"So . . . if you went up high enough, you'd be going down again?"
* * * * * * * * * *
Chick Counterfly connects his thought with Randolph's analogy and his brain begins to melt (as noted by the italicized "down"). What the gruff has he signed on for?!
How many entries will I need to say "what the gruff" before people begin to think it's an actual saying and start using it?
This connection that Chick makes either proves he's super smart and will make a terrific Chum of Chance or it shows he's super stupid and thinks analogies have to work on every level just like the thing they're analogizing. Also, it proves he's got some Slothrop in him because he's sniffing out this conspiracy that up and down are practically the same thing faster than Scooby Doo sniffs out a meatball sub.
It's too bad meatball subs weren't the weekly real estate crime lord because then Scooby Doo would have really been the hero of the show instead of just a terrified dog being dragged into situations that his owners know terrify the fuck out of him. It's like—analogy time!—if somebody's dog hated fireworks but every day you chained your dog out back and shot bottle rockets off in front of him. Then you gave him doggy drugs to feel justified in your sadism. "Good boy! You were so scared for the whole half hour! Have some snacks!"
