Christmas Cheer

Printer-friendly version
Ms. Peabody and Shermana

Shermana:
Gee, Ms. Peabody, it’s Christmas Eve…do we have to use the Wayback tonight?

Ms. Peabody:
Relax, Shermana….we’ll only be gone a few hours, and we’ll come right back to just a minute after we left, so you won’t miss Christmas. And besides, this is a good way of celebrating Christmas.

Shermana:
What do you mean, Ms. Peabody?

Ms. Peabody:
We’re going to go back and help influence Walter Carlos…the composer? He doesn’t know it yet, but he’s going to make a big change in his life, and we’ll be part of it. He becomes the world famous Wendy Carlos …you know?”

Shermana:
The lady that wrote the soundtrack to Tron? A Clockwork Orange? Switched-on Bach? That Wendy Carlos?

Ms. Peabody:
Yes, Shermana…that Wendy Carlos…she’s going to discover that she’s transgender and it will lead to her having gender confirmation surgery and it will all come from changing instruments back and forth on her Moog synthesizer.

Shermana:
Changing instruments? How will that help her understand that she’s transgender??

Ms. Peabody:
Why Shermana…I‘m surprised at you. Haven’t you ever heard of inter-Saxed?

Merry Christmas!

That's all. Groan!

You are aware that bad puns

You are aware that bad puns are the LOWEST form of humor!

Still, as a fan of Wendy Carlos, even before she changed it was cute.

Lowest form of humor?

This wasn't Ms. Peabody's first adventure into the history of electronic music.
She was also instrumental in the development of the ..... (snicker!) ..... Arf Synthesizer.
(Hey, she started it!)

After the one Miss K. did [ http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/6975/moog-story .... ]
this is absolutely my all-time second favoritest story here involving Wendy Carlos :)

Wendy Carlos

I was not aware of her before, so it was worth the groaner to learn something new.

I like the cartoon! I'd forgotten about Wendy Carlos. Thanks!

Ouch!

It's too much Pun-ishment!

Wren

Owwww!

That was punful!

And it would have to be you, Andrea to pull that off!

Merry Christmas!

Punsters should be Punished! As spoken by that wonderful actress Wilma Powell, playing Nicolette Charles...

We are each exactly as God made us. God does not make mistakes!
