Using the Free Launch style The Borough of Wellington Leg has launched a satelite to spy on the neighboring community of Goth. Engineers at the Outer Space Institute, next door to the MySpace Institute on Bollywood Drive utilized a spandex launcher to hurl the satellite into orbit. Aided by a stiff southerly breeze and freshening gusts the launch was described as a “compleat success” by Medievalist Jerome of Byzantium who supervised the effort. “We rounded up a bunch of big strong guys who pulled on the launcher in unison.” The Free Launch Method allows the satellite a period of reflection before entering geosynchronus orbit. “That’s the crucial bit,” Jerome explained.
The satellite is very small but is bristling with disposable cameras acquired en masse at Rite Aid. “We got a good deal on the cameras,” Jerome said. “And we picked up some razor blades.”
For weeks The Borough of Wellington Leg has complained about the concentrations of Roman troops near Goth. “They thumbed their nose(s) at us,” Hizzoner said. “Now we’ll see who will be thumbing what at whom.”
The satellite will whiz over Goth every ninety seconds. Already some citizens are complaining: “I can’t get reception,” said Gus of Goth. “I had the Baywatch on, the one where they’re all mean to the new girl…and then boom, it’s Judge Frist’s Dance Party.” Gus did admit to dancing with the Judge. “I voted “guilty” in the earl’s trial,” Gus added. “Now it’s like I’m afraid to turn on the TV.”
