Rant: Rod’s Matrix
Barry: Knock you out??? Are you out of your intergalactic mind??? It has taken me days to wake you up.
Rod: I know. It’s all your fault!!
Barry: My fault? Slow down there, Rip Van Rod and let’s talk about this.
Rod: What is there to talk about? You ruined my beautiful dream!
Barry: What beautiful dream, Rod? Talk to me! What do you remember since we were outside, making star observations?
Rod: Well I remember something hitting me in the head…..
Barry: Yeah…..a piece of meteor nailed you….
Rod: Then suddenly I was this character called Flavor Flav, with all the babes wanting me!
Barry: What happened next?
Rod: This guy dressed up in what earth people call “goth” rode up on a motorcycle. He threw a cloth over me and suddenly I was transported away.
Barry: Who was he?
Rod: I don’t know. They called him something Angel.
Barry: Anyway, you disappeared but where did you go?
Rod: I was at a very barren place, looking at this giant obelisk, then I was in a spacesuit with a computer saying “Good Morning, Rod.”
Barry: I kept saying that to you. I must have been getting through to you.
Rod: Then suddenly, I was in the Supreme Overlord’s arms.
Barry: That sounds like a nightmare!
Rod: It wasn’t. She was in love with me and was going to make me ruler of the universe when you woke me up, you dolt!
Barry: I know! It was my singing that did it.
Rod: Your singing?? YOUR SINGING??? That awful whining noise you call music?
Barry: Now, wait a minute….
Rod: No I won’t!
< A clanging noise is heard as Rod clobbers Barry with a bed pan and grabs the remote control.>
Rod: The ruler of this house now has his scepter back! Muhhhhaaaaaaa!
<Supreme Overlord is watching this on her monitor.>
Supreme Overlord: HE thinks that was a nightmare? He should think about it from my end!!!
