Meanwhile... On Rylos-11...

Rylosian 1- Dude! Dude! Look what just came in over the IntraGalactaNET!

Rylosian 2- What? What is it? Settle down.

Rylosian 1- Settle down? Settle down!? Do you know what just happened?

Rylosian 2- No. What happened?

Rylosian 1- Some Earthling just renamed our Sun!

Rylosian 2- So what? Earthlings are always trying to name things. The Milky Way. Right. Milky. That makes a lot of sense.

Rylosian 1- This is different. The name is printed in the astronomical catalog "Your Place in the Cosmos"!

Rylosian 2- Yeah... well... so what? That doesn't mean anything.

Rylosian 1- I'm not finished. Not by a long shot.

Rylosian 2- What do you mean?

Rylosian 1- The book... That hateful, hateful book, "Your Place in the Cosmos"...

Rylosian 2- Yes...?

Rylosian 1- It's registered! It's registered in the US Copyright Office! Get it? Game over! Game over, man!

Rylosian 2- I see. Well... There's nothing to be done now. We have to accept our fate. Damn the US Copyright Office! Damn it all to HELL!

Rylosian 1- Yes! I damn it also to hell!

Rylosian 2- No. You damn it to hell, also. If you say you damn it also to hell, it's as though I had damned something else to hell and you wanted to additionally damn the US Copyright Office to the samesuch hell as I had damned my thing or things.

Rylosian 1- Yes.

Rylosian 2- So. What is the new name of what was once known to us as the sun?

Rylosian 1- Linda.

Rylosian 2- Oh. Well. That's not so bad. Linda's a nice name. Linda. Okay.

Rylosian 1- Kozlowski. Linda Kozlowski.

Rylosian 2- How far is it to Earth?

Rylosian 1- Six squinjillion miles.

Rylosian 2- Get my coat. And The Big Gun.


So, 11-ty million years from now, when the Rylosians get here and blow us all to crap with The Big Gun, you can thank Rocky Mozell.
