The engines don’t move the ship at all. The ship stays where it is while the engines move the universe around it.

heh, I know that reference. I just forget the chapter. I might has listened on BBC, watched the mini-series, read the book and maybe have it on vhs. 🙂

It’s like when you have your spouse push the refrigerator next to your desk.
Night-Gaunt49
Folding space to move. It seems to unsettle the digestive track of some organisms.

Not as bad as finding out how a gin and tonic feels about being drunk.

Man! I’ve been done in by the Zipper and the Round-Up, so I have great empathy for the barfers … but they just traveled astronomical distances like *that*. I could barf a little for that.

And the first one to barf was Anesu. Although the Lighty-Light Drive didn’t actually upset anyone else’s stomach, the sight and smell of Anesu vomiting continuously for three minutes was more than their stomachs could handle.

I think it important to note, O’Kingly, that the reason you can’t humble-brag is because everyone *else* is barfing! When they’re done, you should first smugly note that aloud.
Schismatism
Are Mihrrgoots even capable of vomiting? It seems like evolution might have passed them by on that particular trick.
O’Kingly’s gettin’ the hang of that Irish accent, aye?
If a tree fell in the forest and there was no one around to hear it, Don Martin could still do the sound effect.

Crk-shhhhhhh-poom.

Ha! You had fun with this one. I can tell.

The Pukey-Puke drive works! Now if we could only hear the sound it makes when the ship reappears at the end of a journey.
Stefinatrix
Mmmmm, space chunks.

I miss the old MAD. I still remember strips/stories, whatever you call them, that I use to explain concepts in classes.
War Pig
I remember when it was a comic until it had to change to a magazine format to beat censorship.
“You can talk about your guards,
And your fullbacks gaining yards.
And those ends that run the hook and down-and-out.
But when it comes to glory, then the quarterback’s your story.
Cause it’s him the fans all want to read about.
Now there’s …. and Johny U, Bart Starr and ….. too,
And Fran Tarkington, who scrambles for his dough.
But of those that pass the ball,
the coolest of them all,
Is that hero of the Jets team, Broadway Joe.
For it’s “Joe!, Joe!, Joe!”, a blonde is waving in the seventh row.
All the grandstands will be shaking,
With the passes you’ll be making.
And we don’t mean playing football, Broadway Joe.”
Folding space – traveling without moving.

I just hope Pilot’s plasma cannon doesn’t accidentally kick in.
Don Martin would be proud.

@Phredd, he was a great inspiration. 🙂
