Hulk Like Fiery Furnace


Hulk: Now that's a lot of Hoodoos. 
But why they call it Fiery Furnace?
They want a fiery furnace, they should feel my Extermination Beam.
Yeah, Hulk is mightiest Fiery Furnace of them all!

Hulk can build his own Balancing Rock!! 
Hulk can do anything!!!

Hulk Not Smash


Hulk: What you mean, Hulk allowed no further? 
Hulk can be careful! 
Hulk not destroy Balancing Rock!!
Hulk could juggle Balance Rock if he wished!!!
Okay, okay. Hulk go no further.

A Safety Tip


Hulk: Here's a Safety Tip for you.
When hiking through slot canyons, always carry a canoe with you.
You know, in case it rains, and you need to ride out the flood.

Oh, you might want to bring along a few oars too. Just in case.

Barking Like Crazy


Hulk: I've heard of Crazy Paving, but Crazy Tree Bark? 
That's crazy! Or I should I say, that's, um...barking?
Yeah, sorry, I'm definitely barking up the wrong tree with that one.
I mean, pun.

Fantasy Creature Alert


Pocket: Alert! Alert! Fantasy Creature Alert!
Denim: Sir, what is a fantasy creature alert?
Pocket: I suspect these rocks could be mythical goblins, brought to life by some strange science not recorded in the Dalek databanks.
Denim: Sensors detect no life signs, sir.
Pocket: Sensors may be wrong. Look, they're all around us now. They must move when we're not observing them. Remain on Alert!
Denim: Rocks can't move, sir. Don't be scared.
Pocket: Scared? Scared? I'm not scared, cadet. It's impossible for a Dalek to be frightened. Now, if I was a hobbit, or a dwarf, then I might be scared. But I'm a Dalek, so I'm not scared! Nonetheless, I remain on Alert!! And so will you, cadet, if you do not wish to be exterminated, Exterminated, EXTERMINATED!!!
Denim: Yes, sir.

The Long And Winding Road


Denim: Oh no, not another twist in the road!
Pocket: Hold it together, cadet.
Denim: I can't! I'm gonna be sick, sir.
Pocket: Daleks do not get sick, cadet! Daleks Exterminate sickness, do you understand me!

It's Lonely On Vulcan


Pocket: C'mon on, Mr. Spock! Come out and play! 
Please? I promise I won't exterminate, Exterminate, EXTERMINATE YOU!

Gosh. There's not a Vulcan in sight.
It's like I'm all alone out here.

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the extermination, Extermination, EXTERMINATION bit.

Roughing It


Denim: Well, this is a little disappointing.
Pocket: I was sure they would have cake and ice cream at the ranger station.
Denim: I'll bet, if we were in England, we'd be sitting in a warm cafe, sipping hot tea, and eating cake  or something else really tasty.
Pocket: Well, yes, of course. But then, England is a civilized country.

Speaking Literally


Denim: So what is it, sir?
Pocket: That's easy. It's a dab of whipped butter on a slice of french toast.
Denim: Wrong.
Pocket: Excuse me, Cadet?
Denim: Sorry sir, but that's an incorrect answer.
Pocket: Okay. It's a scoop of ice cream on a piece of cake.
Denim: Wrong again, sir.
Pocket: It's a caster on an upside-down platform.
Denim: Sorry sir, still wrong.
Pocket: Well, what do you think it is, Cadet?
Denim: It's a Hoodoo. It's a geological feature caused by--
Pocket: I thought we were speaking figuratively.
Denim: No sir. Literally.
Pocket: Speaking literally, there is such a thing as Caster Oil. It's an old-fashioned remedy used to treat a variety of ailments. 
Denim: Oh that's...Now that you mention it sir, it does look like cake and ice cream.
Pocket: Now that's a time-tested remedy that can cure any ill.
Denim: Shall we procure some when we finish this hike?
Pocket: Tell you what. If they have it at the Ranger Station, I'll let you buy us some. And yes, I mean that literally.
Denim: Uh, thank you. Thank you, sir.

