Troll sighting confirmed, Jim!

.

.

.

This could be hugh! -Sam, let's have the IBTZ count.

.

.

.

Current IBTZ count is 24- including 9 mushroom cloud gifs and one picture of
Donald Rumsfeld with laser beam eyes and lightning bolts coming out of his left nostril.

.

.

.

No cats with machine guns?

.

.

.

No sir.

.

.

.

What about those two "We're doomed!" guys?

.

.

.

Nothing yet.

.

.

.

Do I have to think of everything?- Enable 'doomed' configuration!

I love those guys! Alright, fire up the ZOT9000!!

.

.

.

Right, chief!

.

.

.

How Ralph got the ZOT9000 assignment is beyond me! He has no clue what he's talking about.
---Tell me about it! He just makes crap up as he goes along.

.

.

.

ZOT9000 advanced systems protocol engaged, Jim! All beebers set to stuned! Oscillation
overthrusters running at one billion jiggiwatts with Flux Capacitor capacitating flux at maximum two
tons per second! Defliberation Laser Transmogrifier speed set to...um... spork-weasel!!

.

.

.

Spork-weasel???

.

.

.

Spork-weasel, spork-weasel..... just as I thought. No such phrase exists in the specs.
---Ralph's making crap up again!

.

.

.

Ralph, did you just say spork-weasel??

.

.

.

I'm not sure, chief!

.

.

.

Idiot! I put in the years! I paid my dues! That should be me up there behind the wheel of the ZOT9000!
---It's all politics, Joe.

.

.

.

Commence ZOT countdown!

.

.

.

Oh, Bill, isn't this exciting! My nodes are tingling!!

Yes, slide rules are handy devices and many of us gals appreciate them but I’ve found it to be true… the size of the slide rule is of no consequence unless the engineer in charge knows how to put it to good use - :),

And unless you are married to or know your engineer very, very well, best to always use a “pocket protector” too!

[bwteim]

The slide rule was affectionately known as the slip stick....

LOL, as I was reading this I was thinking of,

All Your Base Are Belong To Us Mods.

In AD2006, war was beginning...



What happen?
Someone set up us the bomb.
We get signal.
What?
Main screen turn on.
It's you!



How are you gentlemen? All your base are belong to us.
You are on the way to destruction.



What you say?



You have no chance to survive make your time. Ha ha ha...

[Mjaye]

I especially love the "spork weasel", that will be a useful phrase to appropriate for future use.

Good stuff...

[Darkwolf377]

I already praised that one to high heavens--a true ZOT! classic!

[Caramelgal]

Ehw. That’s not really what I had in mind… More like…

Or…

Now that's what I call some sexy nerds!

[Caramelgal]

That sounds sort of naughty!

[OneWingedShark]

Thanks for the ping... this was a great article.

[Caramelgal]

Sorry. What was I thinking! I almost forgot the Myth Busters!



Especially Adam…very nerdy sexy cute!

[greyfoxx39]

Is that a meerkat I see there...I love that series.

[greyfoxx39]

You are welcome...we have some really creative people on this site!

[Caramelgal]

Thanks so much Roscoe. This was great and a much appreciated and needed humor break.

Looking at the pics and your comments, I’ve gotta believe you are fans of these guys…MST3K Lives On!



Classic.

Do this again sometime. “Behind the Scenes of a ZOT! – Part II – The Sequel” or perhaps the Prequel? Think of the possibilities.

[meema]

ROTFLMAO!!!

My daughter-in-law is sitting here with her laptop, wondering what has gotten into her crasy mother-in-law!!!

[sig226]

Fasinating.

I'm still waiting for my first IB4Z post, so it's truly amazing to see all the science behind a zot. Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Stamford must be jeaulous.

:<)

[meema]

Is that a meerkat I see there...I love that series.

YES that must be a meerkat! I love that series too!

[MrEdd]

BOOMP!

[kayak]

Hilarious! Well done, sir!

[MrEdd]

No zot thread is complete without this...(maybe it's just me but...)

Ooh an actual picture of a spork weasel.
It's cuteness belies it's insidiousness.

[Soaring Feather]

Thanks for the ping. It is indeed hilarious.
