Triangle and Robert #1723	Robert? Was I trying to figure out how to safely launch ham into space or was that another hallucination? / Probably the first one. / Oh good, you have a typewriter. Can you take some dictation? / I was working on my script... go ahead. / Linda mentioned a "railgun rotisserie" as part of her launch preparations.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1723
Triangle and Robert #1724	Hello? This is Robert. Triangle's sleeping again right now, but I have his draft plan for a ham-to-orbit system here. / What was that? The signal's not very clear. Anyway, you'll need to hire an engineer or two to actually assemble it, and you might want to file for air-traffic permits. / You have... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1724
Triangle and Robert #1725	Yeah. Start setting it up on the hospital roof, that should work. / ...roof... / Oh, Triangle's waking up now. You want to talk to him? / Tell them to set up the launch site as far away from this hospital as possible! / He sounds mad. Maybe this is a bad time. / Tell them now! I am not in any condition... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1725
Triangle and Robert #1726	Meet the inevitable flaming ball of fleas? / Boil the inevitable fleam meeting of flame! / Flame the inevitable bawling flea of matte! / Tame the innovatively sprawling sea of fat! / You mean your mom? / What? / Sorry, I got carried away. / We don't have a mom. / Why am I holding a phone? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1726
Triangle and Robert #1727	Heh. What were we talking about? / Impending doom of some sort? / That's what we're usually talking about. Can you be more specific? / You didn't want them to build the launch prototype on the hospital roof? / That was it. Even if the launch itself goes right the railgun is likely to explosively overheat.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1727

Triangle and Robert #1728	My vertex seems to be improving. How's your... what's wrong with you, exactly? / People have been trying to figure that out my whole life. / I'm going to request a reduction in my pain regimen. I'd rather cope with pain than be unable to tell when I'm being an idiot. / Yeah, half the fun of being an idiot... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1728
Triangle and Robert #1729	I can... deal with this. It's... not that painful. Just one vertex... out of three. I'll be fine. / Do you think the railgun design will work? / Not on the first try. These things take testing. Before we get it right, we need to find out how it goes wrong. / Right. I'll call them back and make sure they... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1729
Triangle and Robert #1730	That was a lot of screaming. / Shut up! I don't want to hear you! / Maybe you should... / No! No more painkillers! Shut up about it! Shut up about everything! / I'll be working on my script for "Taco Versus Clam" then. / Turn the typewriter down. I'm trying to stay sane here. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1730
Triangle and Robert #1731	Sorry I yelled. How's the script coming aLONG? OW? OW OW OW? / Pretty well. Want to read the draft so far? / Probably not. What's it about? / Taco becomes a cartoonist. / There's no way they'll accept that. I barely follow the show and even I know you can't do that. / Why not? / Taco represents the world... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1731
Triangle and Robert #1732	Who said that? / I did. / I thought I heard... never mind. Anyway, yes, I'm positive about the allegory thing. / In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the show was backed... wait. "Taco Versus Clam is brought to you by Tater Fizz." We KNOW it's backed by the anti-Cartoonist groups! / So there's no chance... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1732

Triangle and Robert #1733	W... wh... / You're awake? / Uh... / You passed out from pain and spent the last few days twitching comatosely. / Red card, invalid adverbial form! / Red? / Sure, why not. / Can I appeal? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1733
Triangle and Robert #1734	How much longer do I have to stay here? My vertex seems more or less fine. / You'll have to ask the doctors. / How are you doing? / I think I'll be discharged tonight. / That's good. What was wrong with you, anyway? / By the way, the test launch failed. The spit reached near-orbit, but the ham detached... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1734
Triangle and Robert #1735	It seems clear enough from the photos. The spit was too smooth and the ham slid. / "Spit" is such an unappetizing word. / Really, a threaded one would be best. More of a bolt, in fact. / That's dull! Can we jazz it up somehow? / I supposed it's not technically rocket science.... / Let's hear your idea. / I'm... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1735
Triangle and Robert #1736	Molybdenum! / Is that in reference to the ham bolt or a random outburst? / Must you always pin me down to a single meaning? / Not ferromagnetic, anyway. I think we need to stick with iron. / We need wackiness. / Robert, we're already designing a system to launch HAM into ORBIT with a RAILGUN. / Can we... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1736
Triangle and Robert #1737	It looks good. A bit of scarring, but that should be barely noticeable in a few years. / I... guess... / So, I see no reason you couldn't be out of here tomorrow night or the morning after. / How long have I been in here, anyway? / It's been a few months. / Months... oh well. It all had to be done. Hopefully... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1737

