R2D2, turn on all the trash compactors on the maintenance level. >_>

And there was great rejoicing! At least among the children…but in this case including former children. Finally, if inevitably only at the very end of his career and existence, 8-Dork-8 has done something to make all the children happy. Who would have thought that such a sordid story would end on such a note of redemption?

As for our friends…well, they’re also former children, at least if you don’t count Mopey, who still firmly rejects that notion. So I guess they wouldn’t be unhappy about 8-Dork-8’s decision as such. What they might still resent, of course, is his inability to be of any help to them right now. They could really need some, after all.
But 8-Dork-8’s argument is irrefutable – since there is no existing stock footage of anybody successfully engaging a giant chocolate bar with ‘censorship’ written on it, which has tentacles and consumes reality strip-by-strip, 8-Dork-8’s hands are tied. The lot of a filler character, unfortunately.

Too bad, though – after the Professorian, that’s another entry gone from the list of potential deus-ex-machina candidates. Which didn’t start out terribly long to begin with…
Anyone? Bueller?

Bueller?

More on Monday.
