Jen xxxxxxxxxx

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this movie. The hot tub is really a time machine that will only take you to the ’80s, and once you’re there you realize you’re in the bowels of a spaceship with walls that are closing in and a trash monster that’s trying to squish you, but you’re able to escape because the motor’s broken and the door is half open.

Kind of a disappointing third act, really.

Thanks, Kit A!

    Just what I was looking for to re-enact that scene from Star Wars! Now I can put 4 to 6 “friends” in the hot tub and they can pray that R2D2 can disable the compacter in time to save them!

    I’ll be playing a snarky version of C3PO, naturally.

    Dear Jen,
    I applaud you for your proper use of the word “askew”. But your utter inability to find either the enter key or the comma leads me to believe that you are a cereal killer living in a trailer at the end of a very desolate road. And I know soylent green is people. PEOPLE!
    Sincerely,
    M2N2

    Ps – I have a nice set of used cloth diapers I’d be willing to trade for a chainsaw. Please clean all the blood off of it if you’re interested.

      Finish your Soylent Green; I made it fresh this morning, and it was no one we knew. Once you’re done, put your plate into the dishwasher, but you might want to stand back once I start it.

        Were that it were as easy as that
        On foul trideskahedral Friday
        Dark under lour’g gloomy skies
        An’ wi’ a project deadline nigh.

        My get-up-and-go gone in the night
        For reasons neither clear nor bright,
        As sensible as a dishwasher
        Submerged in hot tub askew.

          Poor Cap’n. You know it’s bad when he channels Robbie Burns.

          That’s actually pretty common–I keep Burns near to hand for a quick read (if not so quick as say, Ogden Nash). Burns is handy for finding dour adjectives and gloomy visions, though.

          Time to worry is when Kipling and Burns get mashed together–Indian and Scot’s English do not well scan together, especially not through a Lowland-York-Umbria accent.

    I have some custions I’d like to askew.

    1) Your hot tub is 6′-8″ s (80″). What the heck does the “s” stand for, seats? If it’s sir Cumfriends, the “s” should be capitalized like that big “S” dishwasher door you’re selling and they should be really close friends.

    2) Don’t you think a ninety foot dishwasher door is overkill? It’s no wonder it’s askew.

    3) How does the Trash compactor fit into this?

    4-6) Does the “S” stand for straight? The dishwasher is Straight, but the door is askew? Does it play country music?

    1. CapnMac Avatar

      Ah, that’s swerveyor notation, 80″s means 8-0 seconds of latitudinal arc to the south. 90’S equates to 90 minutes of latitudinal arc to the South. Minutes of arch are 60 times larger than seconds of arc, ergo the use of upper and lower case notation.

      Latitudinal notation is inferred, as that is the measure of north-south geographic displacement. Given the common levels of accuracy displayed by sparkii en masse it could be that ‘south’ which is along the rotational vector (that direction the sapient would recognize as either east or west). Which introduces a significant skew, as longitudinal arc units are varied in relation to their latitude. (With a further complication of the Earth being oblate sphere, the spin-wise circumference being greater than the axial circumference.)

      Which is probably why the dishwasher is askew, having been used as a trash compactor in the hot tub and all.
