It just gets better and better. Mulder's trip to Ursula's Unmentionables is worthy of a mention.
Ursula's Unmentionables.
Whoever had decided to place a branch of this lingerie chain in the airport had tapped into an eager market. Far from home was the easiest place to buy naughty nighties.
Scully hid behind a rack of queen-sized peignoirs. Unless Mulder was shopping for himself, he wouldn't be browsing through this section.
I think that must be a little tip of the hat to David Duchovny's appearance as Agent Denise Bryson on Twin Peaks.
"I'm not looking for PJ's with little bunnies on them, I just want something that wouldn't embarrass a goddamn whore on Bourbon Street," Mulder was saying.
A big-bellied man in seersucker appointed himself to teach Mulder some manners. Or perhaps it was the bee-hived woman on his arm who had appointed him.
"Now, look here, sir," the man said. "Just because you don't like the merchandise doesn't give you the right to insult the patrons or use foul language in front of my wife."
Mulder bowed his head repentantly.
"I'm sorry if I offended you or your wife," he said. "I have nothing against whores, nothing at all. Please accept my apology."
All is forgiven, Mulder. You are irresistible, plus Scully has a buzz on now.
Oh, my, yes, this ship will sail. "So Mulder really did want to see her in something sheer and white. That wasn't part of his act.
Scully filed the memory next to one labeled 'Mulder's failed marriage.' Both went into a folder marked, 'Too much information.'"
We know that folder is going to be opened at a later time.
Yeah, but I think it's more fun watching them do this than see them moping around in IWTB, scratchy beard scene not withstanding. Maybe if he had kept the beard. I like beards.
I can't help it. I just prefer the early seasons, before all of the bad things start to happen. Scully's abduction, Melissa's murder, the cancer, Emily. And it only goes downhill from there. The RST has too much emotional baggage attached and mostly, with rare exceptions, I would just rather not even think about all of that. I just want my scary show back, with Mulder and Scully out to face down all enemies and save the planet. That's all. How did I start in on this?
Never mind. Maybe we need to read another humorous story, but I can't think of one offhand that isn't by Kel. I know they must be out there.

Any suggestions, anyone?
