"Let me drive, I've only had like 8 beers"

FancyShark
FancyShark

I'm not sure I like the hero setting up a drunk driver just to remove him from the picture

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

I'm trying to picture what the hell a "driving blip" is

FancyShark

It's like a blop, but lighter and faster

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

You ever see a bubble canopy on a fighter jet? It's like that.

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Almost as sleek as a blep but just a little bit less expensive.

gellaho

Vroom vroom!

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Nard V Ferrari

gellaho

Wheeeeeeeee

FancyShark

Dragonard vs Singing Albino

Brendan

Dragonard really ended up in a Burt Reynolds comedy this time.

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Carjacked by a carhorny albino drunk is not how I thought this would go.

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

if he wants the albino guy out of the way you might as well let him go on the drunken joyride. He'll crash himself into a wall going at the speed of sound and atomize

FancyShark

But what if he misses?

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

at that speed and that level of inebriation he's gonna hit something

gellaho

A frantic gentleness

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

It's funny because this whole time I thought Dragonard was the horny albino drunk

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Yeah work that guidebar. More......frantic gentleness.........almost there.

FancyShark

With chaotic placidity

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

is the guidebar supposed to be a joystick or a steering wheel

FancyShark

Probably should have checked before they got on the highway

gellaho

High-assed is back and better than ever

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

The word guidebar is raising a lot of questions that were already answered by the word guidebar

FancyShark

Drinking really takes it out of you

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

"Look, its a thing I was born with, you try living with your buttcheeks under your shoulder........NEVERMIND! Pull over or I vaporize your face!"

gellaho

Dragonard finds the automatic steering, just in time to get hit in the Dragonards

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

surprisingly maneuverable inside the driving blip of this supersonic transpo if he can double knee a dude from the passenger bucket

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Drake Dragonard, 1000 years in the future, winks out of existence.

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

that is the dumbest thing I've ever typed

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

WOLF DRAGONARD MAKES THE IMPOSIBah fuck it you get it by now

gellaho

A pleasant way to go

FancyShark

"Now freeze"

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

TONIGHT WE STEAL THE STARS

gellaho

Oopsie

Brendan

Everyone knows your soul can't leave your body if you seal all your orifices.

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

if he's got a huge crater in his sternum you'd think that'd fry his trachea and thus his ability to speak

Brendan

Oh wait, my buddy actually wrote a rad horror story about that.

FancyShark

Yaw that transpo, Dragonard

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

a black pit on an eight lane highway what the fuck is with this planet

gellaho

Let me land on these soft rocks, really quick

Brendan

Boop: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=51147628

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Pittsburgh roads, amirite

FancyShark

ooooo!

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Bookmarked.

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

jesus why would you put an ejector seat on your supersonic car? you'd get jettisoned and instantly full-body degloved by g-forces

FancyShark

It's fine. The embankment cushioned his fall

FancyShark

The dealership charges extra to disable it

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Inertial dampeners in your bucket seats mean you can eject from your hypercar in safety and style.

gellaho

All in all, a pretty good day

FancyShark

GIF

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

wait I thought this was a packed highway? why are there suddenly no cars?

gellaho

It was a test track

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Just like that guy on The Expanse!

gellaho

Highways generally don't have banked turns and pitstops

FancyShark

Or Goose!

FancyShark

Civil engineers are gutless cowards

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

the descriptor for the pitstop made it sound like the car was self-repairing

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

GIF

Hahaha why is this all its own gif, what the fuck

gellaho

Inject it directly in my veins, Jakes

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

"seamy"?

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

GIF

FancyShark

Quackorium!

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Why wouldnt it be?

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

"had a thriving aborto business til the space courts overthrew Robo v. Wado"

Brendan

Dr. Hercularis: Wookie Zoidberg

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Hahahah Dr. Hercularis is a top tier name for a comic book doctor who makes a superstrength formula and injects it into like a baby or a dog.

Brendan

I remember the day Muldoonsworld criminalized abortos

gellaho

That cialis really helped my massive bruises

Brendan

Oh shit, this quack speaks Gunslinger High Speech.

