THE WORLD ISN'T WORKING

yo!.. a great leveller... innit!

in palookaville today..

a great plague has come..

and sucked away the sea..

and all around were swimming naked..

world leaders..

with their bezzels hanging out..

WORLD VIRUS II

since the last world virus..

we have made it to the moon..

we have put ourselves online..

we have home delivery..

of whatevva..

ARTIFICIAL DUMBNESS

we have created a world equality..

everybody is now equally dumb..

and the virus..

is now available to all..

ALL FOOLS ARE EQUAL

but some are more equal than others..

because of the..

all pervasive..

stupidity..

every continent..

and practically every country..

is in the grip of this thing..

there are some with better scores..

but these are few..

and far between..

DUMB AN DUMBER

it was dumb to let it get out..

and it was even dumber to let it get in.. 

it was dumb to have no plan..

and even dumber to have no kit..

LEADERSHIP : THE SHIP THAT NEVER SAILED

the dumb..

lead by donkeys..

are floundering..

in a sea of sickness..

A NEW WORLD PLAN

is needed..

for it is clear that plan has yet to be formulated..

it's not like it wasn't expected..

it has happened before..

but the new world stupid..

has prevented progress..

ARE ALL WORLD LEADERS DUMB?

well some are definitely..

dumber than others..

but no one will admit..

to their mistakes..

as party loyalty and national pride prevail..

 

IT'S A ONE WORLD VIRUS

with a one world solution..

but not a one world approach..

and some will fair worse than others..

PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS

all your horses and all your men..

are ineffective here..

CO-OPERATION NOT CONTAMINATION

make a new plan stan..

get off the quay lee..

stay off the bus gus..

don't let the virus free

COMING UP

the road to palookaville..

how AD changed my life..

how much is that virus in the window?..

TALES OF THE WATCHER

yo!... war of the worlds... innit!

Across the gulf of space... 

intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic...

regarded this earth with envious eyes...and slowly and surely...

drew their plans against us.

GUARDIAN OF THE GALAXY

palookaville...

from orbit 

THE WATCHER

is outcast on an asteroid...

allowed to watch...

events on earth...

but not to interfere...

not even to save us from ourselves

HAL 9000

 There is a message for you...

watcher : Who's calling? 

There is no identification.

watcher : What's the message? 

Message as follows...

 "It is dangerous to remain here... 

You must leave within two days".

GOLF GUY

“It's been twelve hours since I made my request for information!

I need a reply - all hell is breaking loose down here! 

I have enough problems without you pulling some kind of a stunt! 

I just hope there's an Earth for you to return to! 

Make that report I asked for and make it immediately!” 

THE MAN IN THE N95 MASK

And this was no disciplined march...

it was a stampede... 

It was the beginning of the rout of civilization...

of the massacre of mankind. 

WATCHER

I began to realize the complete overthrow of his intelligence...

 to perceive that my sole companion...

in this close and sickly darkness...

was a man insane. 

 CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER

I want to play a game with you...

I don't have time for games...

This is a good game...

It's called "the truth"...

For two minutes...

 I will tell only the truth...

and so will you. 

Without your space helmet, Dave...

You're going to find that rather difficult...

THEY WERE ONLY PLAYING LEAPFROG

“There's one good thing about a reactionary president...

he's not into health foods... 

Last one, we didn't have lunch, we grazed.”

DAMN YANKEES

I'd love a hot dog...

Astrodome. Good hot dogs there...

Astrodome? You can't grow a good hot dog indoors. 

Yankee Stadium. September... 

The hot dogs have been boiling since opening day in April... 

Now that's a hot dog.”

DAVID BOWMAN

“I don't know if HAL is homicidal...

 suicidal, neurotic, psychotic...

or just plain...

broken.” 

HAL

I'm afraid.

Don't be.

 We'll be together.

 Where will we be?

 Where I am now.”
