Universe Invasion Report

Post by Allan_ecker »

Elements of the Umlaut House universe are slowly creeping into my own reality. As gradual as the process is, it's still powerfully frightening.

Last Valentine's Day:
I have to turn down a guy whose last name belongs to Volair. He was inviting me to see the symphony! And dinner! This was clearly a date. I explained that I already had plans, and wished him luck on finding "that special someone". Afterwards, I realized that I'd let him down v-e-r-y easy, and had not made him confront the awkward knowledge that I knew what his intentions were. I'm glad my instincts on these matters are good.

Beginning of this quarter:
My lab partner's middle name is Sandara. Two vowels off. And he's a wiz with electronics. Go fig.

Now:
My friend in EE is a smallish, wiry guy who wants to study cybernetics so that he can build "robot armies with which to take over major cities". No visible scars on his neck, though, thank god. That, and he claims to be straight.

Oh, that and I very nearly had a large, muscular, attractive guy whose last name starts with "M" become my roommate. (Jake's last name is Miller, this guy's last name is Mitchel. Yipes.)

I'm scared.
:lol:

Heh, I'm not sure. I guess you could call that radio I built Leonard; it sure was a tempermental little thing. I wouldn't quite call it intelligent, but it sure did seem to delight in annoying me.

Yes... but does it do this Image when you perform biological functions with other people in its presence?

Well, it seems like all the evidence points toward an obvious conclusion: you control the universe. I advise writing a strip about all the governments achieving world peace and you personally winning a lottery drawing or two. :)

Well, but in the John Candy movie he was writing for a soap opera.
And Umlaut House doesn't fit into the description of a usual soap opera, does it? :)

Sound great, but don't forget some nice subplots that maybe involve fellow fans of UH? Please? :D

Heck, even just one-shot walk-on cameos would work. In...interesting...situations.
