Ship's Log, Supplemental
Commander Sci-Pi, recording
.
Recent HubNuggets time-and-space missions have spanned a wide space-time range. The latest is recorded in Lt. Commander Simone Hakaru-sulu's new TV pilot proposal. I include it here in case the ship does not make it out of this ancient era. We may need to resort to the slingshot-around-the-sun method of time travel.
Welcome to W-HUBN News Tonight!
Ship’s Log Supplemental
- from Station W-HUBN in Niagara Falls ON-NY
News Reporters Ripplemaker and Mirror Crack’d, recording.
W-HUBN – Yeah, were Hubbin’!
.
HubHQ issued the HubNuggets Team a special assignment this week. President of W-HUBN Marketing, Jason Menayan, sent crack reporters Ripplemaker and Mirror Crack’d to cover the 18th century story of the hour – the dustup after the French and Indian War in North America (1754 to 1763). Mirror Crack’d provided transportation – he coughed us up like his cousin Stargate® at Cheyenne Mountain.
Pulitzer Prize winning International News Anchor Maddie Ruud was holding a primetime slot open for us on W-HUBN News Tonight with Simone Hakaru-sulu and accepting the live feed as Engineer and camera-bug P8 Blue transmitted it. Let’s have a look…
Mirror, Mirror; Star Gateway to the Ages...
On the Scene
Ripplemaker: We’re here live at the aftermath of the French and Indian War at the All American Saloon on Lake Erie! Niagara Rocks! -- Exciting, isn’t it, Mirror?
Mirror Crack’d: Stop yelling at me – all I did was cough!
R: Yes, yes, that’s fine. Now, let’s enjoy ourselves while we’re here. We could be promoted if we do a good job.
M: Me, promoted --To what; a restroom fixture?
R: Do you still have that stomachache?
M: URRRPPPPP…
[HubNugget Hank ejects from the Mirror and propels across the bar, carried by a frosty mug of his favorite ale sliding to a customer at the end]
[CRASH! TINKLE!...gallop, gallop, gallop..]
Hank.........................................?
Ripplemaker: Folks in TVLand, that was platypus and Special Correspondent HubNugget Hank. He just smashed through the saloon window and was carried off by Chief Poker Face of the Iroquois Confederation.
That platypus will make a mighty fine dream catcher and bring so much JOY to young native children….P8 Blue, you have GOT to hold that video camera still...Yes, yes, I know the Native Americans want to take it from you and start their own production company… just keep your pincers on it…
P8 Blue: Bibbity bobbity boo!
R: The bar is crowded tonight, friends! Americans are celebrating the coming Revolution, while the Mohawk and Oneida have the French and British Canadians tied up outside for trying to sell them the Brooklyn Bridge instead of coming cross with the land they promised before the war.
We also have a group of 18 distinguished new residents of this settlement - HubNugget Wannabes - with us tonight, so let’s visit with the initial delegation of 6 before we go outside and interview the Native Americans and their captives. But first, here's a little background data and a HubPages Map to show you where we are!
1722: The Prelude
Ripplemaker:A look at this map shows you where our broadcast originates - we are in Niagara Falls in Ontario and New York. The Six Nations Reserve is to the west. Word on the streets is that the First Nations may try a takeover of Niagara. Stay tuned!
Six Nations Reserve, Ontario
Six Nations, Ontario -

Out Behind the Pub
Ripplemaker: Here we are outside the All American Saloon with a group of Oneida that have adopted the European manner of dress and succeeded in business without really trying. They have a group of Canadians tied up and gagged until their fates are determined… Greetings Canadians! Nice weather, eh? How has the aftermath of the French and Indian War affected you?

[Mirror rolls up to a dark figure draped in a black cloak, wearing a Mohawk war cap and carrying a large knife.]
M: Ahoy, Sailor!
[CRACK!]
M: Hey, that hurt -- What’s up with the fisticuffs?
Dr. Pocahontas of Pi: Never sneak up on an Indian. Say, you need a new face.
M: That’s YOUR face, miss. Now, tell me. As an American, what are your views on the upcoming Revolution?
Dr. Poca of Pi: Indeed. Since I’ve been hiding out in this century, I have made some useful contacts, especially with Francis Marion. You’ll know him in future as Swamp Fox. That is all I can divulge at this juncture. Now, please leave me – I don’t like … mirrors…
And I never drink…wine [waves off the bartender]
M: Say, it's getting on towards Twilight here, so just one last question, miss – you seem of Native heritage…
Dr. Poca of Pi: Yes, yes, Chief Poker Face is my great-great-great-grandfather. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have something I must attend.

