I will upvote any story in which the word "smithereens" is used.

Dogs , cops, oak trees, journalists ... 6 cops ( George from Zanthar )
The original Terminator , smirk / packaged in a delightful expressionism

1 officer, one balloon pop.
6 officers, one balloon pop.
A whole town meeting, one balloon pop.
A whole squadron of jets, one balloon pop.
...Those times when imagination provided the special effects, at the sound of a pop!

[@lawlaw295]

That weapon sounds really powerful: Zzztt...pop!.

[@antwan1357]

This kind of radio program is sooooooo '50's early '60's. At the time, they were
really out there LOL Early shows of Journey into Space are so much better. . .
X Minus One programs are so fun for the most part and more sophisticated :}

[@mikethomas2641]

Alexa Penn Doesn't matter to me.It was a product of it's time and I enjoyed it."Sophisticated" or not.

[@feralbluee]

@@mikethomas2641 Hi - didn't mean to put down this scfi show. glad you enjoyed it!!! ironic statement > i've never enjoyed anything unsophisitcated myself LOL :} i love the movie "Them". it's one from the 50's, i think, and it's B&W. if you haven't seen it, you'd really like it. there are a few others from the same time that are real classics. have fun and keep safe :}

[@mikethomas2641]

Thank You 🚀

[@jeaniecassel3188]

I want one !

[@jamessnee7171]

Turns out that we don't need human sized robots to vacuum the house or drive the car.
The vacuum and the car do it themselves. We have little robots inside our toasters and fridge.

[@algernonsidney3982]

Reminiscent of the movie Village of the Damned.

[@maxwellmorgan8014]

And don't forget it !

[@firstlylastly9155]

I never forgave George for the little dog across the street.

The game of rat and dragon..cordwaine r smith..Trust me.

[@deadsi]

Lol, the policeman was willing to shoot it for refusing to move? Seems like a little bit of an overreaction

[@checkmate440]

Was this a real story?

[@wesleyrodgers886]

No, of course not. Just ignore those men in black suits outside your window.

[@louisbrugnoni1291]

Plymouth roadrunner Was that a real question?

[@Eidolon1andOnly]

Of course it is a real story, it exists doesn't it? Real doesn't always mean true.

[@jeffdixon5853]

It was real and true, however names and colors were changed to protect innocent blue creatures .
