A reminder to get your shingles vaccine shot.

‘This is no novel: it is half-heartedly “novelized” screen story. The blank-faced characters stand up and speak their lines woodenly, without any perceptible motivation; of characterization, explanation, depth of any kind there is none…[the book is] so bad that ordinary epithets will not do. It is incredibly, stupidly, loathsomely bad… The style is pretentious, ignorant and vulgar.’
@Charles: Yes, undoubtedly Jeb Bush fanfic.

@DSWBT – A terrible novel gets an equally terrible cover. That’s the GSS Daily Double!

@B’mancer: I’ve done it! I’ve done it! A ha ha ha!
@Anna: If Titan is also known as Ionus, perhaps Ganymede is known as Planet Bob or something.

By my arithmetic, traveling to Ionus at Mach 1 should take you about 132 years

Awful lot of bird poo on that periscope sight.

‘Karkong’ is such a good villain-name, it’s a shame to waste it on a lousy book. Maybe there’ll be a new Decepticon.
June 28th, 2016 at 3:01 pm
@Tat: he looks like a lump of lava…a Rock Lord instead, maybe?
June 28th, 2016 at 3:19 pm
Maybe Karkong can run against Kang and Kodos in the next election.
June 28th, 2016 at 3:27 pm
Karkong, the monster – is that his official title or is there some need to distinguish this Karkon from that other one who pays his taxes and has never had so much as a parking fine – you know the one – Karkon the Ordinary.

Terror on Planet USAus!
“The odds against destroying Trumpkong the monster were incredible. Low-energy Jeb! failed miserably, as did Little Marco, Lyin’ Ted, Brain Dead Ben and Fat Christie. Only Wonder Woman could save the world now, as the looming deadline of November drew ever closer.”

Glad they changed the title. Mach1 isn’t really that inspiring as a science fiction concept.
June 28th, 2016 at 4:03 pm
@B.Chiclitz – Or “science-fiction” as the Paperback Library styles it (in 1969!).
June 28th, 2016 at 4:14 pm
@Bibliomancer—Thanks. Shouldn’t they then call themselves the Paper-back Library?

@DSWBT: Being shouted out to before I’ve had a chance to say anything about the giant, tiny-headed (and therefore likely somewhat lacking in intelligence) magma man that someone is inexplicably trying to stab with a jet fighter is a new experience.
And no, to my knowledge Ganymede has never been called Planet Bob, especially considering that it’s a moon.
June 28th, 2016 at 5:11 pm
@Anna: pardon the confusion! I had thought it was you who wondered about the abundance of Ganymede in science fiction stories, but it was actually @HappyBookworm. This will teach me to not check my references. 😐

So if Karkong is on the rocket ship and Jeb is giant lava dude I don’t see why the odds are so incredible, looks pretty even to me.
June 28th, 2016 at 7:24 pm
The fight against Karkong proved long and the weapons had been bought for a song.
June 28th, 2016 at 7:39 pm
@AR: and what part of his body do you suppose the rocket burned off? 😉
June 29th, 2016 at 7:46 am
I will not mention the oblong thong of Karkong (he shouldn’ve worn a sarong).

Good show, sir! Well played. 🙂
