get shot at are.

*books you and Kerrill a holiday to Gardenos, charges it to Bayban's credit card* Wow I'm surprised this piece of plastic still works. Thanks, Orac.

It probably works because they don't know Bayban's dead yet. He's often disappeared for a while. Frankly, I find it useful to have people like him high up the wanted list.

How did you get his card?

[identity profile] emerald-happy.livejournal.com 2009-12-04 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
They probably don't even want to check he's dead or not in case he isn't and takes it the wrong way.

It survived the explosion on Keezarn. Mab found it floating in space. I can't really use it in my universe. Might as well leave it with Kerril and you.

Yeah, they say plastic will outlast the pyramids, so I'm not surprised. I suppose Baybe nrought us together, and now he's given us a lovely wedding present, via you. :-) Thanks!

I thought the Federation rebuilt over the pyramids anyway. Or maybe they just closed off that dome.

hah. yes. Nice how things work out sometimes. Baybe. snicker. Have you read the book The Sheep-Pig?

[identity profile] vila-restal.livejournal.com 2009-12-06 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
No. Have you seen the Simpsons episode with the Spider-Pig? :-D

[identity profile] emerald-happy.livejournal.com 2009-12-06 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, it's because the Sheep-Pig is called 'Babe' and you called Bayban 'Baybe' and the association of the two makes my mind boggle.

I saw Spider-Pig! Now I have the song stuck in my head. Thanks, Vila :-D

Bayban told me his nickname was Baybe. His mum called him that, but I think he sold the poor woman ages ago, along with his grandmother.

[sings]
Spider Pig, Spider Pig
does whatever a Spider Pig does.
Can he swing from a web?
No he can't, he’s a pig.

LOOK OOOUUUTTT! He is a Spider Pig!
Spider Pig, Spider Pig...
