Ship's Log, Supplemental 06.25.2010

Doctor $ci-Pi, recording.

We survived our last adventure and B.T. Bad-A$$-Jacket and his HubNuggets Flyer became a great Saturday Morning Cartoon Show among the great poets of our last episode . A talent scout had emerged from the Mirror Crack'd and spotted him right away (kinda like Bump In The Night)

While I listen to a Podcast of PeeWee Herman's latest Broadway production, I'm beginning the Ship's Log from the point of our latest twist in time.

I had begun reading lost books recently found, like Jules Verne's 1863 Paris In the Twentieth Century . The Universal Timeline also began reading - my mind - and sent us to the year2020 and a Medical Tourism facility in Florida.

Perhaps the Time Ship Relativity might save us before we are all subjected to unwanted surgical procedures...

The scene is like Kingdom Hospital meets Sesame Street . The flick being recorded by the Ship's Computer plug-in, designed by Engr P8 Blue, might make this organization some dough. Then I can stopping looking for loose quarters in the couch cushions...

Your Musical Background: Cozy In the Rocket

Time folded

back on itself and dropped us through the Mirror Crack'd into a Seattle hospital in Florida.

It was Pensacola Grace.

We were doctors - some of us anyway; others were quacks..or at least had a duckbill.

It was a dark night in a small hospital when Dr. B.T. McDreamyPants was paged for an immediate neurosurgicalisticicalichista consult. It was a new protocol put together after our Medical Treaty with Russia was signed in 2011. Pants insisted that his wife, Dr. P8 Grey assist him, even though she was looking a little pale. Together, they rushed to the ER.

They found their consult...

It was McSteamyNugget Hank!

He'd played red-shirt and was sacrificed in our last episode. However, the Mirror Crack'd Universe spit him back out from down time's tunnels, rejected for bad taste! No sooner had he'd plopped out of the looking glass with a torn toe-web, than he'd attempted a new lip-lock with the Skip - Dr. Skipper, that is.

Skipper used her awesome singing voice that netted her a Universal Idol win and distracted the marsupial ensign, then decked him - er - to the deck.

His head was all twisty-like now and Dr. Skipper had called for a consult.

Little P8 Grey complained, " Arrrggh, he ought t' be woke up wid a bucket o' the cold sea and made t' walk the plank, he should! -- Pirates of the Carribeany be not so far away, atoll, yer know, seein' as how we're in Floridee!"

Be that as may be, the consult found nothing useful in the twisty-brained ensign. Dr. Upright RedElf, Attending; and Chief of Cranial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Zsuzsy McBrainyBee, the top brain un-twisters in their field, were summoned.

Meanwhile, Dr. $ci-Pi was busy digging quarters out of the couch in the doctor's lounge to feed into the coin-operated defibrillator, which was sure to be required -- It always was at Pensacola Grace.

Dr. RedElf intubated the patient and secured him on a cat's cradle rigging with IV lines while Chief McBrainyBee made a complete diagnosis: clogged duct work.

The filters and the blood-brain barrier must be changed!

We also needed another pair of hands - and a cane.

Dr. Skipper summoned the Pensacola Grace Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH) and paged the hospital chaplain, Ripplemaker, who set off to round up this week's HubNuggets Wannabes and feed them in the cafeteria until time for their presentation - Live! from Pensacola Grace.

Dr. RedElf secured permission to change the marsupial blood-brain barrier and filters from 2020 State Surgeon General Jason Menayan and requisitioned the NAPA parts from #1 NASCAR Jet-Car Driver Maddie Ruud, who had just won the 2020 Daytona 1,500 nearby.

(The toe-webbing was easy - if the idiots in the film Splice could plant arms onto legs, so could we!)

It was a GO!

Emergency Medical Hologram

A public domain hologram.
A public domain hologram.

Emergency Medical Hologram Theme

It was a GO!

No anesthetics were used in 2020.

The shiny gold hood ornament on the top of the cane our EMH twirled did the trick by hypnotizing the trick-toed platypus like a fast-acting knock out powder.

The HubNugget Team doctors rapidly pursued repairs to the marsupial.

Parts, engineering manuals, and tools were flying everywhere. Dr. $ci-Pi fed quarters into the defibrillator, preparing for the impending crisis.

The Interns in the observation theater above our heads were cheering as they looked on at the strange visitors around the table and their stranger methods. One of the interns, an arachnoid type in a red shell was waving to Little P8 Grey. He was holding up a placard with his phone number in the observation window and asking her to call him.

BT McDreamyPants didn't like that. The suction hose he held slipped -

Out of the blue we heard a voice: The Mirror Crack'd starting yelling about a stomach ache. He, she, or plain ol' it (?) was bellowing for an antacid! -- Fee Fi Fo Fum, I need something for my tum!

