Scene XX – Victory in Charlotte

[Setting] The Alexa II black helicopter. Relentless highway patrolman Keanu Reeves, President Donald Trump, benevolent oligarch Jeff Bezos, and the laid-off trucker-who-learned-to-code super-hacker Dane Taggart discuss their plan to save free shipping for all Americans. Jeff Bezos, in the pilot’s seat, switches the Alexa II into autopilot mode so he can join the others in the passenger compartment. Cue disguised-expository-plan-reveal music.

Bezos: “Alexa, autopilot mode. Follow the I-85.”

Alexa: “I’m sorry; I don’t understand.”

Bezos: “Alexa, switch to autopilot.”

Scene XI – A Highway in the Arizona Desert

[Setting] A highway in the Arizona desert whose blacktop mirrors the dark of the moon. Stars are visible. A lone Arizona highway patrol car, siren blaring and lights blazing, races by in the cool desert night, cutting the romance factor in half. Cue dramatic-chase-music-with-slightly-romantic melody.

Officer: “This is 1-Adam-12. I’ve spotted the Death Truck and am in pursuit.”

Dispatch: “Roger that, 1-Adam-12. Exercise extreme caution. They say it’s already killed a cop.”

The Elevator Pitch

It’s late 2020. Driverless AI freight trucks have been beta-tested on US highways for nearly a year. Stealing from them in novel and dangerous ways is all the rage. Free shipping has never been more expensive. Then Mobile Fortress steps up with an innovative solution: a fully-armored and automated truck with active anti-theft devices. A new era in free shipping dawns.

[Script by Paul Dubrow (Dub) & Eli Fisher (Fish)]

The Spork Speaks

Some people are pitchfork people. They like the heft, the balance, and the soothing calm that comes from sharpening evenly-spaced tines. Pitchforks look deadly. They are a practical yet humble implement used by commoners to work the land. When it’s time for 1789 shenanigans, pitchfork people herd oligarchical despots like dung to the compost heap. You know, the way that God intended. If you don’t find a cartoon-like-jab to the behinds of a Maxine, May, or Merkel as spectacularly hilarious as myself…

The Spork Speaks

Today’s madness started on Gab, where I ran across this YouTube video from Seething Frog asking a Very Important Question. Did Hillary Clinton attend John McCain’s funeral? The preview tells the story, but here’s the full video.
