I'm surprised more people haven't made this connection
(Penny:)
"What will we do tonight, Brain?"

(Brain:)
"The same thing we do every night, Penny ... try to help Inspector Gadget!"

(*MUSIC STARTS*)

They're Penny and the Brain
Yes, Penny and the Brain
One's kinda furry,
the other's sorta plain
While Penny's fighting crime
She's captured all the time
... Then rescued
They're Penny and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain

When Gadget's note explodes
Right in Chief Quimby's face
These two go on the road
To save him from disgrace

They're Penny and The Brain
Yes, Penny and The Brain
Her e-book's arcane
He suffers lots of pain
When MAD unveils a plot
They'll give that cat what's what
'Til "next time!"
They're Penny and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Wowsers!

* Blame [info]krinndnz, who is completely innocent, but who got me searching the web in the first place for a picture of the MAD Cat from Inspector Gadget. Then this idea got stuck in my head ... and wouldn't let go.

Current Mood: silly
Current Music: guess.

Note to self: Must find some old Gadget toons on YouTube, take screencaps (since apparently there are like three pictures of Penny and Brain on Google Image Search), and make an animated icon out of this.

... Someday.

I hope it is within my power to award you an additional Internet with the Silver DHCP of Merit.

However, I will be very disappointed if you don't find a way to use a picture of the MAD Cat at my place. Failing that, I will accept a picture of a Madcat, but not with PPCs.

I'm really embarrassed about this -- it not only dates me, but also shows the true depths of my geek streak -- but my first impulse was to think "Can you even put PPCs on a Madcat?"

Apparently Madcat PPCs = new-school. Madcat AFC = old-school [source].

Oh, man. Now I'm tempted to find a MAD Cat photo (like the one here?), and photoshop a pair of LRM-15s on it.

I'll see your geek streak and raise you

Not only is it possible to put dual PPCs on a MadCat, but it's canon.*

Alternate Configuration A
2 ER PPCs
3 Medium Pulse Lasers
STREAK SRM 6

*In a projected particle sorta way. But it's also in the rule book...

Why be embarassed? I was feeding you a straight line with exactly that in mind.

Hee hee hee.

As [info]starlightforest says, you win at Internet!

I loved Penny as a kid. She was my hero. I always wanted a computer book just like hers.

This is even more amusing because yesterday we (the programming department) decided that we needed a theme song and the Inspector Gadget theme song was going to be it. :)

Never mind that, where's my Gadget bionics?

(And where's my flying car? The Jetsons lied to us!)
