The Borked

“They were gonna assimilate you,
but then they got high.
They were gonna take over the whole galaxy,
but then they got high.
Now they’re drifting aimlessly and I know why… hey hey!
because they got high, because they got high, because they got hiiiigh.” — Afroman

Yes, I’m very aware that Sluggy Freelance did something like this at the beginning of its run, only more Jimmy Buffet and less Jay and Silent Bob.  Where do you think I got the idea?

Over the years I was given or stumbled across two ideas for how to parody the Borg.  The Bjorg and the Borked.  I struggled for a while as to which one to use.  So I did both.

Also, it’s kinda like that time Lrrr ate that hippy.

Also, in my mind’s ear the Bjorg sound like the Borg.  The Borked sound like Tommy Chong.

    As said in Achipelago (http://archipelagocomic.com/comic/); “He looks all frail and frightened, but he has a mind that will swallow you up before it lets you take over.”
    Just as relevent here I think.

  2. BrickVoid says:

    Hehe – I always knew some crewmembers of the Muffin were never meant to be assimilated! :D

    • BrickVoid says:

      I was going to ask why it seems like the console is speaking or why the voice is referring to “something” and not “someone”, but I’m way too interested in the storyline to worry about minor things right now! :D

  3. Ithilelda says:

    Heh. Though truthfully I don’t think anyone they could assimilate from the Muffin would be good for them. Just imagine if they’d snagged Marty, Shauna, Alice, or any of the rest?

  4. Xander says:

    I don’t think Wendigo does anything to get himself high anymore. I think he’s permanently in that state by now.

    Woah… There was something funny in that hippy. My hands are HUGE.
