SMEG-tember 2016

•

Welcome to SMEG-tember... What's the big news this month -- Donald and Hillary? Neehh, they both still suck eggs! Wildfires in California? Flooding in Louisiana? Corn Blight in Iowa? Illegal Immigrants still illegally immigrating? ...Not really -- That's all old schtick...

But wait -- the Big News for this SMEG-tember is the return of those layabout interstellar slackers, the crew of the Red Dwarf in Series XI!! It seems that the first episode will be airing on the 22nd for residents of former EU member, Britain (Cue Gramophone: "Britannia Rules the Waves" followed by Farting SFX). However, when the rest of us may see Series XI is anyone's guess (Bummer!)... That aside, our Calendar for this month features those two frolicking green Space Bunnies, Io and Callisto, tuning in on the broadcast - or attempting to, anyway... Perhaps this is the result of using Talky Toaster as their decoder box...

Just as a side note: concerning the Bunnies' outfits for the occasion - those of you who may be unfamiliar with the original Holly Hop Drive, seemingly it had as controls only Start & Stop Buttons - also, it was probably not Lactose Energized... I'm unsure what might happen should anyone press either Io or Callisto's Start Buttons... But it might be just about as inadvisable as pressing Start on the original Holly Hop Drive...

Callisto's puppet friend, of course, is Mister Flibble, who is very cross over not being included in the latest series... JQ