CONGRATULATIONS to the HubNuggets Wannabes! - Post Audience and Artists' Reactions here and Thanks for Voting!Loading...
They are really very good topics and articles this week. Each one has something good to offer. Thanks for voting!
Awesome - read, voted, rated, and (shudder) "'Booked" - yes folks, you saw it here first...FaceBook has now achieved the immortal status of being both noun and verb (shudder)FaceBook n. social networking site; v. "to Book" past tense "'Booked": to post a link on the site (requires use of capital "B") ;)
But I digress! Great hub, O, mysterious Doctor! Are you by chance also related to Big Chief Many-Giggles of the Stand-up Tribe? ...or perhaps his cousin, Mighty-Yuks? I hear his folk are booked steady in the Casinos. Those Canadians can be pretty revolting too, eh!
Excellent reporting, eh? I didn't know that you could speak Canadian, Commander Ripplemaker. That little talent will come in very useful.
Ya know, if you live long enough, you see and hear everything, like Mirror Crack'd working with us, rather than ag'in us.
Love the Falls, the casinos in the Falls and Poker Face. It's all here in one well-written package, what a terrific hub!
Good luck to our Wannabes! Vote everybody!
It is so hard to choose. You have so much good material there and it is fair to choose just one.
Little-Booking-RedElf - How wonderful! A new art form, I think. Yes, yes - Big Chief Many-Giggles is a distant relation. Mighty-Yuks I have seen only in passing, but wish to meet. :)
Admiral Shirley - Ripplemaker did quite a job, eh?
Hello, hello - It IS hard to decide! Thanks for voting, friend!
Ya, sure- I read them all, I did, eh.
Loved the hub story, Ripplemaker. I, too, learned a great deal from the topics offered here. Useful things that I am going to put into practice.
I did my homework casting my vote and now I'm off to play in hubland. Have a great w/e everyone. :)
And thanks to Mirror Crack'd and Simone Hikaru-sulu :), she said from behind the curtain...
Wow Patty what an honor to be broadcasting the Hubnuggets this week. I've just visited the Beauty and Fashion nominees and I enjoyed them so much that I found myself having difficulty in picking just one hub to vote for. :)
This has been a wonderful episode right here on W-HUBN news. All done with hubhopping and voted too! Congratulations to all the Hubnuggets nominees and best of luck. Vote and promote! Enjoy the Hubnuggets!
This is very cool! Thank you for explaining to a Newbie, and making this fun. Vote for me! What It Takes To Make A Difference! Yea HubTeam! Yea Ripplemaker! Thank you!
Thanks Ripplemkaer. Please vote for me as well.
Thanks so much for my nomination. How exciting!!
Danggit---I just broke one of the tines of my forked sewing needle.
Congratulations to all the Hubnuggeteers nominations and best of luck. REMEMBER TO READ, VOTE & PROMOTE!
SciPi as always a fabulous hub

What fun for us all!
@Zsuzsy Bee - I read somehwere about a needle technique with 2-3 needles and could not grasp it mentally; but I kept thinking of the beautiful embroidery you do and had some fun.
Ou Ou Ou Outerspace!
Thanks. I learn. Appreciate the information...
Wow...Some great hubs. Voted, but it was hard this week, as usual!!
Is there an accolade or similar that can be added to hubnugget winner's profiles or hubs?
Thank you for the Nomination ~ it certainly helped to put a smile back on my dial. :-)
Thanks for all the votes! Keep promoting and keep writing!
We think BT, Candy Bubbles, and Oneida Man must be on vacation...a business expense, naturally.
I finally made it here and voted! Fantabulous hub!!
Vacation you say? I wish! The platypus ate my passport and I was stuck at customs! Do you have any idea what they do to suspicious jackalopes? *shudders*
Sounds horrendous. Better carry an extra!
The parody vid is by VenitianPrincess on YouTube and it has nearly 32,000,000 views right now 8/6/2010.
Failed to vote, but loved your hub, Patty, as usual. I've been stuck with a semi-zombie netbook. Hmnnn...the HubPages virus multiplies fast in my account...heheh!
