Punk Rock Kilgore Trout

Tequila & the Exorcists were a #blatant rip-off of pan-galatic peace punks Peach Schnapps & the Poltergeists. As was their song Beat the Space Facists. It even had the same chords as Punch a Space Nazi, but Peach and the gang didn't sue--the sentiment was too important.

Arguably the galaxy's ugliest, most #beastly looking spaceship, The Mirv was originally #designed as a cut-rate shopping haven.
Pan-galatic punks Peach Schnapps & the Poltergeists 'liberated' it before it could be made into condos.
Honest Ed would be proud.

Neville had called in 'sick' again. Jess shrugs, shovels more dead kids into the spaceship's furnace. At least the #lacuna #shift pays overtime. Still, helluva way to make a living.

Lol, I had to read it twice!

Welcome back to the Annual Pan-galatic Punk Picnic everyone! Im enjoying the hell out of this steak and mushroom pie from the Fungus System, Bob!
Ko'l, did you say mushrooms??
Aye!
*Bob pales, chokes. Mushrooms?? I'm allergic!
Bob, what part of Fungus System didn't you understand?

#vss365

Welcome back to the Annual Pan-galatic Punk Picnic everyone! I can't read my notes! There's so much #blood, Bob!
Ko'l, I'm sorry! Yesterday's flying bundt cake mishap--
Bob sighs: Mum always said I should've been an accountant...
Or a nurse!
Eh?
More gauze, please.
Really?
Head wounds, yo.

#vss365

What the flying fuck is wrong with him? Jebus.

Welcome back to the Annual Pan-galatic Punk Picnic everyone! I was initially quite excited about the flying bundt cakes from Aves II today! But then tragedy struck, Bob!
Ko'l, your head #wound is bleeding again.
Fucking birds. Pass me the gauze, please.

#vss365

Welcome back to the Annual Pan-galatic Punk Picnic everyone! I'm loving this jelly cake from Medusa II! The #lambent light is really something, Bob!
Ko'l, I don't think that's intentional! Medusa II is in the midst of a brutal nuclear war! How much did you eat?
Um...
Your lips are glowing!

#vss365

Welcome back to the Annual Pan-galatic Punk Picnic everyone! Today the Pescatarius System is presenting their filet of #soul, Bob!
Ko'l, don't you mean filet of sole?
No. The Pescatariats are actually evil religious cannibal zealots and they harvest souls!
And we invited them why?

#vss365

There's a faint #thrum in the air until Penelope C. Penumbra #connects the cable.
PCP: There! We're all set! I've turned time back to Friday, so we're no longer late for the prompt words!
Kurt Kerf2: That's great and all, but could you go back a bit further? I have some regrets...

As Peach Schnapps and Kurt Kerf2 run from the giant and certain death, their energy begins to #wane.
Peach: We're gonna be giant food!
K2: I don't want to die!
The giant picks up speed, rumbles laughter, reaches out... and taps each of them gently.
She bellows in delight: Tag!! You're it!

#vss365

K2, whispers: I feel like we're on the #cusp of something--like this story is going nowhere cos our creator is hungover again, but, just maybe--
PUNK ROCK KILGORE TROUT: WHATS THAT?
K2: Uh, nothing master creator sir!
PRKT: THIS IS ALL GOING... SOMEWHERE! YEAH, SOMEWHERE!
K2: 👍

#vss365

Peach Schnapps, sighs: Do you really want lead vocals on a track?
Kurt Kerf2: Yes!
Peach: How about a B side?
K2: I feel like we're on the #cusp of something here...
Peach: Like being eaten by a giant?
The giant chuckles. Again.
K2: Shit, I almost forgot about her.

#vss365

Twas but a #ruse.
Peach Schnapps faked his fall. He leaps over Kurt Kerf2, who grabs his leg.
K2: Gotcha!
The giant steps closer.
Peach: We can work this out!
K2; I get lead vocals on the next single?
Peach: I'd rather be eaten by this giant!
K2: Seriously??
Peach: As a supernova.
K2: Ass.

#vss365

Trying to outrace the freshly woken giant on Colossus VI (and each other), Peach Schnapps and Kurt Kerf2 run blindly down the path. Peach #slips.
K2, not stopping to help his friend, looks back: Ha ha! I will not be giant food today!
And promptly runs right into a tree.
The giant chuckles.

#vss365

Thanks, and thanks for reading!

The ancient sleeping giants woke and saw what we had done to the planet. Their tears, a #drizzle at first, later caused massive flooding. The ice caps melted, the salinity of the oceans changed, the planet #froze.
The giants, made for the cold, walked the planet again.

#Unmoored from the hill she'd been sleeping under, the giant rises to her full height and roars.
Kurt Kerf2: What should we do?
Peach Schnapps: Run!
K2: You can't outrun a giant!
Peach: I don't have to outrun her, I just have to outrun you.
K2: What?
Peach bolts.

#vss365

Pebbles begin to dance at their feet as the ground shakes. Then larger rocks. Then boulders. The nearest hill moves and trees #bend and break. A shape unfolds, towers above the band.
Peach Schnapps: Uh-oh.
Kurt Kerf2: Whaddaya mean 'uh-oh'?
Peach: You need me to define 'uh-oh'?
#vss365

Traveling on foot to their next gig through the hills of Colossus VI (after the limo had broken down), Peach Schnapps: Huh. I don't think I've ever seen a mountain actually do that before.
Kurt Kerf2: Eh?
Peach: #Loom. It's looming at us.
K2: I don't think that's a mountain...

#vss365

Peach Schnapps: Of the many sexual delights offered on Hedonia IV? From various men, women, and assorted others? Oh, I've #dappled.
Interviewer: I think you mean dabbled.
Peach: You didn't see the walls after...

#vss365

I don't want a brother. They brought him home when I was six. They said I could play with him, but he's boring.

I take him some food. His skin is white, #dappled with weird blotches and wrist sores from the chains.

Mum and Dad say I mustn't tell people about him when outside. I like that.
