Recap
Previously on Globturds: The Series…
After their failed “Mars Colony” — which was really just a tinfoil tent in the desert — Roundy declared: “If Mars rejects us, we’ll conquer the ENTIRE solar system!” Curveball, as always, agreed — so long as snacks were included.
And so today… the Globturds set their sights on the stars.
The Eighteenth Experiment: Operation Solar System Takeover
Roundy rolled out a giant “space map” (actually a placemat from a diner with planets doodled in crayon).
-
Mercury: “Too hot. We’ll put Curveball’s pizza oven there.”
-
Venus: “Perfect for soda storage.”
-
Jupiter: “Claimed as my royal throne.”
-
Saturn: “Snack ring delivery system!” Curveball cheered.
-
Uranus: Curveball laughed for 10 minutes straight.
Roundy raised his arms.
“Soon, Captain, the solar system will kneel before the Globturds!”
The Fleet
They built a “space fleet” of cardboard rockets in the backyard. Each rocket was labeled with duct tape:
-
Mars Express
-
Saturn Snacks
-
King Jupiter One
Curveball climbed inside one and shouted, “ALL ABOARD THE SNACK SHIP!” before it collapsed under his weight.
The Collapse
During their “launch ceremony,” Roundy tried to fire off a model rocket, but it tangled in the string of cardboard ships and set the entire fleet ablaze.
Curveball panicked, throwing soda cans at the flames while yelling,
“Save the snacks first!”
The neighbors roared with laughter as the “Globturds Solar Empire” went up in smoke.
The Cliffhanger
Covered in ash, Roundy shouted dramatically:
“This was only a setback! Next time, we’ll invade the galaxy itself!”
Curveball grinned.
“Does that mean infinite snacks?”
The crowd laughed louder than ever.
To Be Continued…
Thus ends Part 18 of the saga.
