Robot Sheep from Outer Space!

As they entered the unfamiliar clearing, Kent frowned. “Gee willikers, Betty,” he exclaimed, “I could have sworn this was the path back to the campsite. Now I have no idea where we are. Darn this compass — darn it to heck!”

“You don’t fool me, Kent Perkins,” Betty teased. “You just wanted to get me here all by my lonesome.” Kent blushed. “Jeepers no, Betty. We’re really lost!”

“Well then,” she said coyly as she leaned back against a tree, “whatever shall we do about th–” But a sudden sound interrupted her, a rasping, metallic whine, like dozens of turbine engines starting up all around them. Then, one by one, strange lights approached them.

They were surrounded. Betty screamed and ran into Kent’s arms. The lights moved closer, and soon they could see strange creatures, shambling towards them on stiff, clanking legs.

Then from among them came a single robotic voice: “Get… the… clippers…

    Do I detect the vaguest of nods to The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

    Try watching the movie “Black Sheep.” It’s a comedy/horror movie. It’s either really terrible or brilliant, depending on your perspective.

      I saw it once with a group of friends and a bottle of scotch, as a double feature with Braindead (Dead Alive in the US) hilarious and gross, both of them.

        Oh yes, saw Dead Alive – wasn’t that Peter Jackson before he got ‘respectable’?

          Dead Alive was respectable compared to his previous movie Meet the Feebles. LOL!!!

            Oh, I haven’t seen that one – didn’t it have some sort of puppets? I need to add it to my list.

    All the hovers are working except here. A little empty box pops up.

    Looks like The Rumination Of Doom. Nobody expects the Ovis Rumination!

      Sorry, no hovertext on this photo, because Instagram’s method for embedding photos doesn’t allow for it.

    In this day and age of information overload, I find it takes more than it used to to get me to laugh out loud. And I mean the LOL literally.

    We all joke about “LOL!”s in text messages and emails but, seriously, to get me to let go a *guffaw!* in the middle of the office, takes a powerful hit of wit.

    I *gestures to self proudly* have just guffawed.

    Thanks, Mike!