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Shortly before the Blockade of Coat Hanger IV.

FancyShark

This is extra weird to me because there's a store in my town called Muldoon's

Brendan

The furry, dewlapped monstrosity in white lab coat crossed the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Im immediatly picturing this doctor as a wookie Gabby Hayes.

gellaho

The quack introduces him to the sexy knife, I mean Jenny

FancyShark

Proof that knife guys want to fuck their knives

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Dragonard has some really interesting pubic scars.

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

I feel like we could have avoided several weeks of fuck-ups by starting here

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

But that wouldn't have been fun!

FancyShark

If we started here, there would still be an albino out drinking! This is better!

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Yeah Jakes really did wanna just be R.E. Howard minus the suicide and not being able to talk to girls.

gellaho

Time for some probing

Brendan

Technically, no matter how you do it, the knife is fucking you.

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

GIF

Brendan

You can fuck a knife, but the knife will be fucking you harder.

FancyShark

GIF

Brendan

Dragonard's belly scowled.

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

sounds like the only fuck Dragonard's about to get is of the mind variety

Brendan

Whitley Strieber's COMMUNION II

So does Walken just not own eyebrows?

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Thats what the loop at the bottom of kunai are for.

FancyShark

They're retractable

gellaho

Probes seem pretty bad for the prober

Brendan

Regular or nictitating?

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

damn, Lazaret's on some good shit

FancyShark

In winter, regular. In summer and mating season...

gellaho

Think about the length and thickness

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

In the mating season its both, it lures the females in so the Walken can grasp his mate by the face with his pharyngeal jaws.

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

That's my secret, cap

FancyShark

"Hey, Lazaret? Haha, sorry, funny story. I didn't switch the inhibitors off yet. So don't try to probe his brain or- Laz? Dude?"

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

"All I can see is some kind of wall? Also i hear a chant about making something great again? It's probably just psychic echoes."

Brendan

Boy Dragonard really Duned that Burt Reynolds comedy.

FancyShark

Dragonard thought about mice with tiny swords and spears

gellaho

The tentacles penetrate the wall

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Mr Dragonard, tear down this wall

FancyShark

Colonoscopies get weird in the future

gellaho

Good news, his thick wall killed the psychic

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

"SOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU LIKE SUIKODEN?!"

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

seems like kind of a waste of a good psychic if you're gonna introduce him and kill him off in the same scene

FancyShark

Yee later admonishes Dragonard about killing one of their best psychics

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Its not suspicious at all when you kill someone who was supposed to be probing your mind to see if you were suspicious or not.

LyraV

you can have ladylike gutter fury.

gellaho

Or he just passed out

👽 Sexual Trash Ninja Mo

"Ladylike Gutter Fury Lyra"

gellaho

He's the eraso from earlier

FancyShark

Thank god her breasts were taken into account

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

is it a shitty old sci-fi novel if we're not objectifying women?

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Jenny Sable is basically PS1 Lara Croft, with her sharp breasts and pointy earlobes.

LyraV

This might be the best thing I've ever heard.

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Just once I'd like a shitty old sci fi novel to objectify a man's tits, just to shake things up.

gellaho

Jenny's cat shipment has arrived

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

"you nearly killed the guy trying to vet you, wanna know about our entire operation?"

Brendan

On our planet, the hairy nipple is considered the most erotic, as with all advanced civilizations!

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

*Is genuinely hoping there are cats.

Brendan

(I KNOW women have them, you don't have to tell me. Just send pictures if you need to prove a point)

gellaho

A very expensive shitbeast

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

magus has a name, gellaho.

LyraV

This explains a good portion of Barbarella.

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

ew it's the reddit cumjar

FancyShark

Sbarro: Origins

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Oooooh so this is how mozzarella is made.

I always figured it was gross.

LyraV

this broke me

FancyShark

Double fuck yeah on new title, @LyraV

LyraV

its too fucking funny

gellaho

A shock absorber, if you will

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

GIF

Brendan

Ew, it's the Reddit cumjar

FancyShark

Syrup lakes?

