I am going to quote the transformers on this one.

Optimus Prime: Hi, I'm Optimus Prime. What you've just seen was a dramatization of what you, your friends, and your family go through if you don't get regular prostate exams. Now we Transformers don't have organic internal organs, and can't get cancer. But you do, and you can.

So, a pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel down the front of his pants. The bartender looks at him and asks, "Hey, you know you have a steering wheel sticking out of the front of your pants?"

Sadly, we don't have a president where I live, and I am not eligible to run in the US either. And to be honest, it would not be pleasant for a lot of people if I got that level of political power.

Well, while *I* didn't get eaten by a plant, one of the engineers did, fortunately we managed to cut him out of it before he got digested, so all he ended up with was a rash.

So, what did I actually do while I was away? Well, I went off to save the galaxy *again*. Always some knucklehead nihilist that want to end it all, or some eldritch evil that needs to be put down, or someone playing with stuff way, way, way, out of their league.

As for the winner, it's...

*drumroll*

@spacemonaut for Krishnath of the High Seas. (and because it allowed me to post a very bad pirate joke. Incidentally, you may think that a pirates favorite letter is R, but it's first love is the C. )

Honorable mention goes to the rest of you crazy, crazy, people. You genuinely made me laugh out loud multiple times.

Good morning, San Diego! It's a beautiful day out there, and we hope you're all making the best of it. What a great way to forget about the night terrors.

In place of the sunny day, looks like we're going to have some some brisk wind coming in from the ocean.

Maybe very chilly!

Maybe ridiculously warm!

Probably not both!

That's a really novel way to do things, right? We've seen either/or from Ravnica, but not a choice like this, right?

You're right! Let's find out more about the regional weather.

Hello! I am weather, let me tell you the Brick. Today's weather is: Poopy.

Now Brick, are you sure that's appropriate language for television?

No. Yes! It's true. It says so right here.

Wait, is that Jump-Start in black? That's a really nice use of it, too.

Hold on, I need to get to the bottom of this "poopy" thing. Let's go to the live feed.

Alright, we're back, San Diego. Veronica's taking a brief break for some psychological counselling and I have consumed an entire bottle of scotch. Anyway we weren't kidding about that breezy weather. Stay indoors, everyone!

There's fire!

Thank you Brick. Yes there is. There's some very impressive fire and flooding out there. Oh, Brick's on fire. Someone had better tend to that. And everyone's running to the safe room, so I think that'd better be me. Stay classy, San Diego!
