Funship Terror Stuff

Well Well Well my good friends. Life is not always as it seems. At least... Not on the Funship Bugscape. (Work with me here... Middle Eastern - American accent. Drama. Suspense. You name it. That's the mood...)

Habib Syed Asif Sandeep Ashok Chaitanya Ramaram has sneakted aboard the Funship Bugscape. A shify-shify agile agent of destruction from way-way out there where we shouldn't go, he is...
(Interesting enough, his name is composed from 5 of my good co-workers... Syed directs the system integration team. I call him Elvis. He calls me Tom Cruise. Asif is one of my configuration managers who at one point in his life exclaimed: "Honestly officer! I was just helping the goat over the fence! Unhand me!" Sandeep is a development director in charge of Clinical Services and Case Management. Ashok is a VP of Enterprise Process. Chaitanya Ramaram is my Senior Integration Engineer. He is in love with Miley Cirus and has been tortured endlessly for it... Now, I can't type that name every time I reference the bug. So, in Vicki's honour, we shall call him... The Great Habib!)


Unknownst to him, nobody is more agile than the extra shify-shifty-shifty boarding photo-graphers who were imported from the poor village of pego-pego Africa and were paid a whopping $1.25/hour for their services which landed the Funship $50.00 per useless 8x10 and 4x5 picture set... Muwahahaha!


Nevertheless. The photo-graphers did not know that The Great Habib had sneakted on board. So, DESTRUCTION had ensue-ed. With his sandy crusty clampy legs and buggy buggy eyes, The Great Habib had pushted over the once-majestic smokestack... Oh no!


THEN! The Great Habib had run-ed down to Hagrid's (I mean, The Bug's) lavish stateroom and KILLDED him DEAD!


AND THEN! In his shify-shify ways, The Great Habib shifty-shifted his way off the Funship Bugscape before it left port...


And nobody had a shify or non-shifty clue...

The End

Okay... Just Kidding. But, the story was a lot better than saying that Hagrid (I mean, The Bug) changed wardrobe overnight, went dancing on the promenade deck, went to bed, and in the morning changed back into his stinky old shell and continued to burrow under the Funship Bugscape. Right?


This story was inspired by the PS3 game "Assassin's Creed" which is a totally awesome game with 1080i graphics, smooth transitions, and a shifty-shifty story line that actually teaches players about morals and trust in your fellow man.
This story is dedicated to my lovely wife Victoria and her wonderfully imagined, fictional, character "The Great Habib"...

Back To Work Stuff

Okay... It's 10:40pm EST... The Oliva Serie G has been burned out for at least 30 minutes, my drink is dried up, Vicki has gone to bed, the cats are asleep, and I have about 80 minutes to complete my status report.

I guess it's time to quit the blogitty-blog stuff for today. Cheers!

Don't forget to brush your teeth and say your prayers...

Bugscape In All Its Glory Stuff

Naturally, the funship photographers know how to exploit their patrons. This lovely picture was taken from the docks as Hagrid, I mean "The Bug" was boarding. Later during the cruise, "The Bug" had to wait in line for 3 hours and pay $50.00 for 1 8x10 and 4 5x7's that he didn't need. Oh well... Perhaps he can send some to his friends in Florida...
