Watch Out! Mind Leeches! #4 “Bizarro”

“Bizzaro”

An Open Rant to Keith W. Cunningham (“Reality Prime”) from the Party of Keith W. Cunningham (“Reality B”):

Who’s laughing now?

 

Allow me to give you a hint.  NOT YOU!  That’s who.  Me!  It is I who is the one to laugh in this instance.

 

The sheer arrogance that you’ve shown, my clean-shaven counterpart, is unfathomable.  Daring to create a dimensional gateway of nearly exactly the same design as the one which I built in my own reality!  The only difference was the lack of facial hair on the stenciled image of ourselves on the main chassis of the device.  Clearly a goateed dimensional gateway is a BETTER dimensional gateway.  Clearly I managed to work out the final mathematics of omni-reality travel last Tuesday due to my cat (also suitably bearded) having turned left away from her food dish instead of towards it (right).  Clearly a case of copyright infringement!

 

Not so clear though if you ask the courts.  Not only do the courts in your reality (which you have the audacity to have named Reality Prime) not recognize patents across multiple space-time continuums, but in my own, and in all of the subsequent worlds that I have visited (although I could have sworn that the Supreme Court in the world of Squid Keith was bending to my way of thinking).

 

You really left me no choice.  Of course you must see this now as you lie there, helpless at my feet.  How is the view of my boot?  You’ll be shining those later with your vile tongue fit to only spew lies. 

 

Oh, no, don’t bother to struggle against the ropes.  I am quite skilled at tying knots through my training in the Boy Scouts.  Oh, you didn’t attend?  Bet you wish that you’d eaten Corn Pops for breakfast the morning of that school assembly, as I had the foresight to do.

 

No, my friend – I say friend as I cannot stomach the thought of calling you “brother” – I think you’ll find that I have won the day.  Now I think I shall go out into your world, seduce your girlfriend, and let her know the pleasures of a real Keith.  A better Keith!  A bearded Keith!

He has a glorious goatee. 

Watch Out! Mind Leeches! #3 – “Long Road Into Midnight”

“Long Road Into Midnight”

By Keith W. Cunningham

Six years ago if you’d have told me that the SciFi Network was planning on doing a remake of Battlestar Galactica I’d have told you it was a stupid idea. Because that’s exactly what I thought at the time when the mini-series was announced.

Watch Out! Mind Leeches! #2 “Human 2.0″

By Keith W. Cunningham

“Human 2.0″

Once upon a time (1987 to be precise) in a mystical land (known to the strange creatures that inhabited it to be Hollywood) a television franchise rose from the ashes and in phoenix fire was reborn.  That franchise was Star Trek, and the new incarnation was The Next Generation.  It was set about seventy years after the original Star Trek and dealt with a brand new Enterprise, with a brand new crew, and their own mission to seek out new life and new worlds.

That has nothing to do with this article.

Watch Out! Mind Leeches! #1 – Why?

In his first column for us Keith Cunningham ask Why we love what we do?

“Why Sci-Fi?”

Three unrelated facts . . .

1) In the United States we just had the Super Bowl. For the non-Americans out there, that’s the biggest football game of the year. American football, of course, otherwise the biggest game would be the World Cup.

2) Famous astronomer Carl Sagan once hosted a popular television program called Cosmos. In this series, our turtle necked hero would take us with him on an amazing journey through the universe, teaching us about science, using the best special effects that late seventies public television had to offer. Man, that was some kind of turtle neck that man wore, wasn’t it?

3) The great philosopher Socrates once said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Of course, they made him drink hemlock, so maybe he examined himself to death.

These things are completely unrelated facts. Only, they aren’t.
