Fill-In-The-Blank Game!

[Doctor.Sphinx]

Doctor Sphinx obediently handed Sam91 the masterful-mohelets yarmulke of momentary-melioration, and also offered her the izmel-of-elimination-for-stubborn-to-remove-protrusions-of-pride, just in case she was having trouble with assembly of the circumcisor.

'Remember, it's all in the wrist', the doctor reassured her.

'Also remember to mark L4W's face, so you don't... uhhh... trim that off by accident', the doctor warned.

 

[Sam91]

She looked at the first yarmulke and did not understand its origins, the second was not needed for this task but stowed in in her pocket for later use if the operation failed.

'No the yarmulke-of-painful-but-nonetheless--spiritual-beneficial-surgery' she said, staring at her accomplice for his unusual show of haplessness... not understanding the benefits of these superior yarmulkes.

Hearing this the unfortunate @Lost4words panicked and...

 

[Doctor.Sphinx]

tripped over a chair. The good doctor, in an effort to prevent the panicking L4W from inflicting on himself further injury, used some nearby rope to secure him in place to the chair.

The assembly of the circumcisor was complete, the yarmulke of painful-but-nonetheless-spiritual-beneficial-surgery was sitting quite fashionably atop Sam91's optimally-sized head, and the patient was ready to have his obnoxious and unsightly protrusions of pride dealt with...

 

[Sam91]

But started sobbing.

'Please don't operate. I'll circumcise my own heart. Anything but this!'

@Sam91 was in a quandary. She didn't mind operating on the Sphinx by misconstruing consent but to do so on someone so against it was too much. She had little choice but to postpone surgery temporarily. She was very disappointed and shrugged.

'I'm sorry everyone. It seems the patient has unwisely withdrawn his consent.'

She drew @Doctor.Sphinx aside 'If we perhaps found him unconscious, it isn't unknown on this ship afterall, maybe we could incorporate this much needed treatment into the life-saving attempt?'

 

[Doctor.Sphinx]

Doctor Sphinx agreed, if somewhat disappointedly.

'Couldn't you give him something to extract consent?' he asked disappointedly. 'Even if it was misconstrued enough as to leave reasonable doubt?'

'No.' Sam91 shook her head firmly. 'It wouldn't be right just to go about willy-nilly operating on the crew. Even if it was in their best interests, and ours...'

Doctor Sphinx nodded. It was a wise decision from the master surgeon, even if a disappointing outcome. But judging by the unsightly protrusions of pride expanding all over L4Ws face, he had better make a decision soon - if L4W didn't want to become one giant unsightly protrusion himself.

'Shall I pack away the circumcisor', asked Doctor Sphinx, 'or leave it out just in case the patient changes his mind? It would serve as a good reminder to the rest of the crew also...'

 

[Sam91]

'I would rather put it away. T'is a rare and expensive piece of equipment.'

Turning to L4W she said 'I prescribe the use of this yarmulke-of-elimination-for-stubborn-to-remove-protrusions-of-pride. You must wear it each day until you see an improvement in your visage and general amiability.

What would you like for dinner? We have ribs or ribs?'

 

[Doctor.Sphinx]

'I-I-I th-think I'll have ribs ma'am' asked Lost4words politely.

Sam91 smiled to herself, and the good doctor could see her prescription was having a positive effect already.

'Where's my ribs!?' a familiar voice bellowed, and the doctor rushed off to start serving dinner.

 

[Lost4words]

I quickly grabbed the pink fluffy tail and swallowed it whole. I knew it would heal me. It did!

It also gave me awesome strength. I was now able to lift up a car with one hand. Ok, it was a model car but still. Suddenly, my eyes turned red and I could see through walls! Waw! That tail must have magical ingredients.

I could see that it was raining outside. Wait! The raindrops were massive! And, there were sheep trapped in the raindrops! As they hit the ground they exploded in hundreds of lamb chops. I must search for some mint sauce. You can't have lamb chops without it!

 

[Lost4words]

I then realised I was in a narcotic state! The tail must be making me imagine things because I went outside to get some lamb chops but there wasn't anything there.

Doc, I need your help!

 

[Sam91]

@Doctor.Sphinx nudged @Sam91 and said 'I think he means you.'

@Sam91 repled that DS was the one with the word doctor in his name.

They played 'rock, paper, scissors' for the honour and priviledge of treating the newbie L4W.

Fortunately for @Lost4words the good doctor won. He checked his vitals and all seemed well, except for the hallucinagenic effect, rigid muscles, overly brisk reflexes, moderate tachycardia and mismatched pupils, a little hypoxia with the odd jerk now and then.

The Sphinx, with his vast knowledge and experience said 'you'll live. Drink water and go to sleep.... GW carry him to his quarteslrs please.' He then recommenced ruminating about GW's sidekick training and progress.

 

[Lost4words]

L4W, remembered 'the odd jerk' mentioned by Sam. Yea, he was a right bully at school! In fact, there were several!

 

[Sam91]

@DavidFirth asked someone to bring him some of the chops that @Lost4words had found.

 

[Lost4words]

L4W was angry now. His mouth was watering because he could see lamb chops in his mind. Cooked and covered in mint sauce, yet, he knew it was an illusion. He would have to make do with Sam91's cooking. Help!

 

[Sam91]

@CtC moaned that @Lost4words seemed to be getting special treatment. 'Why is his food covered in mint sauce? All that you cook for us is deathly hot.'

This caused Samantha's pharisaical attitude to surface, quoting from the KJV- a version used often by the self-righteous 'Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door- James chapter 5 verse 9'...

 

[Lost4words]

L4W felt sad. So, he went out fishing and caught a 60lb shark in the puddle outside the front door.

He took it inside and presented it to Sam. It was a gift for her superb cooking.

 

[Sam91]

Samantha took the stray hair out of his hand and after thanking him for such a lovely present, trying not to feel a little disappointed that it wasn't a real shark, humbly ordered him back to bed until the effects narcotic tail wore off.

'Don't worry' she whispered 'you're not the first to have erred like this. Thankfully, For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities 7; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.' Quoting the KJV version of hebrews 4:15.

@Doctor.Sphinx noticed her new shiny yarmulke. 'Samantha, could I examine your new yarmulke? I see that you now favour the KJV and are oft to quote the new testament in place of the old.'

@Sam91 hesitated but the yarmulke prompted her with verse of Hebrews 13:16 'But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.'

So she said 'take it Dr S, for as long as you need.'

 

[Lost4words]

L4W retired to bed with his 'tail' between his legs...( Tail! Yikes! Where did that come from?! )

 

[Sam91]

@Sam91 and the others decided that the new guy wasn't really that bad afterall and was going to fit in wonderfully around here.

 

[Lost4words]

People usually love me. Maybe its because i am soft and cuddly. Ok, my ears are big and i have a long snout.

 

[Sam91]

@Sam91 asked lost4words if his yarmulke was still in place, wondering if that comment was misplaced pride or humble honesty.

The somewhat more likeable L4W assured her that he'll wear that yarmulke until recovered. So she smiled. 'So what do you do for fun, other than causing chaos on threads? ' she smirked.
