Rant: Carbs and Star Trek Toys
Barry: Come on! You can walk off all of that on the way there!
Rod: But I got the last of their toys!
Barry: There’s another Burger King across town. We can get the rest of the toys there!
Rod: I forgot to tell you about the Star Trek glasses.
Barry: See, another reason to get over there!
<A little while later, the boys are sitting in Burger King, chowing down and checking their collections.>
Rod: I don’t think I can eat all of these meals.
Barry: You have to. We got all the toys and a set of the glasses for free as part of the deal.
Rod: I know, but I’m getting ill……too many carbs!
Barry: Come on, you can do it!
<Suddenly, a familiar beaming sounds erupts and three ominous figures stand by the boys>
Barry: What are these things?
Rod: They’re Kingons! Grab the glasses and run or they’ll steal them!
Barry: They’ll steal them?
Rod: Barry, haven’t you been watching those educational short films during Medium? The Kingons are stealing Star Trek glasses from people!
Barry: Those are commercials, Rod.
Rod: Whatever they are called, it shows these three stealing glasses from humans.
Barry: Why would they do that when the company is selling the glasses?
Rod: Maybe as an excuse for when they run out of them?
Barry: Possibly.
Rod: Look out, here they come!
Barry: Oh no you don’t! <Barry presses a button strapped to his wrist and the Kingons are frozen with a strange glow around them.>
Rod: SHE told you never to use that in public!
Barry: SHE isn’t here and I had to do something!
<Supreme Overlord’s voice is heard from the wristband.> What did I tell you about using this without permission???
Barry: It was self defense, oh great one.
Supreme Overlord: We’ll discuss that back at the house. By the way boys, before you go back……
Rod: Yes oh merciful one?
Supreme Overlord: Get me a set of glasses and toys.
