Synopsis

Captain's Log, date unknown, because Gus didn't flip the calendar ? again.

It's so damn hard for a guy to watch a big mutilation ball game in peace. If it ain't T'Nuk whining 'cause she didn't get to buy some piece o' crap dolly off the shopping channel, or Six and Gus giving me their "we're so superior to sports" gripefest, it's Commander Adam of the Confederation beaming onto my ship and ordering me, at gunpoint, to commit crimes that he's too much of a pansy to commit himself.

Basically, the hero of the Confederation Cougars mutilation ball team used to be a jock named Malak. Adam demanded that we kidnap Malak out of retirement in time for the Cougars' big game against the Dark Clowns. While I could, of course, have booted Adam off my ship with a testicular roundhouse kick, I generously decided to help the Confederation stomp the Dark Clowns. After all, my bookie would cough up big time if I bet on the no-hope Cougars and won.

I boldly led my crew to the coordinates Adam gave us. There I penetrated Malak's defenses and beamed him aboard, no mess and no fuss. Not long afterward, that horny harpy T'Nuk seized a tender moment alone with the prisoner and, while molesting him, accidentally pulled a Lorena Bobbit. But instead of bleeding, shrieking and making sleazy talk-show appearances, Malak died with a bundle of made-in-Japan cables sticking out of his crotch. He was a frickin' android!

Clearly, the Confederation had planned to put this mechanical Malak in the game to guarantee their win, but they'd made us "kidnap" him so that their hands would be clean if the scam was exposed. Now that their 'droid was both a soprano and permanently deactivated, we were kinda screwed.

Here, yours truly concocted a brilliant plan. (Six might have said it before I did, but I thought of it first, and that's my story.) We hunted down the real Malak on his party planet and kidnapped him. He was a reeking, unconscious mass of lard, puke and weird crusty patches, but all it took was a corset and a megashot of pure adrenaline to get him fired up and ready for action.

The crowd went wild when he beamed onto the court.

Then his heart burst out of his chest on the very first play. It was a serious buzzkill, but it meant the game was called off, so we were finally free to go back to pulling our own scams instead of someone else's.

With luck, we'll all end up like Malak someday ? blotto, covered in crust and fondled by cheerleaders.

Hey, a guy can dream.

Production notes

A humorous and sexy send-up of all things SF, following the adventures of The Free Enterprise, a smuggling vessel led by a stumpy purple alien named Chode, who, along with his colorful group of misfit shipmates, battles arch-enemies and new obstacles in space each week.

Chode's crew includes Six, a sexy cyborg who happens to be the most advanced android ever created; Gus, Chode's sexually confused and verbally abused robot slave; T'Nuk, the ship's esthetically challenged pilot; and Whip, Chode's teenage slacker nephew. Spaceship Bob is the fastest ship in the galaxy.