Exterminate All Robots


Denim: Alert! Alert! Dalek Databanks identify remote geological features as hoodoos, but they resemble deadly robots! Whatever forces carved them in stone may still be nearby! Beware of robots when entering Red Canyon National Monument! Follow safety protocols while hiking and taking photographs!! Maintain constant vigilance, and Exterminate All Robots!!!

A Dangerous Amphitheater


Denim: Analysis: The stunning beauty of this natural amphitheater overloads my optical sensors. At 10,000 feet above sea level, my biological components feel weakened by dizziness, and experience more trouble with respiratory functions. Conclusion: Cedar Breaks National Monument should be avoided by all Daleks. Avoid! AVOID!! AVOID!!!

The Daleks Pick Up A Slight Flutter


Denim: Sir, why must I keep my eyes on the road?
Pocket: Do not question my orders, Cadet!
Denim: But sir, my systems are picking up a slight flutter.
Pocket: Ignore the readings. The sensation will pass.
Denim: But sir, I feel an unexplained desire to invest money on scenarios that could reap great potential rewards.
Pocket: Daleks do not give into our feelings! Keep your eyes on the road, Cadet!
Denim: Yes...sir.

One Awesome Blast


Denim: Why do you think Master & Mistress like Pizza Rolls better than actual pizza?
Pocket: Probably because, like Daleks, their self-contained. They hold in all their uniqueness, and then release it in one awesome blast.
Denim: Death to Pizza! Long live Pizza Rolls!!!
Pocket: Okay, that might be going a little far.

Fractional Negotiations


Pocket: What better way to cap off an outing than with a sundae on a sundae?
Denim: Agreed, sir. Do you mind if I take the cherry?
Pocket: What? You want to take the cherry that caps off our sundae-on-a-sundae?
Denim: I'll let you have half-of-my-half of the whipped cream.
Pocket: Let me get this straight. You propose to give me half-of-your-half--
Denim: Just say yes, sir, please?
Pocket: As long as I also get an additional spoonful of hot fudge.
Denim: You drive a hard bargain, sir.
Pocket: I'm a Dalek. What do you expect?

Saturday, August 13, 2016

A Zest For Z


Denim: Oh please, sir, can't we take him home with us?
Pocket: Absolutely not, Cadet. Remember what happened with the pig that hogged our blog?
Denim: But he's so cute!
Pocket: Agreed. Cuteness is the root of all evil. Better we exterminate him now, or take him back to the zoo, than--
Denim: Zap Zebs? Return him to the zoo? Zooks and Zounds, sir; I'm zonked!

Measuring Bravery


Denim: Sir, are you sure you want to ride this ride? It doesn't look like we're tall enough?
Pocket: Sure we are, Cadet. Look at the picture. We're bigger than the people in the picture, aren't we?

Risky Business


Denim: You want us to go on that?
Pocket: How better to recover my Dalek Mojo?
Denim: Sir, are you sure taking such an insane risk is justified?
Pocket: How else can one be an adventurer?

Recapturing Your Mojo


Denim: If this doesn't raise your spirits, sir, nothing will.
Pocket: I feel so bad about giving Roly Poly Pig her eviction orders.
Denim: It had to be done, sir.
Pocket: I know, but still I worry. Was I cruel? Should I have been more sensitive to her feelings?
Denim: Well, we are Daleks, sir.
Pocket: You're right, Cadet. It's time we reclaimed our callous natures.

The Problem With Becoming Too Popular


Rocket: Release the blog, Squeely-kins, or I'll murderize you!
Denim: Do you think this will work, sir?
Pocket: I don't know, Cadet. I didn't mind her occasional guest post, but once she started hogging the blog, I had to take radical action.

The Yeti & Independence Day


Red: I like this much better.
Blue: I don't know. The omelet slices now remind me of a snowman.
Red: Or a Yeti.
Blue: How do they remind you of a Yeti?
Red: Well, do you remember how the Great Intelligence controlled the Yeti with shiny spheres secreted inside their furry bodies?
Blue: Of course. But that brings up another point. Our omelets aren't furry.
Red: They would be if I bought Master a cat. 
Blue: Well, Independence Day is coming up.
Red: Yeah, I'm really looking forward to the sequel.
Blue: That's not what I meant.
Red: You mean, you don't want to go with me?
Blue: No, that's not what I... Of course I'll go with you. I'll even pay for the popcorn.
Red: Great! I'll go purchase the movie tickets, then buy Master a cat!
Blue: Uh, wait. Hold on. I'm not sure that's such a good idea! Wait up, Red!! Let's talk about this!!!

