  • I'm having way too much fun with implanting Dora into other stories than I should.

    "Dora: Uh oh, we need to jack this car in 60 seconds, can you point out what kind of locking mechanism this vehicle has?"

    PREVIOUSLY ON THE FIVE SINGERS RESTAURANT:
    Chef is apparently moving to rural England and Waiterman will miss him but Chef is sad because he'll miss Waiterman too so he decided to take the restaruant with him by putting it on a trailer on Waiterman's pickup truck and then driving it across the Atlantic Ocean to the UK.

    It is less the idea of profit itself than the notion that profit is the priority. To my mind, a company's priority should be how it can best serve its customers, not how it can best extract money from them.

    And yes, private prisons are a monstrous concept.

    The ironic thing is, if a company focuses on best serving its customers, it will often get plenty of profit without even trying.

    Not many companies have figured this out, sadly.

    UNICORN PATROL

    NARRATOR: It's just past midnight in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. But while most of the city sleeps, there's never a dull moment for the mares and stallions of the Cleveland Police Unicorn Squad. Right now, Officer Snowshine and Sergeant Strawberry Dreams are responding to a call.

    (Two unicorns, one white and one pink, gallop down a dark city street side-by-side. Each is wearing a vest with a badge, saddlebags bearing the word "POLICE" and, most noticeably, helmets with rotating blue emergency lights on top.

    STRAWBERRY: We're on our way out to Lakewood. We just got a call of two males trying to pick up a local restaurant by hand and place it on a trailer.

    SNOWSHINE: Gives new meaning to word "shoplifting", doesn't it?

    (The two unicorns turn off their lights as they approach the restaurant, so as not to be spotted by the suspects. The camera pans toward the building itself, where a man dressed in all black except for his white chef's hat repeatedly rams a car jack into the side of the building. Another man, dressed all in black, stands nearby.)

    SNOWSHINE: What's he doing?

    STRAWBERRY: I think he's trying to jack up the restaurant.

    SNOWSHINE: Is that even possible?

    STRAWBERRY: Nevermind that, let's move in.

    (The two police unicorns go running off toward the restaurant.)

    STRAWBERRY: FREEZE! POLICE!

    NARRATOR: But the suspects have other ideas.

    (Chef and Waiterman hop in the truck and go driving off. The unicorns go galloping off after them, blue lights shining, but Waiterman punches the gas and goes speeding off.

    NARRATOR: The cops now have a high-speed pursuit on their hooves. But their horsepower is no match for the truck's. It's time to call in a helping hand.

    (Cut to a human police officer in his patrol vehicle—a pickup truck specially modified to accomodate two horses and allow them to see over the cab.)

    OFFICER: I've been working with the Unicorn Squad for a couple years now. I've got an 8-year-old daughter, so she thinks it's pretty cool, 'cause she gets to hang out with real live police unicorns. She keeps telling me they should arrest her teacher, though. I'm not sure what that's about.

    (The officer pulls the patrol truck out in the street in front of the restaurant, stops quickly to let the two unicorns climb in, then goes speeding off after Chef and Waiterman, sirens blaring.)

    SNOWSHINE: I'm a horse, you know? So I do a lot of traveling in trailers, but...this is different. Every time I have to climb into this truck for a pursuit...you never really stop being a little bit scared.

    (Waiterman, increasingly desperate, guns the accelerator and makes a hard left into a residential street.)

    NARRATOR: It's time to call in a little help from above.

    STRAWBERRY: (to radio) Cloudkicker! We need you! Corner of Detroit and Manor Park!

    NARRATOR: Corporal Cloudkicker has a special advantage even other police unicorns envy: She can fly.

    (A blue winged unicorn, clad in the same police gear as her colleagues, takes to the sky from the roof of the police station.

    CLOUDKICKER: People used to make fun of when I was a filly because, well, how many unicorns do you see who have wings? It was frustrating, 'cause it's like, it's not my fault my mother was a unicorn and my father was a hawk, you know?

    CAMERAMAN: ...How do a bird and a mammal even reproduce?

    CLOUDKICKER: Mythical mammal, big difference biologically. Also, you're not supposed to talk.

    NARRATOR: Within minutes, Cloudkicker has sight of the fleeing suspects.

    (Cloudkicker activates a spotlight on her helmet, which she shines down on the street below, where Waiterman and Chef are being pursued by the unicorns and the human officer.)

    STRAWBERRY: (over radio) Cloudkicker! Put out a stinger!

    CLOUDKICKER: (to radio) You got it!

    (Cloudkicker swoops down in front of Waiterman's borrowed truck. As she passes over the street, she uses her mouth to pull a cord on her saddlebag, deploying a spike strip onto the pavement.

    NARRATOR: It looks like the end of the road for our would-be restaruant thieves.

    (Waiterman, having no time to react, drives straight over the spike strips, puncturing the truck's tires. The truck comes to a stop and both occupants jump out. Waiterman stands at the side of his cousin's truck with his hands in the air, while Chef runs off, still clutching his jack. Snowshine hops out of the police truck and runs after Chef, knocking him to the ground, where he's handcuffed by the human officer.)

    SNOWSHINE: You two are under arrest for attempted theft of a casual dining restaurant. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used against you—

    NARRATOR: But the suspect isn't having it.

    CHEF: AAAAAAH THIS SI BULLSHIT I ONLY WANTED TO HAVE THER ESTARUANT SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE ALL MY FRIENDS MBEHIND WHEN I MOVE OT ENGLAIND-LIKE PLACES.

    WAITERMAN: cherf, be quiet! all your blabing is going to do is give them more stuff to use against us!

    SNOWSHINE: Oh, screw it. Can someone call for a prisoner transport please?

    CLOUDKICKER: I'm on it!

    NARRATOR: Another pair of hardened restaraunt thieves off the streets...thanks to the mares and stallions of the Cleveland PD Unicorn Patrol!

    Yes, he is! I remembered that Unicorn Patrol, Five Singers, and Charlotte's exploits are all set in the Cleveland area, so I thought it would be funny to bring them all together.

    I always kinda imagined the UP unicorns existing in a separate "universe", so to speak, from MLP ponies (they live in a world with humans, after all), but if you like to think of them as MLP unicorns, that's fine too.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    things to think about
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    ^^Imagining them as realistic horses is funny, though.
  • So, Benedict C.'s mystery role in Star Trek 2 turned out to be Ricardo Montalaban and his surprisingly non-plastic chest (also known as Khan).

    I'm not sure what's more off-putting: the fact that they're bringing in Khan this early in the remake game or the fact that they decided to recast an Indian character, originally played by a Hispanic actor, with a white person.

    The first implies that they're going to rely on the popularity/nostalgia of Khan in Star Trek II to financially float this movie. Unless Cumberbatch pulls a Heath Ledger and completely reinvents Khan, this movie's just going to come off as another geeky fandom movie, like Iron Man 2.

    The second, well, it's a particularly bad choice for a whitewash. Khan's supposed to be the Uberman, a guy who stands out above all men in physical, mental and genetic superiority. The fact that this Uberman was Indian was rather revolutionary, and recasting him with a white person seems a bit reactionary.

    So yeah, teal deer, I wish they had casted BC as Gary Mitchell instead.
  • Or, who knows, maybe BC will not actually be Khan, the tabloids are wrong and the movie will be a critical hit and I'll just be some whining guy on the internet who's afraid of change.

    That's not fricking tax deductible and you know it!
