So, a bunch of guys are camping out in the desert. Two of them - an older gentleman and a younger gentleman who may or may not be related to Sylvester Stallone - are taking advantage of the opportunity their camping situation provides to sit in a tent and pretend to be in "Game of Thrones" or "The Lord of the Rings". They've set the tent up nicely and the role play is going pretty well when they are alerted to a potentially alarming situation developing outside their tent. They emerge to find 4 oversized microwaves cresting the dunes in the dark. Odd as that is, things get even weirder when the microwave doors open from the top and dozens of men dressed in Q-tip costumes descend into their midst.
It's not a friendly visit, and lots of people get hurt. Including one of the identical men in Q-tip costume. The tag must've been showing on his costume or something because upon seeing him fall, a fellow Q-tipper reacts with alarm and recognition and hurries to his side. Injured Q-tip seems to have gotten some paint or jam on his hand, and, as a parting gesture before he exits the realm of the living, smears the red goop all over the headpiece of Q-tip To The Rescue Who May Or May Not Have X-Ray Vision (but must, if we dismiss the tag theory).
Having obliterated the campground, the microwaves filled with Q-tips return to their home base, where Q-tip TTR (as we'll call him now) tries to take off his costume, seeing as how it's become soiled. He is taken to task over this gaffe by a lady clothed entirely in aluminum foil, but somehow somewhere finds time to launder his headpiece, because the next time we see QTTR, he is backing Sylvester Stallone into a corner and asking him (for reasons that are never made clear) whether or not he knows how to "fly a typewriter."
Elsewhere, the next morning, a young woman wearing a Ninja Turtle costume haphazardly crafted from a bath towel and a pair of children's swim goggles is making a nuisance of herself stealing rusty parts off of an old, 2-siloed warehouse. She's made a bold choice, and one which undoubtedly results in some very smelly feet, in wearing Uggs to traipse around the desert.
Uggs Lady has nothing to do, except for scavenging and making magical bread balls out of packets of old Gak, so it's not unwelcome when QTTR arrives out of nowhere to force her to hold his hand. Finding that village riots are becoming commonplace in the area, Uggs Lady and QTTR decide to steal a spaceship and fly into the bowels of another, bigger spaceship, where they almost immediately encounter Harrison Ford and a very long piece of mobile weave. This new spaceship doesn't turn out to be so cool, and after our friends encounter first the Jets and the Sharks and then a couple of pimply, hungry, tentacled eyeballs, they decide to leave.
They fly immediately to Harry Potter World, having heard good things about it online. The characters there are very realistically made, with superb makeup and mobility. There's even an attraction wherein young women can re-enact that last scene of "The DaVinci Code" and descend uninvited into a basement only to be presented with emotionally charged artifacts from their past.
Everyone has a good time, despite a small lover's quarrel between Uggs Lady and QTTR, and are on their way back to the spaceship when another outfit of Q-tippers arrive to wreak havoc. We come to discover that, elsewhere in the universe for the past few years, a young man in a cheap Darth Vader costume has been experiencing difficulty mastering a dramatic glance over the shoulder. Rules state that you must take up to 2 and no less than 1 minute to peep over your shoulder at the person behind you in an sinister manner (additional rules include the requirement of extremely dramatic music playing at the time) for the glance to be effective. This young man has been trying and TRYING but is having no luck nailing this skill, and in recent months has become so frustrated with his lack of success that he has taken to destroying his entire wall of PlayStations with his other favorite piece of Star Wars memorabilia - his light saber - when he fails.
All this to say, our young man has been driven by his frustrations away from his home and out into the world where he hopes to find some way to blow off steam. Happening upon Harry Potter world in a less than sunny temper, he promptly routes the whole place and shatters the delusions of Uggs Lady when she realizes during a chance encounter in a woodland glen, that, contrary to what she had always believed in her girlish fantasies (she totally has his poster on her wall), he is wearing slacks and not just a long black capey dress.
Our Young Man decides to take Uggs Lady back to his place, and while there, demonstrates a remarkable readiness to remove his Star Wars mask for just about anyone who will ask. (We think this is because he has such nice hair, and being obviously insecure about a lot of other aspects of himself, is eager to show it off.)
Nearby in the city, a different young man- this one blond- is nearing his boiling point because he continues to go about day to day clad in jodhpurs and a horse has YET to appear. This can be frustrating, as jodhpurs cannot be easy to wiggle into, and so it's understandable that he decides to blow up the universe.
As they are both dealing with epic frustrations, Our Young Man and Blond Man take a visit to their therapist, who isn't really in the room but who is using Skype to its' best advantage by projecting himself into the room as a 4,000x life size Lord Voldemort.
Therapy doesn't prove helpful- Blond Man goes away to make a very impassioned speech to a whole room of Q-tips and Our Young Man returns to Uggs Lady, only to find she has vanished. He goes off in search of her, only to find her in the snowy woods with QTTR, who, it turns out, is a Star Wars fan as well. The two guys enjoy a lively joust with their light sabers- Uggs Lady even gets a go, but the fun is cut short when a tremor and deep chasm occur, bringing to mind the Continental Shift and Great Divide and causing viewers to imagine how the next movie would be were it to include Littlefoot, Ducky, and Spike.
Exhausted from the last few days, QTTR goes into a coma. Uggs Lady sits patiently and lovingly by his side, for just under twenty seconds, and then has had about enough of that and jumps back into her spaceship with her weave and flies to earth, where she can get a killer thigh workout climbing stairs, and where, she has been told, she can find the only person in the galaxy who has REALLY mastered the slow glance over the shoulder while dramatic music is playing. She is hopeful that, if she can find him, she can learn his secrets and then really have something to show off for Our Young Man should their paths cross again.
Uggs Lady is lucky- she finds who she is looking for, and he is every bit the slow glance over the shoulder master he has been rumored to be, but alas, she may never receive lessons on that front. Having spent most of her life alone in the desert, no one has ever taught her that you do not hand people the scissors with the blades out, so she does not know that this principal also applies to light sabers. She offers her light saber as potential payment for lessons to her guru, but, unsure if he can safely take the saber from her, pointed at him as it is, he is stuck. We leave Ugg Lady and her guru locked in what may be a standstill for all time atop an island in the Pacific.
