Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning!

    “Now see here, which one of you stole my arms?”

    I’ve heard of astronauts having to pee in their suits but when it reaches your neck it’s probably time to admit you have an incontinence problem.

  3. Bibliomancer Says:

    Of course they’re rejects. They can’t even mow the lawn on their farm.

  4. fred Says:

    I just see one unusual three headed human.

    “The Mod Squad” … in space!

  6. Ryan Says:

    “The Galaxy hereby rejects you, and sentences you to…Ohio!”

  7. Bruce A Munro Says:

    “You three are the most incompetent new trainees I’ve ever met! Only Bob remembered his helmet – but then he hooked up a tank of swamp gas rather than oxygen!”

  8. Adzel Says:

    Alternate blurb: The young, lowly space farmers were not just good at their job…they were outstanding in their field!

  9. Raoul Says:

    If it’s written by Offutt, they’re having a three-way.

  10. B. Chiclitz Says:

    ‘Hey, pass that helmet over here. My bladder’s killing me!”

  11. Bruce A Munro Says:

    “Why are we training in the weeds, sir?”

    “So we can take cover quickly in case of an attack, of course! Now pay attention, dammit – I didn’t lose both my arms, twelve feet of intestinal tract, and the ability to make believable facial expressions in this war just to babysit a bunch of galactic rejects!”

    (Cue theme music)

    It’s a bit unfair to write them off as rejects when they are so desperately short of equipment. Three people sharing one spacesuit is impractical enough, but with a helmet only big enough for two of them it’s completely unfit for purpose.

    Time for a GSS fundraiser for impoverished space cadets?

  13. THX 1139 Says:

    @Verylate: Is this a platoon or a knitting circle?!

  14. GSS ex-noob Says:

    How ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm when one of them suffocates because he won’t take his bubble helmet off on a planet with perfectly good atmosphere?

    @Tor: Helmet would have to be bigger for The Mod Squad guy’s Afro.

    @Adzel: GSS!

  15. Anti-Sceptic Says:

    They may have been rejects, but they sure knew how to make a good scarecrow.

  16. A.R.Yngve Says:

    Ah, the backward planet known as Minnesota.