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

right next to the treacle mines, presumably

Brendan

I'm bothered that everyone liked that joke except for Ferroday, whom it was meant for.

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

The peanut butter swamp was drained years ago to make room for a gazebo.

Ozzie

Pandering deserves no less

FancyShark

Wafflop commissioned the lake's construction

LyraV

Someone was playing Candyland while they were writing

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

sorry I missed it, I'm splitting attention between this and a youtube video essay about theranos

gellaho

My boner is upsetting the mission!

Brendan

Theranos was right!

FancyShark

It's high school all over again

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

what is it about this guy that makes women wanna fuck him on sight?

Brendan

he's angry about everything.

FancyShark

His Dragonards

FancyShark

Kratos pulled

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

all he has done is bumblefuck his way through this whole escapade, he should look, sound, and feel like wringed-out roadkill

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

We dont get to know but his jokes are amazing and he smells like baking bread.

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Just like Raiders of the Lost Ark!

LyraV

Holy shit when did the Lords of the Exchange show up? Did I miss that? the fuck are they doing and don't say lording over the exchange.

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Does being on this planet make Dragonard a Wheel idiot?

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

The Dragonards are a long line of wheel idiots in a galaxy that has long forgotten what to call them

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Cos sharp tittied space women love them some Wheel idiot.

gellaho

Bollix the monitors

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

Running lights being a thing in space is such a quaint idea.

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

kinda hate how much time is passing and how little it seems to matter

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

And in the book!

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Time passes slower in the book cage

It's like the hyperbolic time chamber but we're just reading

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

well I guess a 60s fiction writer is used to long periods of faffing about

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

When Gellaho closes the door it becomes a stasis cube so the books are fully outside time.

gellaho

That seems a good a place as any to stop

FancyShark

We partly did it!

LyraV

Pfff I missed the face inside his forehead

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

oh yeah is that supposed to be II as in 2, Second, or is it an i and an l together

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

A FULL WEEK FROM NOW WE STEAL THE STARS

FancyShark

Thank you, @gellaho !

gellaho

So pauses the 93rd Edition of the Book Cage

LyraV

everyone was on point tonight

Thank you @gellaho this was one for the Nard

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

I was right about Arsgrat which means I win book cage forever. You all saw it

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

like the tits of a hot alien thief-girl

FancyShark

Great riffing, everyone!

gellaho

Just a villain who hasn't been around for the last seventy pages

It makes it very hard to judge how long a book is when it's in 8pt font and attached to another book

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

My moment of triumph, immortalized forever

FancyShark

Hell yes on the title, @Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Brendan

By the grace of the gods I'll be through the ring of fire this time next week.

and I will need a summary of tonight.

But first I gotta turn in two Hot Dogs, oy vey.

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

You're gonna do it Brendan, you know why?

Because WOLF DRAGONARD MAKES THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE

FancyShark

Wolf Dragonard was seduced by a hallucination, beat up some fellow cops as a cover story, infiltrated a criminal operation intending to steal the stars, and was horny for a lady other than his dead wife. He also killed or coma'd a psychic that tried to probe his mind using only his mind.

gellaho

The Book Cage: Episode 93.5 - Tonight We Steal the Stars

Wolf Dragonard and his merry band consisting of a lady thief, a junky psychic, and some kind of electric shitbeast, have finally decided to steal the seven magic gems held by the Star King of General Motors. How will they capture the precious fictional gems on the planet Wheel? How is any of this real? Find out, in the exciting conclusion to the Dragonard Saga this Friday, 5pm eastern.

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

FRIDAY NIGHT WE ACTUALLY STEAL THE STARS

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

I can't wait to find out what Dragonard bumblefucks into that makes him weirdly attractive to all the women in a 10 mile radius

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Money? Probably money.

gellaho

Discord wouldn't let me put "shitbeast" in the event

gellaho

Little under an hour until Tonight We Steal the Stars resumes. Here's a reminder of where we left off.

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Dungish Effluvium is the name of my new garage band

FancyShark

Having given a false flight plan, ground control was unable to get the path clear for them and they smeared across the side of a space freighter. The End.