Triangle and Robert #1738	What? / What? / It's progress anyway. I'm not the chef, but I think the next step is developing a heat proof glaze. / Oh, the ham burned up? / Let me put Triangle on. / We need to outsource. Try to get the Metamorphic Sentry on board. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1738
Triangle and Robert #1739	I came, but surely you meant to ask for the Meat Sentry's aid and not mine? / She isn't a friend. You are, and what we need isn't strictly meat. / I was under the impression that this was a paid subcontracting. / It is. It's also not work for an unpredictable berserker. We need a heat-resistant ham glaze,... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1739
Triangle and Robert #1740	We must not copy the recipes of the Meat Sentry, even accidentally. I speak from experience. / Right... the way the food groups are divided, one Sentry wouldn't be able to work with another's unique recipes.... / I don't know about that. I just do not wish her to hammer me into the ground. / This refers... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1740
Triangle and Robert #1741	The situation calls for an edible ceramic or acrylic. / There are edible ceramics and acrylics? / Not yet. There has been no incentive for such research. / So we're looking at a lengthy scientific and engineering process. / Not necessarily. If Orpuddex assists us and luck is on our side it could take... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1741
Triangle and Robert #1742	Fellow Sentry, I come seeking your aid! / Gaze not upon me, mortal! / Were Starhams to be mass-produced, the benefit to the world has the potential to be great. I wish to devise a glaze capable of protecting a launched ham from the hazards of the upper atmosphere. / You meddle in forces too dangerous.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1742

Triangle and Robert #1743	So you're saying if we make the Starhams we'll be strengthening the MSG entity. / Yes. The risk should not be taken. / Robert and I have a commission to fulfill. How else will we pay our hospital bills? / I understand your situation. To antagonize a hospital would be a grave error in your line of work. / My... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1743
Triangle and Robert #1744	Perhaps, though Starhams are not safely available, some other means of magical curative could fulfill your commission. / Don't all cuisine-magic cures involve sodium? / To some degree, but if we do not involve meats there should be no risk of glutamate formation. / If you're suggesting Startofu I think... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1744
Triangle and Robert #1745	May I make a suggestion? / Only if it has no connection whatsoever with the Fondue of Four Thousand Cheeses. / Wait. Let's do it. / What? / This discussion's been dragging on for too many strips. Let's just come to a conclusion and run with it. / But last time... / That won't happen again. It was too improbable... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1745
Triangle and Robert #1746	That was an interesting decision you made. / I know I'll regret it, but I'm curious to find out exactly how. / I'm worried that I'll have to be responsible now to compensate. / Agreeing to the Fondue is that bad? / It's not bad at all if you like things that go horribly wrong. I'm looking forward to... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1746
Triangle and Robert #1747	It's not that much of a scar. You could probably pass for asymmetric. / I don't want to pass for asymmetric. / Well, it could open up new opportunities. / I think I need to interject here. Humans tend to consider symmetry aesthetically pleasing. / That's odd. / Perhaps, but it makes your world's situation... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1747

Triangle and Robert #1748	Among polygons, it is a somewhat commonly held, but scientifically unsupported, belief that a polygon's intelligence or / virtue is related to the information content of the polygon's external shape. Symmetric polygons thus face frequent discrimination. / You've done a lot of oversimplifying in this... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1748
Triangle and Robert #1749	Where were we before that intrusive but necessary narrative interlude? / Fondue and scarring. / Right... I might be making bad decisions because my disfigurement is bothering me. / Or "refigurement". / "Dis-" as far as I'm concerned. I think I get my aesthetic sense more from the Cartoonist than from... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1749
Triangle and Robert #1750	It's not too late to change your mind. Those cheeses take a while to assemble. / I want to go ahead with it. / Somehow it doesn't feel like as bad an idea as it should. / But that could just be your wound. / Robert? / Yeah? / You're being too rational. Don't go out of character just to sustain conflict. / ...... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1750
Triangle and Robert #1751	No, I'm still against it. Since you're going to do it anyway, I'm going to make sure there are no impurities. / We can't be sure. / I think we can. I am going to inspect the !&}$ out of every last cheese. / Me too. Still technically not enough. The smallest traces can ruin everything. / Hence the !&}$.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1751
Triangle and Robert #1752	The cheeses are gathered, measured, and inspected. Suddenly, I'm hesitant. / Good. Let's stop. / I can't. Whatever the reasons for the Fondue, it must be the key to my past. / Was your memory this screwed up before the first battle against Orpuddex? / I can't remember. / I think we should check something... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1752
