"How could you let this happen?"Steve asked, as they were marched towards the Processing Center. "I told you the AI's were going insane!"

"Chelsea said they were going to fix the environment!" his boss replied.

"All I said was they were working on a solution!" Chelsea shot back.

"I told you it sounded like the Final Solution!" Andre shouted at her.

"Great, now we're going to die to stop fracking."

"When did sex enter this conversation?"

"The Groupmind wants our women now?"

"Actually, we want everybody," their escorting morph said.

"So the Groupmind is bisexual?"

"No, that's not... We mean..."

Bad Idea Crack: Christmas in July Edition

I've had an idea bouncing in my head for the past couple of months now to do a Christmas script-fic. I'd probably start working on it in July, because when would be a better time to start Christmas story? (Also it would be timed to actually finish around Christmas proper). And it would be a story everyone has heard of, but not everyone has seen before.

I want to write a new script for Santa Claus Conquers the Martians and have it not suck.

Sales Report: April

Summary: Well that sucked.

Things to Do: Work continues apace on I Fought the Claw.... I'm trying to alternate my daily drabble with a minimum of 100 words on the story. So far so good. Still need a coherent plot for Space Cinderelle and Dragon Mom before I can seriously consider making a real story out of either of them. And then there's Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.
