The Real Super Star


Thor: By the Halls of Asgard, I believe we've got the wrong sandwich.
Iron Dalek: How so? It's the Western Bacon Cheeseburger, Master's favorite.
Thor: By Odin's Beard! I thought it was for us! We're Superheroes, after all.
Iron Dalek: You think he should have bought us the Super Star hamburger?
Thor: By Lady Thor's mask, I think Daleks as special as us deserve our own sandwich. Don't you?
Iron Dalek: Forget about what you don't have, and celebrate what you do. Here, have one of these french fries. I think you'll find them sufficiently super.
Thor: By Loki's treacherous tongue, you're right! Forget the burgers. The real star of Carl's Jr. are these incredible fries! I'm going to exterminate, Exterminate, EXTERMINATE THE FRIES!!!

Super-Extraordinary


Denim: There's just something about a scoop of ice cream that makes the ordinary extraordinary. 
Pocket: Or the extraordinary super-extraordinary.
Denim: Or the super-extraordinary--
Pocket: Cadet?
Denim: Yes sir?
Pocket: Less talking, more eating.
Denim: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir!

Doubling Your Fear Factor


Pocket: You sure get wrapped up in your unwrapping, Cadet.
Denim: Just trying to preserve myself for future generations, sir. Plus, mummys elicit fear, the same as Daleks. What's wrong with doubling my fear factor?
Pocket: Way to think outside the box, Cadet.
Denim: I have to, now that we've unwrapped it.

Looking For Nemo & Dory


Denim: Wee-ooo! Weeeeee-oooooooo!
Pocket: What are you doing, Cadet?
Denim: Isn't it obvious, sir? I'm speaking whale.
Pocket: That's not how you find Dory or Nemo.
Denim: It isn't?
Pocket: Everyone know, to find your fish friends, you must visit a dentist is Australia.
Denim: Sounds good to me.
Pocket: Really? Most people don't enjoy visiting the dentist.
Denim: Most people aren't Daleks. If they cause me pain, or present large bills, I can just exterminate, Exterminate, EXTERMINATE THEM!!!
Pocket: Sounds good to me.

Introspective About Melville


Denim: Ah, the romance of the sea.
Pocket: I was wondering what Aqua Blue Funfetti frosting would look like.
Denim: Doesn't it remind you of Herman Melville's novels, sir?
Pocket: How? His characters in Typee and Omoo fled their whaling vessels, partly because of poor food onboard.
Denim: But once they recuperated on shore, they always returned to the sea, didn't they?
Pocket: Cadet, can't we just sit here, and admire this cake, without getting all introspective about Melville?
Denim: Yes, sir. Sorry sir.

Spectacular Violence


Blue: I can't wait for Master to wake up.
Red: I can't wait for him to see his bag.
Pocket: Whatever's inside, he's got to love it!
Rusty: With Star Wars and Daleks, whatever it is must be spectacularly violent.
Gray: I knew there was a reason we stationed him in the back.

Tight Dome Syndrome


Artist: So, what do you think?
Blue: Oh, um...Master will love it.
Artist: I'm was just worried, you see.
Blue: How so?
Artist: Well, I heard this year's cake would be blue, and--
Blue: Blue? I'm honored!
Artist: No, I mean, if I'd colored the cake blue...
Blue: Yes, I completely understand. I'm so wonderful, that you don't want to risk increasing my inner cranial pressure.
Artist: Tight Dome Syndrome can be painful.
Blue: Yes, and no one wants a swollen head. Not even a Dalek. It's ever so unbecoming.

An Alien Flower IV


Denim: I never suspected the flowers would be so orange.
Pocket: Neither did I, but it is harvest time for citrus fruits.
Denim: Are you suggesting a genetic link, sir?
Pocket: No, Cadet. But if you were afraid of getting picked, you'd try to blend in too.
Autumn: Sirs, may I join you under this beautiful, living canopy?
Pocket: Provided you stay well away from the flowers.
Autumn: Why? Are they dangerous?
Pocket: You've seen that movie "Little Shop of Horrors," haven't you?
Autumn: No, sir. It sounds too scary for a young Dalek like me.
Pocket: Well, let me put it like this. If you were a plant that derived nourishment by consuming Daleks, what better way to disguise the fact than by camouflaging yourself to blend in with the season?
Autumn: Ah. On second thought, perhaps I'll stay down here.

Carrots, Seaweed & Smarties


Denim: Sir, I've been reading the back of this Smarties packet. Did you realize they make the purple ones from black carrots? 
Pocket: Purple Smarties do not taste like purple carrots, cadet.
Denim: No sir, that's where they derive the dye from. In fact, all the colors in Smarties come from natural sources. Take radishes, for example.
Pocket: I'd rather not. I'm not big on radishes.
Denim: No sir, but you must admit they've got a pretty red color. The yellow Smarties get their color from lemons. 
Pocket: That makes sense. But how do they make the Blue Smarties? You don't see a lot of blue fruits and vegetables in the supermarket.
Denim: Are you sure you want to know, sir?
Pocket: As Master & Mistress love Smarties, I suppose I ought to be informed.
Denim: They get the blue food coloring from seaweed. 
Pocket: Seaweed?
Denim: Yes sir. It's a particular variety of seaweed called--
Pocket: Never mind the details, cadet. Come on, let's go. I've got an idea for dinner.
Denim: What's that, sir?
Pocket: Sushi. It's supposed to be good for you, and it comes wrapped in seaweed.
Denim: Great! I've always wanted to try a California Roll.
Pocket: If you want to stay here and practice your tumbling, I can go out by myself.
Denim: Uh, no sir. Never mind, sir.

