Have you ever stopped to imagine...
How different things would be today if some prankster had delivered a timely little kick to the emergency stop button of the escalator in Dump Tower during that cursed moment when the Groper and its Escort descended to make The Announcement ?
They’d either have been stuck there, or would have to step down - annoyed and frustrated - while onlookers and Press watched in fascination their exhibition of navigating the escalator’s difficult steps in agonizing slowness.
The Earth might even still have a chance at a future.
Instead, we’ve got the grim nightmare of today.

No escalator, it’d have been over long before the goosestepping through the gazpacho.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
