Driver's Ed, April 21st, Periods 1-2

There are several giant robots.

"If everyone could find the Zord that matches the schematics I assigned you last week, I'd like you to get in the cockpit and start experimenting with the controls. Remember- nothing you do will cause any lasting damage, as this is just a simulation, so don't worry."

"Giraffe!" Tommy says, waving at it. "That one's yours. Just jump in."

"The heck ye say," Barbossa said.

He gave an experimental hop.

Up, up, up...

"This be stranger than zombies," Barbossa muttered before reaching out to push random buttons.

Probably not the best way to drive, B...

Tommy watches worriedly as the GiraffeZord starts moving. And glances nervously at the patch of smoking fake grass that Marty's fake laser beam hit.

Barbossa's eyes lit up. "Thar be weapons on this thing?" he asked, grinning at the smoking patch of grass.

He looked around, hoping for something labeled "cannon" for easy pirate-to-robot translatability.

The GiraffeZord wandered around in a drunken circle as Barbossa tried to figure out how to drive, then gallumphed towards, well, the wall.

Tommy winces as the GiraffeZord headed for the wall. "Veer left! Or right! Or any direction other than straight ahead!"

"Whar be the anchor on this thing?" Barbossa yelled, veering left.

"There isn't any!" Tommy says. "There should be a button labelled 'brakes' on your left hand side, though."

Muttering under his breath about anchors being good enough for him, Barbossa hit the brake button.

The giraffe came to a shuddering halt.

Then Barbossa hit a different button.

Hmm. Might be weapons.

Something hits Anders's T-Rex. It makes his hair stand on end for a few moments, then rocks the entire Zord.

"Whoa!" yells Anders, flailing his arms about exaggeratedly because he has this strange feeling that it's what you're supposed to do. "What the frak was that?"

Don't ask him why he's suddenly punctuating all his dialogue with broad fist pumps and other seemingly random hand gestures.

"Sorry 'bout that!" Barbossa yelled.

His hands flailed. He could be churning butter. Or doing the Cabbage Patch.

Or apologizing using interpretive dance.

Either way, it knocked the joystick, sending the giraffe lurching back towards the wall.

Barbossa then used a fairly universal, if not exactly kids' show appropriate, gesture.
