Endtown by Aaron Neathery for November 20, 2012

Oh Aaron, I was looking forward to the fight!

She started it Big mouth bring big blows. Would like to know just what and how much of what she told them. Are we going to have a “witch burning?” Can you give us a flash back to describe what happened ?? Please? Love you Blessed Be

A Rabbit with a Moustache?

Sure, wabbits always have whiskers.

“Hold yer horses”? In a world of animals I think one koala is all he can bear.

Apparently the voice of Reason didn’t show up. Poor Linda! She never learned that “discretion is the better part of valor”.

Yoda she ain’t.

Full and frank exchange of views. Good thing.

Linda should be made head of security. After all, she made heads of everyone else.

Then the guys in the bar can get ratted……

Look at tha mushtashe on that rabbit

Now she’s gone from being “Linda, the girl whose world has been destroyed,” to “Linda, the girl who picks fights in bars.”

WAS a koala.NOW a gummy bear.

I hope she gave their knee caps a good beating.At least she stood up to them.Beans all around.

I remember an old Hank Williams Jr. song fit this perfectly“Attitude Adjustment”Now I met an old friendIn the bar the other nightand he got a little drunk and he wanted to fightand he jumped up and challenged every man in the roomand just about the time he got the words outand ol’boy jumped up and closed his mouthand used his head for a mopand his butt for a broom.It was an attitude adjustmentI guess it was his first timeAn attitude adjustmentNow he understands just fineHe got bent out of shapeThen he opened his mouthand just one appointmentStraightened him right outIt was an attitude adjustmentOh It’ll work everytime.

We’ll see how she handles the next encounter.

To mr_shermanThey have the dittos. Have they learned how to use them yet?When he gave Prof Mallard he said basically you can figure out how to make them work.The dittos however conceal only visual. Topsiders are now aware of that after the encounter with the airship. I would figure they would learn quickly how to compensate. Use all the scanning capabilities of their equipment.The issue would be size of what is being concealed. Large object equals large mass for the detectors. Now small mass such as one mutant would need much finer adjustments therefore more difficult to see. That is why the Stealth F117 works so well. Its design to deflect rather than reflect and its size makes it signature very small almost bird size.Foot prints are covered simply by dragging a cloth behind you on a rope. However it can leave a drag line marking. To a trained observer it could be seen and would probably result in being examined closely.That was how I found camo’ed vehicles on the ground. I followed the tracks. When they tried to hide the tracks I followed what they had scraped on trying to hide the tracks.You look for a change in the scenery. Anything changing. Color, shadow, position. Thats why I did what I did in Nam I was very good at observation. I was always the first to spot the sniper hiding in the field. It was either movement or the brush did not seem right to me. The dittos would work best in urban areas. More debris, less open ground, others in the area making marks. Across the open areas in that land walking , dragging would leave marks. Like a desert but the wind would aid if they have any by covering the marks.

Have we seen any barbers in Endtown? It looks like mutants retain the head and facial hair they had at the time of mutation, and it stops growing, like the rest of their fur. Some people may have had their hair trimmed to match their fur, but unless it’s shaved altogether, it wouldn’t grow any longer. Hair longer than their fur at the time of mutation would stay the same length until cut, and wouldn’t get any longer than their fur.

So much for the theory that Linda had any skills at hand to hand combat.

One way to handle the topsiders is the covert insertion of many smalll mechanical porcupines. The sudden influx of mutants in their midst out to provide a lot of confusion.

Oy gevalt. Some days you just can’t take the Topsider out of the mutant, even when the Topsiders were more than happy enough to blast said mutant into atoms after becoming a mutant.

Stupid nasty loud mouth drunks always wind up on the floor one way or another. I knew this would happen. Also remember, she is still on probation. The problem is that she is still a Topsider and she will always be a topsider. ( Just because her appearance is a cute Koala Bear does not change anything at all.) I really don’t think she can or could ever erase that side of her of being a Topsider…because it has been ingrained in her. Her ingrained prejudism toward the Endtowners have been with her a very long time. It’s been an ingrained habit for a lifetime and it is deeply enbedded into the texture and fiber of her being. I just see more trouble for her in the future.

You are right Veteran, Linda did have an “Attitude Adjustment!” Still, Linda felt disgusted of how Parrothead and “Miss Piggy” had to open up wounds of when Linda was a Topsider at one time. I’m glad those rowdies didn’t kill poor Linda. Right now, I feel what Linda is thinking is, “I HATE ENDTOWN!” just like the Quantas TV commercials.

The story wouldn’t have been credible if Linda HADN’T been like this. Mister Neathery is writing well.

DarwinskeeperShe probably has skills but at knee level they dont work wellmuch less drunk.I hoped she had done better but not surprized she didn’t win or even come out even.Her Topsider attitude got her ass handed to her in so many ways.I can not imagine this will go over well for her.Cops may not have shown up but may have been informed especially Security.At least Endtown’s re-education center is better than Topsiders. You just have to pay attention to Ms Horsey.

Hey,…the rabbit and Linda are about the same stature… He cared enough to bring her back here in his arms, as opposed to just having her carted off by the authorities for starting a ruckus in his establishment… Maybe this is her chance to get to know someone who might help her feel more at home here… They’d make a cute couple…

Mack the Macaw???Jim Conure?Bird IstheWord?Uhoh!I feel a song coming on.Bird Bird BirdThe Bird is the WORD.Papapapapa Umm MaoMoa Papa Umm MaoMao.(Sorry got carried away on coming up with something to describe a Parrothead.)(I mean I like margaritas too and yeah its all my own damn fault but the tatoo is not mine. And that pop top cut still hurts maybe I should put some ointment on it. I think it might be infected)

Now I FULLY understand you surfstuff55.I knew there had to be a reason.Now I know your weakness.Beaches, Margaritas (Frozen), Shoeless in the sand, and a hopless romantic.Jimmy Buffett addict.I prefer Cabo Wabo Tequila. (Sammy Hagar)I mean Jimmy puts me to sleep then my stuff disappears.

Jimmy will never loose his popularity.And you know I am just jabbing.I do like Mac Macaw as a name.for the girl piggy. Penolope Sow.

Gummy bear? Did they knock her teeth out?

One thing is for sure…Linda was a real hit at the bar.

“As a full fledged Jimmy Buffett “Parrothead” I’m hoping we can come up with another description for beakface!”Well, the reference was the main reason for my deciding to keep using it… ;-)
