[UA] Kirk is the Comte?

[Chad Underkoffler]

Check this:


====================
[from ST ep "A Piece of the Action"]

Kirk: The name of the game is called... Fizzbin. Each player
gets 6 cards, except for the player on the dealer's right, who
gets 7. 

Thug: On the right. 

Kirk: Yeah. The second card is turned up, except on Tuesdays. 

Thug: Tuesday. 

Kirk: Ohh! Look what you've got- 2 jacks. You got a half-fizzbin
already. 

Thug: I need another jack? 

Kirk: No. If you got another jack, why you'd have a shralk. 

Thug: A shralk? 

Kirk: Yes, you'd be disqualified. No, what you need now is
either a king and a deuce, except at night, of course, when
you'd need a queen and a four. 

Thug: Except at night. 

Kirk: Right. Oh, look at that, you've got another jack! How
lucky you are! How wonderful for you! Now if you didn't get
another jack, if you had gotten a king, why then you'd get
another card except when it's dark , when you'd have to give it
back. 

Thug: If it were dark on Tuesday. 

Kirk: Yes, but what you're after is a royal fizzbin, but the
odds of getting a royal fizzbin are astron - Spock, what are the
odds on getting a royal fizzbin? 

Spock: I have never computed them, Captain. 

Kirk: Well, they're astronomical, believe me. Now, for the last
card, we'll call it a kronk. You got that? 

Thug: What? 
(chaos ensues) 

====================

I think the Comte develops rituals this way.

Well, a cross between the above and these:

====================
Willy Wonka : "How can you whip cream without whips? Whipped
cream isn't whipped cream at all unless it's been whipped with
whips. Just as a poached egg isn't a poached egg unless it's
been stolen from the woods in the dead of night!" (from the
book)

--------------------
Willy Wonka: "Invention, my dear friends, is ninety-three
percent perspiration, six percent electricity, four percent
evaporation, and two percent butterscotch ripple." (from the
movie)

--------------------

[insert any random ritual from Grant Morrison's INVISIBLES]

====================

Tasty.

this is madness; to seek treasure where there is only 
trash! And maddest of all -- to pursue life as it is and 
not as it should be!"  -- Cervantes