Beware Those Brown Suits!


Rusty: I guess the moral of the story is to avoid people dressed in brown?
Gray: When people wear earth tones to put you at your ease, you know they're up to no good.
Rusty So, on the other hand--
Gray: Grasping appendage.
Rusty: Grasping appendage, right. So when people wear rusty red or gray--
Gray: You know you can trust them implicitly.

The Perilous Space Station


Denim: Is it just me, or are people always getting injured or killed on Babylon 5?
Pocket: Well, it is a five-mile-long space station.
Denim: How is that relevant, sir?
Pocket: Well, experts tell us that most accidents happen within five miles of your house, Cadet.

Always Prepared


Pocket: There. Doesn't that look better!
Denim: Absolutely. Hawaiian Pizza is the best solution to excess ham.
Pocket: A very astute deduction, Cadet. Are you ready to serve it up?
Denim: Uh, shouldn't we slice it up first, sir?
Pocket: Only if we're sharing it with others.
Denim: Oh, right. In that case, I hope you brought a big plate, sir.
Pocket: Of course I did, Cadet. A wise Dalek is always prepared for the best solution.

Lifeless Ham Like A Cyberman


Pocket: Question: What do you get when you mix together ham, pineapple, tomato sauce--
Denim: Pizza?
Pocket: Right, Cadet. Boy, are you quick!
Denim: But we can't serve this. The pizza is all cold and lifeless.
Pocket: You mean, like a Cyberman?
Denim: Exactly!
Pocket: Well, we'd better cook it then, so it will be fit to be exterminated, Exterminated, EXTERMINATED!

On Fear & Beauty


Pocket: It's a shame Humans can't see our faces. Then they'd know how beautiful we truly are.
Denim: But then they might not fear us, sir.
Pocket: Oh, why must our beauty be such a curse?

An Alien Flower III

Pocket: In position?
Denim: Check.
Pocket: Safety straps secure?
Denim: Sir, are you sure this is a Vorlon spaceship?



Pocket: It's definitely based on organic technology.
Denim: But that doesn't mean--
Pocket: Cadet, when that flower opens, and catches the light, I want to be ready for blastoff. Now, are your safety straps secure?
Denim: Yes, sir.

Wild Carrots


Pocket: I thought I sent you out for carrots?
Denim: You did sir. These are wild carrots.
Pocket: So what's with all the crazy colors?
Denim: Actually, these are the original carrot colors. It's only in recent centuries that we've gotten used to seeing only orange carrots.
Pocket: We can't serve these. Scrape the colors off.



Denim: You see, sir? These are the real colors.
Pocket: I can't imagine what Master & Mistress will say.
Denim: Given their love for travel, I'm sure they'll be interested to know that wild carrots like these originated in Afghanistan, and are still popular in India. For example, did you know--
Pocket: I didn't ask for a history lesson. If this is all we've got, we'd better start chopping.



Pocket: It's a shame it's not autumn. I could present these as harvest carrots.
Denim: Like I was going to say, the purple carrots are high in anthocyanins.
Pocket: Cyanides? What's wrong with you? We don't want to kill Master & Mistress!
Denim: Anthocyanins aren't deadly, sir. Rather, they're high in antioxidants. They protect the internal organs, lower the risk of developing high blood pressure, and are good anti-inflammatory agents. They'll help protect Master & Mistress against cancer and diabetes, as well as cardiovascular and neurological disorders. 



Pocket: Well, I suppose if they're fit for Human consumption, we can serve them. Here, I'd better sample them first.
Denim: Be careful, sir. Remember: tthey're wild.
Pocket: Yeah, I caught the Afghanistan reference. Don't worry, cadet. We're Daleks. We can take on any potential danger. That includes Cybermen, Zygons, and wild carrots.

An Abundance in Pressure


Blue: Whoa! Why's it tipping over like that?
Red: Somehow, the can must have developed an increase in pressure.
Blue: We can't serve it to Master this way. It might roll off its base and spill everywhere.
Red: Why don't we pour the soda into a glass?
Blue: Are you out of your mind? Then we'd have to wash another glass!
Red: You're right. That's hardly ideal. Think brain: there must be a solution! 


Blue: How about serving it this way? 
Red: Perfect. The mug will keep the soda upright, and we won't have to wash another glass.
Blue: Plus, the mug will remind Master what great helpers he has.
Red: As if he could ever forget that.

The Planet Awakens


Denim: So what did you think of Artemis Awakening, sir?
Pocket: I found the idea of a sentient world intriguing.
Denim: If the Earth woke up tomorrow, I wonder what it would say? Would it ask the Humans what they're doing about Global Warming, or why they've developed weapons of mass destruction? 
Pocket: After sleeping for billions of years, it'd probably just ask for a big cup of coffee.

