## Summary

Sailors Stan and Ollie disembark and book into a sleazy hotel. Owner Mugsie Long intends to marry a young girl against her wishes, but Stan and Ollie come to her rescue. They throw billiard balls at his head to knock him out, only to see them bounce off his head with no effect to him whatsoever. After fleeing the hotel, the boys find out they've left their money in their room, but an old pal of Ollie's offers $50 if Ollie will fight in a boxing ring that night. Ollie agrees but predictably makes Stan the fighter and himself the manager. Stan's opponent is Mugsie himself. Ollie makes a seemingly wise bet with a drunk on Mugsie to win. The drunk accepts the bet, making himself seem to Ollie a sucker. Seeing Stan as his opponent, Mugsie loads his glove with metal before the fight begins. However, during the course of the fight, Mugsie and Stan accidentally switch gloves, causing Mugsie to comically run away from Stan knowing he has the loaded glove. Stan, who doesn't realize the glove is loaded despite it weighing his arm down, manages to knock out Mugsie when the latter tries to pull the loaded glove off Stan's hand and winds up knocking himself out. Ollie winces in defeat while the drunk chuckles in triumph. Mugsie's second calls a policeman and tells him Stan had been fighting with a loaded glove. Ollie is forced to give the drunk the money they received for entering the fight, to Stan's consternation. Ollie explains, "I bet on you to lose and you double-crossed me!" Stan, enraged at his own buddy and manager betting against him, starts to knock Ollie out cold, but as he draws his fist back, he accidentally knocks out the policeman investigating about the loaded glove. Stan and Ollie flee the stadium in terror.

Later, in the car, Ollie repeats Stan's question sarcastically, then asks Stan, "Couldn't you see that he was annoyed?"

The clearly frightened boys make plans to move far away and advertise for someone to go with them and share the travel expenses, namely Butch's girlfriend. Butch soon escapes by leaping from a train, and makes his way to his girlfriend's apartment. When Stan and Ollie ring the bell, Butch thinks it's the cops at the door and hides in a large trunk. The trunk gets locked and Butch can't get out. The boys do their best to get him out, not realizing who the trapped person really is. After several inept attempts at freeing him, Butch recognizes Ollie through a bored hole. His suggestion of using a blowtorch to melt the lock off backfires as Butch is set on fire. The boys hose Butch down and he frees himself from the trunk, taking his promised revenge on them as the cops arrive shortly afterwards.

## Summary

Ollie is preparing to wed the daughter of a wealthy oil magnate, Peter Cucumber. His friend, Stan, is the best man. While visiting Ollie in the morning, Stan reveals his wedding present – a jigsaw puzzle. The boys soon become preoccupied with the puzzle, as do other people – a taxi driver, Ollie's butler, a telegram delivery boy, even a cop. Cucumber is enraged at the delay at his daughter's wedding (especially after Stan has a wreath delivered to the reception), and makes his way to Ollie's house. The jigsaw puzzle is almost completed except for one elusive missing piece. The cop insists that no one can leave the house until it is found, including Cucumber. "I don't care if he's Mr. Dill Pickle", sneers the cop, unimpressed. A fight breaks out, leading to a police raid in which all are arrested except Stan and Ollie, who hide themselves. The puzzle gets knocked over in the mayhem. Ollie's telegram is from his broker, advising him to quickly sell his shares in The Great International Horsecollar Corporation, but a radio newsflash says the company took a tremendous crash and failed. Despite Stan's assurance that prosperity is just around the corner, Ollie angrily tells him to leave. As he leaves, Stan finds the jigsaw's missing piece, but before he can do anything more, a furious Ollie throws him out of the house.

The landlord eventually orders them to leave, but as the boys pack, Stan receives a telegram which states that he is to receive a huge inheritance from a deceased uncle, providing he sever all ties with Ollie, whom his uncle felt was responsible for Stan's deplorable condition. Ollie is outraged that Stan won't share the contents of the telegram with him, but is humble and understanding when he does read it. Stan decides to stay, mostly so he won't have to leave Laughing Gravy behind.

