rest of you?

You boys are gonna

need a leader.

Alone, you wouldn't last

for 5 minutes out there.

I used to be

a mountaineer.

Together...

we can stand against

the forces of nature!

Were you really

a mountaineer?

Sure, ask anybody.

Ask Teddy Roosevelt.

We shot moose together

on the Klondike.

You know,

I was thinking...

you guys will need

somebody bright along.

- Good idea.

- Listen to this.

World War II,

the Normandy Invasion...

and who dare but Lampy

to light the way?

You know...

I thought it would be good

to have somebody come along...

who's really... strong.

- And loud.

- And grumpy!

And oblivious

to reality.

Well?

I just know I'm going

to regret this.

- Yippee!

- Hot dog!

Wow, this is

our last fuse.

Good thing we're

getting out of here.

I've always

loved travel.

The open road,

the wind in my face...

the flies clogging

up my grille.

Yeah? How are

we going to travel?

We could all pile

on top of the bed...

and then Kirby

can push us!

No, no.

Hey, what about

the Master's pogo stick?

That's no good.

How about we're

in the refrigerator...

on a skateboard

and Kirby can pull?

No, no. Hey!

- Shut up.

- Shut up!

Let somebody else

try for a change.

Arise, Hassan.

Arise,

oh magic carpet.

We need a longer cord.

We need an alternate

power source, I say.

- I guess this is it.

- Uh-huh.

Blanket?

Huh?

Ready to go?

Yeah, I'm ready.

Okay, Kirby.

Hmm, shag carpet.

Look, Lampy.

From here you can see

the really big lamp.

Wow!

I wonder where

his switch is?

We are pioneers.

Whoa!

Can't see the road anymore.

Are we going in

the right direction?

I don't think so.

You boys need a navigator.

Navigator?

I'll tune in a radio

signal from the city.

I can take you right there,

lickety-split.

North by northwest.

Watch out for

low-flying aircraft.

- Ow.

- What's wrong?

He stepped on me.

- Did not.

- Did too.

Did too!

Did not!

Hey, come on.

How do you expect us to get

there if you're fighting?

You mean we're

not there yet?

No, not yet.

We got a long

way to go.

Oh, boy,

you're telling me.

# Life is like a journey #

# On the road that's within #

# Head says you should stay #

# But your heart says to begin #

# So you go #

# But you don't

want to go #

#Any life worth living #

# Isn't life just

filled with ease #

#You just stay forgiving #

#Through the forests

and the trees #

#And you'll go #

#Just where you want to go #

#Time flies by

in the city of light #

#Time stands still

in the country #

#There's no time

for a fuss and a fight #

#As we travel the land #

#And I'd

be satisfied #

#Just to be

not denied #

#To reside with some pride #

#While I ride to the city #

Thomas M. Disch

Thomas Michael Disch (February 2, 1940 – July 4, 2008) was an American science fiction author and poet. He won the Hugo Award for Best Related Book – previously called "Best Non-Fiction Book" – in 1999, and he had two other Hugo nominations and nine Nebula Award nominations to his credit, plus one win of the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, a Rhysling Award, and two Seiun Awards, among others. In the 1960s, his work began appearing in science-fiction magazines. His critically acclaimed science fiction novels, The Genocides, Camp Concentration, 334 and On Wings of Song are major contributions to the New Wave science fiction movement. In 1996, his book The Castle of Indolence: On Poetry, Poets, and Poetasters was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and in 1999, Disch won the Nonfiction Hugo for The Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of, a meditation on the impact of science fiction on our culture, as well as the Michael Braude Award for Light Verse. Among his other nonfiction work, he wrote theatre and opera criticism for The New York Times, The Nation, and other periodicals. He also published several volumes of poetry as Tom Disch. Following an extended period of depression following the death in 2005 of his life-partner, Charles Naylor, Disch stopped writing almost entirely, except for poetry and blog entries – although he did produce two novellas. Disch killed himself by gunshot on July 4, 2008 in his apartment in Manhattan, New York City. Naylor and Disch are buried alongside each other at Saint Johns Episcopal Church Columbarium, Dubuque, Iowa. His last book, The Word of God, which was written shortly before Naylor died, had just been published a few days before Disch's death. more…