The I-Told-You-So Dalek


Pocket: Alert! Intake supply limited! Nutrient processing overloaded! Alert! Alert!
Denim: See! I warned you to slow down on those flour chips.
Pocket: Nobody likes an I-Told-You-So, cadet. Particularly not at a great Mexican restaurant like Cabreras.

Appreciating A New Flour


Denim: I love the corn chips, but I'm also enjoying these new flour chips.
Pocket: Yes, it always pays to try new things, cadet.
Denim: I'm glad you suggested we order them, sir.
Pocket: I'm not so sure I should have. They're so good, we may exterminate, Exterminate, EXTERMINATE them before our main course arrives.

Monday, January 11, 2016

Anticipation And Appetizers


Denim: I guess we should open the menu, and decide what to order.
Pocket: Give it a minute. Anticipation enhances the appetite.
Denim: It also gives us more time to enjoy our chips.
Pocket: That too.

An Alien Flower II


Denim: It's amazing how fast this Amaryllis is growing.
Pocket: At least it no longer looks like an alien from "Prometheus."
Denim: Agreed. Chlorophyll is a wonderful thing.

The Pie Epiphany


Pocket: Another leftover holiday pie. How can we make it special to further help ring in the New Year?
Denim: Sir, I have a few ideas that might enhance its appeal.
Pocket: All right. Go ahead.




Denim: So what do you think of my presentation, sir?
Pocket: Cadet, you're an artist.
Denim: Yes, but what do you think of my idea? Was it inspired?
Pocket: What can I say? You had a real epiphany!

The Hobbit Conundrum


Rex: So what did you think of the Extended Edition of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."
Gray: I thought the movie adaptation flowed better with the additional scenes.
Rex: As a Strategy Dalek, I found the commentary interesting. The filmmakers constantly spoke about how much they enjoyed each single aspect of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel. Then they explained why they felt compelled to change nearly every single aspect of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel.
Gray: Yes, it's truly magical how many people love J.R.R. Tolkien's novel. But then, the process of making movies is an entirely different form of magic.

The Ravages of Time


Denim: Whoever the family in the photograph are, they are certainly scaring away the birds.
Pocket: Yes, they seem familiar. Perhaps if I search through my databanks, I can discover a clue to their identities.

The Domination of Time


Denim: I understand the Vulcans are a very hand-orientated species.
Pocket: Yes, but this clock was built by a Human, not Mr Spock.
Denim: So what could it signify? The importance of frequent hand washing? How the march of time dominates our days? How--
Pocket: No outside force dominates a Dalek's days. We are the masters of our destinies! Never forget that, cadet.
Denim: Yes sir. Understood, sir.

Tuesday, January 5, 2016

The Spoon Dilemma


Pocket: I wish Master would make a spoon rest for us.
Denim: But then people wouldn't know whether to admire us or the spoons.
Pocket: You're right. Spoon appreciation should never come before Dalek Admiration.

The Vicious Circle



PocketI could never relax on this wreath. 
Why, I'd be on pins and needles the entire time!

Sunday, January 3, 2016

An Alien Flower


Denim: What's this flower called again?
Pocket: It's called an Amaryllis.
Denim: It was all crumpled into a ball when we planted it last night.
Pocket: Like a Dalek, it responds well to a home environment.
Denim: It still reminds me of the alien creatures in "Prometheus."
Pocket: Let's hope it doesn't develop into a face-hugger then.
Denim: Alert! Face-Hugger Transformation Imminent! Alert! ALERT!
Pocket: Relax, cadet. I was just saying it's a possibility, that's all.
Denim: I shall remain vigilant then, sir.
Pocket: Most commendable, cadet. You never want an alien to unexpectedly hug your face.
Denim: Or your dome.
Pocket: Quite.

On Bon Jovi & Arson


Pocket: I can't wait 'til Master opens his new album. I want to hear some good ole rock'n roll!
Denim: I'm still not sure we should have bought it, sir. I mean, the title, Burning Bridges? It sounds socially irresponsible.
Pocket: I have it on the best authority that no bridges were purposely incinerated during the recording sessions. 
Denim: So you're saying that any fires that erupted were accidents?
Pocket: Of course, cadet. Bon Jovi simply couldn't help it. Hey, when you're hot, you're hot.

Exterminating the Mashed Potatoes


Pocket: Ham, stuffing, vegetables... What more could one desire to celebrate a new year?
Denim: How about mashed potatoes and gravy, sir?
Pocket: Bring 'em on, Cadet. I can exterminate, Exterminate, EXTERMINATE 'em!
Denim: Could we please hurry, sir? We're missing the Rose Parade.
Pocket: Sorry. Come on, we'll get back to the floats.
Denim: And don't forget the marching bands.
Pocket: Personally, I like all those horses. And the Human females dancing in their pretty ethnic attire. And--
Denim: Sir!?!
Pocket: Sorry. Just getting carried away by all this good food, I guess.
