Killer Robots From Eyebrow

[postscription]

I was recently telling someone a story about killer robots from Mars. It was a scary story, too. Not Friday the 13th scary, more like Andy Rooney’s eyebrows scary: freakish and designed to make small children wet their beds. The story didn’t scare the person I told it to, though, because she is convinced that there is no life on Mars

I wonder what an eyebrow egg would look like? Probably something like Dust Puppy, from UFI, but less cute. And sans feet. But it's a moot point, because they didn't have a basement.

And there could very well be killer robots on mars, they'd just be really really small, and when they invaded, they'd be eaten by a small dog, and the dog would never ever get any credit for saving the world, because he's a dog, and dogs don't have good publicists.

But I wouldn't want to steal from Douglas Adams like that. For heaven's sake, the poor man is dead, and woulnd't be able to look at what I wrote and shake his head in disgust. If I'm going to plagarize, I want the original author to be able to shake his or her head in disgust.

Awwww, I think he'd rather roll his eyes in contempt than shake his head in disgust.

But it's all a bit of a moot point, isn't it

Moot, indeed.
