Lark: I have come across
the most amazing thing in of my kingdom!
Me: What? If its another catnip spree forget it. I am not buying any more catnip, No more catnip smoothies, or catnip grass or catnip toast. You broke the toaster.
Lark: No, I have found music!
Me: Well, yeah, I mean I play it everyday - you didn't observe it before? I play it EVERY day. I thought cats observed things.
Lark: Don't insult me, I only observe important things. I have now found music to be important along with catnip, cheese (cheese lures mice) -
Me, softly: only in cartoons
Lark: and crackers. But music is new, and I love it. I must here more and I demand you bring me more.
Me: Okay flip the radio stations then.
Lark, folding his legs and adjusting his monocle: No, I demand you do it. I desire to hear Queen, David Bowie, Maddonna, the rolling stones and taylor swift.
Me: I can't stream music.
Lark: Your box says you can.
Me: What box???
Lark: Alexa, Are you not the human version of the robot everyone has, in the height of popularity today>
Me: No!
Lark: Play music. Alexa, play music!
Me: No!
Lark, thinking a minute.: Then bring me catnip.
Me: Yes! (thinking, I am going to change my name, and go to the flea market to get my cat his own radio.)

Mark's Addition: -sigh- At least Alexa is free from those problems in the Mark Borne Alternate Universe.
Queen and David Bowie, great choices.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know -shrug-
DeleteI like Queen, not too familiar with David Bowie, but from the songs I've heard theyre both good xD
DeleteI remember this oneeee :D
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny. Lark has great tastes in rock. I wish my cats liked rock music that much. -sigh-
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this was awesome and every time I read Lark Adventures, there’s a smile on my face. Awesome work on this!
Great story but now I'm afraid that Alexa now obeys cats. I don't trust that tech that talks to me. Has anyone seen 2001 the movie? It has a scene was Hal the intelligent computer assistant tryes to kill everyone because his computer processing system gets overloaded. Another great movie about robots taking over is Matrics. But I really don't trust technology.
ReplyDeleteThis is still one of my favorite series. Long live Lark!
ReplyDeleteLol We've gotta be careful, though, Lark is an invasive species. You saw what he did to Lucas Stories xD