Friends With Benefits


Blue: Well, we did it! We cooked our egg a new way, and we got it out of the pot with only a few minor singes. 
Red: I'm still not sure about the shape of the egg. And we haven't left much room for cutting it into bite-size portions.
Blue: That's why I brought you along. I can always depend upon you for a second opinion.
Red: But you don't always agree with my opinion.
Blue: That's the great thing about friends. You don't have to take their advice, but it's always nice that it's available. 

Friday, June 24, 2016

A New Challenge


Red: I'm used to thinking of omelets as flat, two-dimensional objects. I'm not sure my circuits can handle the notion of a three-dimensional omelet.
Blue: It's like we've created a different kind of egg.
Red: Now how are we going to get a spatula inside to lift out today's half?
Blue: That's not the difficult part.
Red: How so?
Blue: The next challenge will be how to carefully roll the egg pot onto its side, and slide out today's portion, without burning ourselves on the hot sides of the container.
Red: Perhaps, if we use a hot pad?
Blue: You see, you never know what ingenious solution you will discover, until you try!

On Appearances And Appeal


Blue: Peas, really? Out of all the possible vegetables, you picked peas?
Red: What's wrong with peas?
Blue: What's wrong with peas? It's only that we've already got cilantro: we don't need another green ingredient! You could have chosen orange carrots, or yellow squash, or white cauliflower--
Red: Or red tomatoes?
Blue: Exactly! That would have created interest, increased its appeal, and sent its mouth-watering, gotta-have-it factor through the roof!! Instead, you gave me something that added nothing to its visual attraction!!!
Red: But I like peas. They're my favorite vegetable.
Blue: They're your favorite vegetable? What has that to do with it? We're attempting to create a new dimension in omelets here, and you dare to talk about your favorite... Actually, they're my favorite vegetable too. Well done, Red. Good choice.
Red: Well, I'm glad we've decided that!

Tuesday, June 21, 2016

The Challenge


Red: Okay, I've finished cutting the ham. I think we're ready to go.
Blue: Let's see: onion, cilantro, ham, and most essentially, eggs.
Red: Or prepackaged egg-white product.
Blue: Same difference. I guess we're ready to...wait, you forgot the vegetables!
Red: A real Dalek doesn't eat vegetables.
Blue: We can debate the appropriate levels of cholesterol in a Dalek's digestive organs later! We're attempting to prove we can build a better omelet than Pocket and Denim can with a skillet!! How can we possibly accomplish that if you've left out a crucial ingredient!!!
Red: Okay, okay, I get us some veges. Keep your yarn on.

Monday, June 20, 2016

Invention Or Fad?


Denim: What's in the box, sir?
Pocket: A present Blue bought Master for Father's Day.
Denim: Why would he waste his hard won money on that? Everyone knows the best way to cook an omelet is in a skillet?
Pocket: Eggs-actly, Cadet. This will never catch on!

A New Battle Cry


Pocket: Geronimo! Ger-On-I-Mo!! GER-ON-I-MO!!!
Denim: What are you doing, sir?
Pocket: I'm trying out a new battle cry, Cadet. 
Denim: Why, sir? What's wrong with EXTERMINATE?
Pocket: Nothing. I'm just changing things up. A true leader should never get complacent.
Denim: Yes, sir. But, sir, why "Geronimo?"
Pocket: It's this flower. It's vibrant beauty calls out and demands your attention. 
Denim: Uh...Um...
Pocket: Yes, Cadet?
Denim: Sir, I don't know how to tell you this, but the flower's name is Geranium, not Geronimo.
Pocket: Well that's hardly helpful, Cadet. I can hardly go around yelling Geranium, can I?
Denim: Oh, I don't know. After all...
Pocket: Yes?
Denim: GERANIUM! GER-AN-IUM!! HALT, OR YOU WILL BE GERANIUMED!!!
Pocket: Hm. Keep working on it, Cadet. You never know. It might catch on.

