[CTP/FITBs]

[It's up to the first poster to come up with a set up, and then each following post will either complete it or fill in the blank(s). And, as always, whoever posts the set up is certainly allowed to post their own completion/fill in as a follow up.]

[CallieWL]

Setup:
Julia failed as a mime because ______.

[Mysterious Benefactor]

"Julia failed as a mime because Parallel Time had been completely spared the art form."

[Uncle Roger]

Of the Yarnell shields.  

[MagnusTrask]

Of the Yarnell shields.  

(Always like a Futurama reference.)

[Mysterious Benefactor]

 , Uncle Roger!! Though I thought that maybe you were doing a riff on Shields and Yarnell, the mime duo...

[Uncle Roger]

That's what I had in mind, MB, though I guess that Futurama beat me to it.

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(  Nonetheless, it was still quite funny - and even more so because you didn't know what Futurama had done!!  )

[Uncle Roger]

  Thank you, MB!

[MagnusTrask]

(On Futurama, on the ship, Fry calls out a command to bring the ship's shields to "maximum Yarnell"...)   

[Uncle Roger]

Cool! 

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(On Futurama, on the ship, Fry calls out a command to bring the ship's shields to "maximum Yarnell"...)

(I wonder how many heads that actually went over? Shields and Yarnell definitely had their time in the spotlight (they even had their own variety show that I can remember watching), but it's not like their legacy is enduring, especially for the younger generation...)
