[Scene:  the bridge of Pegasus.  Everybody, and I do mean everybody,  is lounging around, looking bored out of their skulls.]
LSIK&T:  Check the schedule again, McCool.
OZY MCCOOL:  M’Liege, I’ve already checked it 14…
[His Rudeness’ Klingon-Vulcan hybrid XO, Korrioth, backhands Ozymandias McCool, sending him spinning & sprawling to the deck.]
KORRIOTH:  Check it again, Lieutenant Whelp.
OZY MCCOOL (groggily):  Uh…confirmed Captain…m’Lord:  The University of Buffalo is the only PFW team playing this week.
MERLIN:  Akron is playing the Bulls at Buffalo.  Turner Gill’s bunch is a one-point favorite.
LSIK&T:  And that’s it???
MERLIN:  Yes, m’Lord.  Heights, TCU, Oklahoma, LSU and the Cowboys are all off this weekend.
LSIK&T:  Great Honkin’ Cthulu™.
T-BONE MCMANX:  Hey, m’Liege, you could go off for a weekend with the Dockmistress™.
LSIK&T (eyeing Merlin warily):  I thought I told you to tell the bridge crew about that.
MERLIN (looking panicked):  Uh…sorry, Your Snarlyness, I confess that it slipped my mind…
[A look of realization hits Merlin’s face, as if suddenly remembering something very  important.  The look is not  missed by the King & Tyrant™.]
LSIK&T:  Merlin?  She’s still there, isn’t she?  They’re both  still there, aren’t they?!?!?!
MERLIN:  (gulp!!!)
LSIK&T:  (sigh)  I’d commend you for the torture, Wizard, but I wanted to be rid of this problem a long time ago.
MERLIN (hangs head in shame):  Yes, m’Lord.
LSIK&T:  Awright, everyone.  To the airlock.
(To be continued…)
Okay, guys, I’ll be back Sunday – or hell, maybe even Saturday night – for the recap of the ONE GAME ON THE PFW SCHEDULE THIS WEEKEND…!!!1~
In the meantime – has anyone seen the Humble DevilDog???