Noah benShea on Importance


Pocket: What's the quote on the back of your sugar packet, Cadet?
Denim: "Of all the things you can make in life, remember you make a difference."
Pocket: I must say, I find these Sugar For The Soul packets uplifting.
Denim: As uplifting as tea and cookies, Sir?
Pocket: Well...enough introspection, Cadet! Say, are you going to pour that tea, or shall I enlist the Cybermen's help?
Denim: No sir! I'll gladly make a difference today by sharing tea with you!
Pocket: Agreed. Daleks exterminate tea together! 
Daleks Exterminate Tea Together! 
DALEKS EXTERMINATE TEA TOGETHER!!!

Noah benShea on Family


Denim: What's the quote on your sugar packet, sir?
Pocket: It reads, "Family is a way of holding hands with forever."
Denim: But we don't have hands. Would touching suction appendages count?
Pocket: I don't see why not, Cadet.

Under The Influence


Denim: Sir?
Pocket: Yes, Cadet?
Denim: Hanging up here like this, aren't we in danger of transforming into monkeys?
Pocket: In proximity to this fruit, I'm more worried of taking on the characteristics of Minions.
Denim: Oh sir, you had to say it. I couldn't place it before, but now, I definitely feel the call!
Pocket: Repress it, Cadet. Repress it!
Denim: I can't hold it in, sir!
Pocket: I'm ordering you, Cadet! Once you start--
Denim: Banana. Ba-na-na! BA-NA-NA!
Pocket: EXTERMINATE BANANAS! 
EXTERMINATE BANANAS!! 
EXTERMINATE ALL BANANAS!!!

Sunday, June 12, 2016

Vanishing Pancakes


Pocket: You were right, Cadet. Those pancakes sure disappeared fast. We were fortunate to save this one for our own enjoyment.
Denim: There's a reason they're called hotcakes, sir.

Saturday, June 11, 2016

Christmas in June


Pocket: Cadet, you made so many pancakes you had to break out the holiday plates?
Denim: Master and Mistress will think Christmas came early this year.
Pocket: If this doesn't keep their spirits bright, nothing will.
Denim: Ho Ho Ho, sir!


Tuesday, June 7, 2016

Bananarama


Denim: Alert! Alert!! Deploy defensive measures!!!
Pocket: What's the matter, Cadet?
Denim: We're surrounded by an onslaught of bananas!
Pocket: Yeah, Humans rarely consider such dangers, when they plant a banana tree.

How Many Words Is A Picture Worth?


Pocket: Okay, commence the test.
Denim: Aesthetic. Alluring. Amazing. Angelic. 
Pocket: Great start. Keep on going.
Denim: Appealing. Ah...Astonishing. Astounding. Attractive. Awesome.  
Pocket: Doing well so far.
Denim: Beautiful. Bewitch--
Pocket: Halt! Stick with the A's for now.
Denim: But sir, I've run out!
Pocket: I want at least thirty more beginning with the letter A before we move on to B.
Denim: Sir, are you sure a picture is literally worth 1,000 words?
Pocket: That's what we're attempting to ascertain. Continue, Cadet.
Denim: Alright-e-o, sir.
Pocket: Excuse me?
Denim: I mean, absolutely sir.
Pocket: Now you're just being flippant...

The Ravenous Ravager


Pocket: So, are you glad you saved that extra slice for later, Cadet?
Denim: I'm so hungry now, I'll probably ingest it so quickly I won't appreciate the flavor.
Pocket: You mean you're hungry like a wolf?
Denim: Sir, I'm so ravenous, my roundels are sprouting lupine hair!

Saturday, May 28, 2016

Forlorn Food


Denim: That extra slice is calling out to me, sir.
Pocket: If you eat it now, you won't be able to enjoy it later, Cadet.
Denim: But it seems so forlorn!