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

GIF

Brendan

Once again, let me pretend I can book party while I very slowly watch Marvel movies for minute details on a 3" wide, watermarked screen set to 5% brightness.

gellaho

Let us resume the process

Rachel, 2-Ded Krew

sup dragonerds

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

TONIGHT WE STEAL THE STARS FOR REAL THIS TIME

Bra Strap Mystery Akentarion

dragon nards?? oh

gellaho

Rehearsals, everyone

Brendan

"I tossed and turned all night thinking of YOU, you...you--MAN!"

FancyShark

It is vital that they be cranky during the heist

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Pffft, "rehearsals". A real heist party would freeball this shit the whole way through.

gellaho

The cupid of stews

FancyShark

Her tone indicated it was near her style, but not it precisely

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Apologizing to any maaaaaan isn't my style 😎

gellaho

PLEASE PAY NO ATTENTION TO MY FAMOUS FAMILY'S SIGNET RING

FancyShark

"No. Got it in a box of Apple Jacks"

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

That's where they teach you all the secrets of Jurisprudentialness, in case you were wondering

Brendan

No son of mine is going to get expelled from Wise Judge School! You'll sell space-grommets without the aid of my name!

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Dragonard: a family name that instantly invokes… lions and phoenixes.

FancyShark

I hate you, Space Dad! I'm gonna run away and join the Space Marshalls!

gellaho

The romance under the shitbeast

Brendan

this guy has Steele dad pheromones

Sex Bologna Flippant Sausage

"Don't get used to this either."

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

"Make out with me, Dragonard! Make out with me in front of the cum creature! It eats Taco Bell shits for fuel!!"

Mordred, Nuclear Werewoof ☢🐺

OMG it's already 5

FancyShark

Hyperventilating Turd is everyone's favorite scifi creature

gellaho

Dragonard is great at this undercover thing

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

His name is Glup Shitto and I'll thank you to remember it

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

people fall in love fast in this book, haven't they only known each other for like 3 whole fucking days

Brendan

This guy's still pining for a woman he had ONE drink with

FancyShark

First book, it only took a drink order

Brendan

until Jenny healed his heart.

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

Time dilation in space means they've been courting for like a month

Brendan

And that is why she must die.

GDC

The 'no damn good' was referring to his use of tongue

Brendan

To love is to be weak

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

also like, he's doing this under a false identity, so he just kinda comes across as a shitbag for stringing her along romantically

Brendan

The life of a Dragonard demands total devotion to destruction of one's enemies.

FancyShark

And bonks on the head

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

TONIGHT WE TONGUE AWKWARDLY

FancyShark

Stop stealing my pickup lines

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

IN II GALAXY, ONLY WOLF DRAGONARD CAN MAKE THE ROMANTIC UNROMANTIC

gellaho

That was an Maximilian. A hundreds year old ancestor

Brendan

Nope, they're all reincarnated.

All one dude.

Same soul.

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

for a guy morning his dead wife he seems to get into romantic trysts awful fast

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

It's like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

gellaho

Complete dimensograms of the congruent dimensions

FancyShark

If Dragonard is revealed to be a Metabaron, this might be the day time collapses

Badger, Gun-Tutting Cardinal

The Metanard!!!

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

"dimensograms" also known as blueprints

or perhaps a map

Rachel, 2-Ded Krew

It would make a lot of sense

Ferrodaywatch NIGHTS

but this is 60s sci-fi land so everything has to have an unwieldy fancy techno name

FancyShark

Nels Brix sounds like the name of someone who would fail

GDC

Nels Brix is a real Glup Shitto of a name

FancyShark

That's your entire eulogy, Nels. Hope you liked it.

Rachel, 2-Ded Krew

The complete opposite of the iconic Tingo Spellhands

Brendan

Our destiny awaits--THERE! On planet Magna Vox!

gellaho

He died drunk driving an experimental race car. There are worse ways to go

FancyShark

For every action, an equal yet opposite reaction

FancyShark

lol, I forgot
