Special Guest Schmick
Due to his recent assignment to a remote
part of the world, Michael will not be able to write this month's Point
/ Counterpoint. Instead, I, Schmick,
will be writing in his place. I know this is not usual policy, but I
felt the need to explain to everyone the occurrences that befelled the
mighty leaders of D.A.N.G.E.R.
in the last year.
Now, normally D.A.N.G.E.R.
security is among the finest in the known world. We have had only one
problem in the past, the famed Penguin incident, and Lord Andrew Kilgore
quickly lost his head because of it. Problem solved.
But this time
this time there was
no way to be prepared for what happened. You see, one year ago, D.A.N.G.E.R.
began its preparation for Y2K. Making the compound ready was a top priority.
We updated every computer, scientific calculator, and Furby in the compound.
With all this done, it was time to test
the computers, etc. by setting ahead the clocks to Jan. 1, 2000. Everything
worked perfectly, with the exception of one computer; Dr. E's Mega-Time
Jumper!
With a large pop, the Mega-Time Jumper
flared to life. Of course, the entire command staff happened to be in
the lab when it happened. So, we've spent the last year in 65 million
BC. Lucky enough for us, the doctor has sent back supplies to every
odd year before 1951. Unfortunately, we landed in an even year. So we
merely waited a year and came back.
As for what I found when returning
shock
and relief. I thought for sure that our world conquering counterparts
would have destroyed any chance of D.A.N.G.E.R.
taking over. But alas, they did not.
Does this mean all the other would-be groups
follow our example? Does this mean unless D.A.N.G.E.R.
is there to hold their hands, they wouldn't conquer the spelling of
their names, much less the world? And furthermore, does this mean that
f.e.a.r. and
SWANC
are just copy cats, mimicking us in the world domination game because
their minds were too small to think of it first? Perhaps.
So I leave you with the knowledge that
D.A.N.G.E.R.
is back and in full force. That should make f.e.a.r.
and SWANC
feel better
they will have something to do again.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be having
duck for dinner tonight.
