Tesla Vs. Willy Wonka

[Simon of the Playa]

which side are you on?

[FossaFerox]

So... steampunk vs hippies? Just like every year?

[Simon of the Playa]

faith vs. fact
magic vs. science
spirituality vs. technology
G*d or no god.

theme or no theme


I'll take "no theme" for $600, Alex.

just heard something on my way home that fits this.
"Magic is openness to ALL collaboration"

[CleCub]

Just wondering if Willy Wonka's factory was powered by electricity or magic?

[FossaFerox]

Just wondering if Willy Wonka's factory was powered by electricity or magic?

Slave labor, I think.

[CleCub]

Right...I forgot about the little orange guys. The factory runs off of the crushed hopes and dreams or enslaved oompa-loompas.

[Ugly Dougly]

Which one has better kandy?

Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination

[Aurelia]

wear your toe shoes

all of the above in rhythm

The factory runs off of the crushed hopes and dreams of enslaved oompa-loompas.

shhhhh, do you want larry to hear you? the org does not take kindly to criticism.

[Major Krash]

Right...I forgot about the little orange guys. The factory runs off of the crushed hopes and dreams or enslaved oompa-loompas.

They're the ones that took the red brick road, instead of the yellow brick road.....

[some seeing eye]

Reality v Fiction is an easy choice. YMMV.

[Simon of the Playa]

i don't know if they can handle the truth, after all, it is much stranger.

[theCryptofishist]

OMG! that's brilliant!

[some seeing eye]

60,000 Oompa Loompas can't be wrong, right? Is Charlie Bucket the nonprofit? Who is Slugworth?

[CleCub]

Why is it that 60, 000 Oompa Loompas are willing to work indoors, 24 hours a day, year round, taking orders from some crazy antisocial dude in a purple suit. Half of the factory is probably a meth lab.....Think about it. Most of the factory is off limits durin the tour and you can tell Ol' Willy is dipping into his private stash.

[Simon of the Playa]

all of a sudden, Breaking Bad seems tame by comparison.

[CleCub]

I'm tellin you...his birth name was William Heisenberg.

[GreyCoyote]

William was the name Werner gave the SPCA when they came inquiring about an allegedy abused cat...

I hate to do this, but Simon, you left out one:

TESLA *******************WONKA********************************BUCKAROO BANZAI


scientist................chocolatier...............scientist,neurosurgeon,martial artist,musician

dies penniless..........wealthy beyond your wildest dreams.........very wealthy

worked alone...........small army of Oompah Loompahs...........worked with Team Banzai

Gov't stole Secret Work....Gobstopper formula safe..........oscillation overthruster safe

Edison...................Slugworth..............................John Bigbooty

Electricity...............the Power of Candy................kickass music and a safe world

Crossing the 8th dimension through the side of a mountain and saving the world seem to be so much more fun.

Add a flux capcitor and Banzai would have been set.

[Simon of the Playa]

in my top five all time faves.

[Lonesomebri]

So, yeah, will it be a Tesla coil, or Everlasting Gobstoppers that the hippies will be digging in the dust for after the temple burn?