## Cast

## Trivia

* This three-reel version was the original one, as Hal Roach had tried to switch to the three-reel format for Laurel & Hardy shorts, starting with *The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case*. Just after it was completed, MGM asked Roach to limit short films to two reels, and an alternative ending was shot instead. The three-reel version had already been previewed, and a work print was rediscovered in 1985.

The two-reel version and the first two reels of the three-reel version are identical except that the two-reel version ends with the landlord committing suicide when, due to his residence being quarantined, he finds he is unable to evict Stan and Ollie.
Dark entity leader

In the newest released season a leader of the dark entity army has been introduced. The leader, known as Zero, is an above godlike figure wearing black military armor. Unlike all the other dark entities, Zero actually has eyes thus giving Zero an identity. Zero is considered one of the most powerful gods because of Zero being a god, the leader of the dark entity army and also being a dark entity himself, being immune to single military units and other non-energy units. Zero has been slightly introduced and already the powers he possesses seem to be really powerful. His introduction scene included him walking calmly through a regular police office showing off his skills, probably to let the viewer know what Zero is capable of.
Wrong Again

**Wrong Again** is a *Laurel & Hardy* silent short film released 23 February 1929.

## Summary

Stable grooms Stan and Ollie overhear news of a $5,000 reward for the return of the stolen painting The Blue Boy, but think the reward is for the horse at their barn named Blue Boy. When they bring the horse to the painting's owner, he speaks to them from an upstairs window where he can't see the steed; he tells them to bring Blue Boy in the house and put "him" on the piano. This triggers a running gag where Ollie explains patiently to Stan that the rich are different from you and me. He punctuates his lesson with a twisting gesture of his hand to demonstrate the 180-degree difference between the classes.

The three clump through the front door while the millionaire upstairs takes a bath — "and it ain't even Saturday." Ollie has an altercation with a nude statue, which snaps into three pieces after the two tumble to the floor. Hardy, ever the gentleman, safeguards the statue's modesty by wrapping its bare torso in his coat while he reassembles it. When the statue is back upright and Ollie removes the coat, the torso segment is backwards, so its backside protrudes out from where its midriff should be.

Meanwhile, the suddenly obstreperous Blue Boy chases Stanley around the house. The police have recovered the Blue Boy painting and are making plans to return it. Working together, Stan and Ollie manage to lead the horse to the grand piano, and he leaps up on it. The millionaire upstairs in his tub hears the commotion below.

Blue Boy stands calmly, when suddenly a piano leg gives way and Ollie is left literally holding things up, about a ton of piano and horse. The horse keeps nudging Stan's derby off his head and Stan opts to keep retrieving the hat rather than help Ollie. They finally get the piano leg wedged back under the instrument, but not before Ollie's head gets squished between the two.

The millionaire's mother returns home and gives the funniest look to her bizarrely deformed statue. The police arrive with the real Blue Boy painting. The millionaire descends from his bath to reveal the misunderstanding. Ollie twiddles his tie, apologizes for the "faux pas" and he and Stan and Blue Boy make a hasty exit, followed by the irate millionaire with a shotgun. The priceless painting is knocked on top of one of the detectives, whose face pops through the canvas, replacing Blue Boy's face. The officer's rump smokes from the shotgun blast.

Ganymede

Ganymede is the seventh satellite of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system. It is one of the "Galilean moons", the four largest moons of Jupiter that were discovered by Galileo Galilei.

It is the only moon with any magnetosphere making it the only place where dome-grown crops stood a chance in Jupiter's harsh radiation belt. It can be thought of as a place of harvest, and definitely a lynch pin in food economy in the belt. Large mirrors were placed around the planet, most likely to supply the Sun's light to the surface for crop growth.

It claims the lowest amount of birth defects and stillbirths. This being the case, many women come to Ganymede to deliver. It is the center of what made human expansion to the outer planets possible.

Ganymede Station was one of the first permanent human settlements in the outer planets, built as a long term colony with large domes filled with food crops. It is known as the safest station in the Jovian system.

