Recap
Previously on Globturds: The Series…
Roundy and Curveball tried to make “first contact” with aliens, but bowed to a police drone instead. When the cops broke up their alien summit, Roundy swore: “Next time, we’ll go to THEIR planet!”
And so today… the Globturds head for Mars.
The Fifteenth Experiment: Operation Mars Road Trip
The duo “borrowed” shopping carts and lawnmower parts to build their interplanetary vehicle, which they proudly named The Mars Mobile 3000.
-
The engine: three leaf blowers taped together
-
Navigation: a GPS stuck in “Recalculating” mode
-
Fuel: soda bottles filled with Mentos and cola
-
Snacks: Curveball’s entire pantry stuffed in the trunk
Roundy shouted proudly:
“Captain, set course for Mars!”
Curveball adjusted his baseball cap.
“Do we need toll money for space highways?”
The “Launch”
They revved up the Mars Mobile, leaf blowers roaring like hairdryers on steroids. With a dramatic push, it rolled three feet before collapsing in a heap of duct tape.
Curveball grinned.
“Professor, are we there yet?”
Roundy groaned.
“No, Captain… we’ve barely reached the neighbor’s driveway.”
The Detour
Not to be discouraged, they dragged the contraption onto a truck and declared:
“If Mars won’t come to us, we’ll drive to Mars!”
Their “road trip” included pit stops at:
-
The gas station (for slushies, “rocket fuel”)
-
The pet store (Curveball bought goldfish “for space research”)
-
The costume shop (Roundy bought a cape and demanded to be called “Space Lord”)
By the time they reached the desert outskirts, the Mars Mobile fell apart completely.
The Audience
Tourists stopped to watch the Globturds trying to duct-tape leaf blowers back together. One kid shouted:
“Look, Mommy, astronauts!”
The mom laughed.
“No, honey, those are clowns.”
Curveball proudly posed.
“Space clowns, actually!”
The Cliffhanger
Covered in dust and cola foam, Roundy shouted:
“This was only a test drive! Next time, we’ll really blast off to Mars!”
Curveball raised a slushie.
“And I’ll bring extra snacks for the Martians!”
The crowd burst into laughter. Another “mission” complete — another epic failure.
To Be Continued…
Thus ends Part 15 of the saga.