Suddenly, Dr. McBrainyBee gasped!

She lowered her carpet thread and sail needle.

We all stood back in astonishment...

The suction hose

took on a life of its own and attached itself to Hank's fur like a vacuum cleaner to a long haired cat. The Crack'd Mirror rolled over to have a look and Hank's bill got sucked into that.

Meanwhile, the first 9 HubNugget Wannabes came strolling into the operating room, drinking lattes, to have a look, and here they are:

The red-shelled

phone solicitor fell through the glass observation window and landed right on top of Hank...or whatever he was turning into. He looked like a marsupial crustacean with legs and arms and tripods....

Another 9 HubNugget Wannabes came waltzing in to see what was happening, eating roasted corn on a stick. Here they are:

Dr. Skipper declared

a Pensacola Grace Emergency and put the hospital on lockdown. Luckily, Chaplain Ripplemaker had brought the final 9 HubNugget Wannabes in as they finished their strawberry milkshakes. You can visit with them below. The Chaplain brought a quart of fizzing Alka Seltzer for the Mirror as well.

The creatures on the table became very very silent...Dr. $ci-Pi raised the paddles of the charged and paid-up defibrillator...

And the Mirror Crack'd hiccupped and swallowed Hank, the lobster with his phone, BT McDreamyPants, Dr. Skipper, and the Alka Seltzer.

Dr. Upright RedElf, Dr. Zsuzsy McBrainyBee, Chaplain Ripplemaker, and Little P8 Grey threw up their hands and went to the cafeteria for pie.

Will HubNugget Hank ever walk again?

Will P8 Blue/Grey settle the war within herself?

Where in time will the dyspeptic Mirror Crack'd spew the HubNuggets Team next (and had it had lunch in the cafeteria?)

Did Doctor $ci-Pi disappear and open a practice under an asumed name?

AND...

Are we down to half a HubNugget Team in search of the next HubNuggets Wannabes?

Thank you, Enelle, for every one of your votes!

I'm still collecting quarters, in case the time tunnel develops a Phantom Toll Booth.

I was glad to donate the parts from my car....... until I realized it wouldn't run anymore. My career in NASCAR is over! *Sniff sniff*

At least I have HubNuggets to comfort me.

Chief of Cranial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Zsuzsy McBrainyBee, the top brain un-twisters here and I dare anyone to try to say that ten times fast... neurosurgicalisticicalichista

Very funny Doctor $ci-Pi are we ever doing to be rid if the platypus? It seems not even other time zones can put up with the fish breath.

Congrats all you hubnuggeteers on being nominated. Good luck, don't forget to promote promote and promote...

Chief McBrainyBee!

How was your pie? You probably had to bake it first, knowing the hospital, and I'm sure it was delicious!

We were hoping you could untwist HH for good; and for your brave and brainy actions this week, you must have a commendation.

I do hope the Chaplain Ripplemaker is able to help P8 Blue/Grey with her dilemma - being at war with oneself can be so divisive...and thanks again, Maddie, for the MOPAR accessories, er, platypus parts.

Great Hub!!! I look forward to the return of Dr. $ci-PI, and I shall have to remember the "Phantom Toll Booth" for future reference.

Congratulations to all the nominees :D

Awesome as always $ci-Pi! I read and voted, but I still have a question. Did anyone get Hank's insurance info? I have no idea where to send the bill!

Patty Inglish, MS profile image

Patty Inglish, MS Hub Author 23 months ago

(From a hidden phone in a secret locale): What?! - I thought his bill got sucked into the Mirror. lol. Besides, ensigns don't have insurance. How about the lobster? HE has insurance. You can fix him and charge him for Hank as well, the patient parts are so inter-confused. (end of transmission)

What an enjoyable read Patty! I'm down to my last 6...I'm rubbing my eyes if I'm reading it right or upside down. It's 6 not 9 right? Or is it 9 in an inverted 6? LOL

Read and voted. I have a question, are the nominated hubs chosen by the Hubnuggets team automatically or one needs to write an email or post the link in any forum for joining the Hubnuggets contest? I ask this as I am a new hubber and am aspiring to write some good quality hubs in very near future.

Aw shoot, I came here thinking I'd get a lesson in alien biology(are the Greys the good aliens or the bad ones? I can never remember!). Stellar hub, though! I voted, too. That's always the hard part!

Patty Inglish, MS profile image

Patty Inglish, MS Hub Author 23 months ago

Let me recall...I believe the Greys are traditionally the short pilots of spacecraft that invade earth. Seems to fit P8 Blue/Grey - she's short, being a bug. I think Greys are neutral, while the taller guys are plain weird...and blue or green :)