The surface gravity of Ganymede is around 0.15g.
Laurel & Hardy

**Laurel & Hardy** were a comedy double act during the early Classical Hollywood era of American cinema. The team was composed of English thin man Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and American fat man Oliver Hardy (1892–1957). They became well known during the late 1920s through the mid-1940s for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy and childlike friend of the pompous bully Hardy. The duo's signature tune is known variously as "The Cuckoo Song", "Ku-Ku", or "The Dance of the Cuckoos". It was played over the opening credits of their films and has become as emblematic of the duo as their bowler hats.

Prior to emerging as a team, both actors had well-established film careers. Laurel had appeared in over 50 films while Hardy had been in more than 250 productions. The two comedians had previously worked together as cast members on the film The Lucky Dog in 1921. However, they were not a comedy team at that time and it was not until 1926 that they appeared in a movie short together, when both separately signed contracts with the Hal Roach film studio. Laurel and Hardy officially became a team in 1927 when they appeared together in the silent short film *Putting Pants on Philip*. They remained with the Roach studio until 1940 and then appeared in eight "B" movie comedies for 20th Century Fox and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer from 1941 to 1945. After finishing their movie commitments at the end of 1944, they concentrated on performing in stage shows and embarked on a music hall tour of England, Ireland, and Scotland.

Stan and Ollie are busking on a snowy winter's day, but playing "In the Good Old Summertime". They are excited to hear a clink in their cup, but surprised to find it's an egg from a pigeon above. Stan throws a snowball at the pigeon, but hits a man in the window. He throws one back and it lands in a passing woman's pail of milk. She thinks Stan and Ollie threw it, so she smashes the egg in Ollie's face. Stan throws her milk pail in the street and Ollie laughs so she smashes his cello over his head, then tosses Stan's organ in the street where a truck runs over it.

Stan finds a wallet in the snow. They are chased by a thief, but are protected by a police officer. Stan and Ollie share a meal with the cop, but when he goes to pay, Stan realizes the wallet in fact belongs to the cop. When the policeman discovers this he tells the waiter who throws them out of the restaurant and dumps Stan headfirst in a rain barrel. Oliver finds Stan and asks what happened to him. Stan explains that he was thrown in a barrel of water, but Ollie looks in and asks "Where's the water?" Stan says he drank it.

Sacrifice Guild

*Unfinished article.*

## Sacrifice

The Sacrifice Guild (S/S.G.) is an extremist guild following demonic, satanic and sadistic rituals created just to torture innocent ones. Sacrifice was created in 1107 Y.C. by an unknown satanist. The Sacrifice follows the laws of the Infectious, which is similar to what nihilists follow. The Sacrifice is mostly known for removing a victim's body part (mostly skin because that wouldn't kill the victim) and replacing it with a piece originally belonging to a puppet, stuffed animal or toy robot. In 1112 Y.C. the Sacrifice Guild's headquarters were found and destroyed by the orders of King J. I.

## Summary

Ollie is in the hospital with a broken leg. Since he did not have anything else to do, Stan pays him a visit, bearing a "thoughtful" gift of hard-boiled eggs and nuts. Ollie complains he cannot eat hard-boiled eggs or nuts and asks Stan why he did not bring a box of candy. Stan explains boxes of candy cost too much and that Ollie did not pay him for the last box he had brought him. While eating an egg, Stan knocks over a jug of water and Ollie hits him on the head with a bedpan. Dr. Gilbert comes in to examine Ollie and tells him he should be in the hospital at least two months, to Ollie's delight; this is the first time he remembers having such a wonderful rest. But Stan causes so much trouble, the angry Dr. Gilbert orders both patient and guest out of the hospital at once. "You had nothing else to do so you thought you'd come around and see me," says an irritated Ollie. "Here I was for the first time in my life having a nice peaceful time and you had to come and spoil it. Get my clothes." Before leaving, Stan first manages to destroy a pair of trousers belonging to Ollie's roommate and then accidentally sits on a hypodermic needle loaded with a sedative. The nurse comes in, discovers this and nearly collapses into hysterics. Stan drives Ollie home, but is nearly asleep at the wheel thanks to the sedative, and the car careens wildly through the busy streets, until Stan finally smashes it between two streetcars, bending the car so that he can only drive round and round in circles.
