And now for something completely different.
Attack of the Cubblies
“Your Majesty, after several failed attempts, we finally managed to capture one of the invading Cubblies. It’s imprisoned in one of the outbuildings.
“Well, can you interrogate it?” the king asked. “Find out what they want, man!”
“It’s just too cute, your Majesty,” the captain said, his face reddening. “The first man who tried to interrogate it untied it and was going to bring it home as a present for his children.”
“Well, find someone who isn’t so damned sentimental then.”
“We did, I’m afraid. That first man we chose was Major Hickens, who is the most bitter, misanthropic man we’ve got. The others don’t stand a chance.”
“You’d better kill it then. We can’t take any chances.”
“How are we going to do that, your Majesty? None of the men will put a hand on it.”
“Well, dammit man! Thank of a way. One of you throw a bag over it, hand to another and get him to drop it in the river. Use your creativity.”
There was a thud on the roof. “What’s that?”
“They’re catapulting themselves over the walls, your Majesty.”
The window smashed and a fluffy, round Cubbly bounced towards the throne. Its wide, liquid eyes sparkled and it stretched out stubby arms towards the king as it tottered towards him. “I wuv you!”
“Aww, that’s adorable,” the king said. “Let’s surrender.”

Possibly. I havent seen many of them but it would be their type of twist.

🙂 Aw they are so sweet, but do they come in peace? What is it that the Cubblies want?

What indeed. 🙂 Let’s assume they don’t come in peace. That makes it creepier.

Maybe they are. 🙂 That’s the worst kind of enemy, the kind that you don’t even have the will to fight against.

I fully agree. Most people, sane ones will realize too late that they are actually vile.
