Jeanie Bottle 249
Let the duel begin!
—————————
If people are wondering who the guy in the life guard shack is, he was on a recent reality TV show called “Opposite Worlds”.
Though the show’s final episode aired last night, Wyatt (who is an actual Cocoa Beach Life Guard) was put into a challenge (and lost) on episode four.
I personally thought his team made a few foolish mistakes in their thinking and strategy. Would Wyatt had made it to the end? I don’t know, but he should have gotten farther then he did.
In any case, it seemed like a good time to give him cameo and pass on my thoughts.

First MacGyver and now Wyatt. If you’re not careful you’re going to have us believing this comic takes place in the real world.
It doesn’t?
Well we are about to find out if Genie magic works on Witches and vice versa. Or two random guys on the beach are about to become women.
Oh don’t worry, the next bit of media that JB is going to cross over with will *definitely* put that idea to rest.
The Transformers? :p
The original version of Battlestar Galactica and not the idiotic “revisioning” of it where the Cylons are human creations and not the artifacts of a long dead alien civilization?
Jeanie is going to do battle with a Dalek?
The Great Gazoo?
I don’t think “MacGyver” was MacGyver. The MiBs referred to the actor as “from an old science fiction show” and “Captain Kirk.” And he’d been poofed in from a convention. Lots of Star Trek conventions; are there any MacGyver conventions?
Hmmm… I wonder if any nerdly conventions will be coming to Cocoa Beach? Sounds like a splendid excuse to bring back The Captain and the nerd crew from California.
Not MacGyver conventions, but Stargate Conventions are a possibility, which would be from an old (not really) science fiction show.
Showdown at the house of grey sand?
Cue “Battle without honour or humanity”
(DING DING) lets get ready to rumbleeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
“Whoooo-wah-Whoooo-Wha-Whoooo”
“Henk-Haaa-Haaaaaaa”
Wow! All they need now is a tumbleweed drifting between them. On a side note Opposite worlds is one of my wife’s fav tv shows. I’m going to have to ask her about Wyatt 🙂
The standoff should be done to the music “Once upon a time in the old west”

What’s the title of the music Cue I posted?
You recognize it, right?
The first part is a flute, the second a harmonica.
I thought it was from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
The iconic spaghetti western music is called “The Gunfighter”, a piece of needle-drop music used in “The Forgotten Pistolero”. A lot of people think it’s Ennio Morricone (I know I used to):

Here’s the version you want.

How can you beat an orchestral performance with a Harmonic as the featured performer.
The name of the movie is “Once upon a time in the old west,” next time I will add the word movie before the title.
Those sweatpants are really riding low on Jeannie’s hips, no sign of the boys either.
Also I think we’ll soon be seeing Wyona.
I think genie magic is more like a poof rather than a ray or projectile.
Genie POOF!s use a font featuring flourishes inside the Os and the lower bar of the Fs. Whereas witchy *POOF!s have a slanty font, perhaps italic, a definitely italicized exclamation mark, and are always prefaced with an asterisk. How could the differences be clearer?
What I meant was “how could the magic hit one of the boys when it’s a POOF?”
What I’ve noticed was that a “poof” of any kind is usually directed at a person or an object and effects nothing else. The result of the effect can be problematic!
Because this is Jeanie we’re talking about.tarhetted magic or not theres a 75% chance any male near her will wind up female.
Why would they target the boys?
No sign of the boys? Sure there is … the boys are the swimsuits. ^.~
While I would love this idea (object transformation is one of my favorites TF types), I’m fairly certain that’s Neil talking to Wyatt. Since since Sam just bought a new swimsuit, she would have no need to turn her husband into one.
Doesn’t really look like Neil to me, but it is still wishful thinking. Jean might be a bit of a jerk when it comes to him, but I really don’t think she’s progressed to the point where she’d be comfortable with having him wrapped around her body like that. It is feasible she’d send swimsuit-Neil off to someone/somewhere else, though…
I guess since its a beach they had to be in swimsuits…not complaining though but its kinda strange they would both come in one.
At least a mostly empty beach is a good place to have a magic duel. Minimize the casualties. Half expecting Lord Guano and Endora on the sidelines eating popcorn and placing bets.
Endora wouldn’t stand by and let a mortel mess with her daughter. She’s to much of a busy body. I watched Enough of the shows to know. As for Jeanie her mentor was not helpful.
I’m not sure Jean qualifies as mortal anymore.
She can die once she runs out of cosmic juice, so technically she is mortal.
(Also technically, the Spawn is a Genie by these criteria.)
Apart from that little insignificant glaring weakness, a Genie seems to be much more powerful than a witch.
The only real reason to show the two lifeguards being ready & on duty at dawn (which no lifeguard of my acquaintance would consider any sort of civilized hour for people to be up, but plot) is that they will somehow become unwilling participants in the upcoming blow out.
How & in what way remains to be seen, but I sort of figured that there would be the guys standing in as seconds with various hijinks ensuing from that.
Well, roll the dice & let the games begin.
Two lifeguards? I see Wyatt and Neil, but I don’t think Neil has that profession. Also, surely a good number of people jog on the beach at dawn, and would like to see a lifeguard on duty in case a large wave suddenly swept over them.
A large wave. Now that’s a thought. I believe a genie can “poof” that, but can a witch? (I really don’t know)
Is that supposed to be the back of Neil’s head? There is nothing other than the tag, that I just noticed to indicate that. I would think that he would be more interested in what is going between Jean and Sam.
Well, we can deduce from their conversation that one of the two ladies just barely arrived. Perhaps Neil and Jeannie got there first, and Neil struck up a conversation with Wyatt while waiting for Sam?
Plus, this is the beach near Neil and Jean’s apartment. Neil probably knows Wyatt already. So he’d just be saying hello while waiting.
I don’t think that’s Neil talking to the life guard. The hair color is wrong (morning light?) and Neil loves to wear green. If he wears a white shirt, it’s with a green tie. Besides, that fellow looks too, how shall I say, generic, like an extra. In the first panel, we have a view from the boardwalk. I think we’re seeing the “safe distance” the guys are keeping!
I vote for Neil as the most likely suspect. The guy talking to the lifeguard isn’t wearing swim trunks, so he’s not a lifeguard, or at least not on duty yet, and he’s wearing pants the same color as Neil was in the last episode–and, I think, in every episode where he wasn’t dressed for work. Plus, Neil thinks the “duel” is silly.
BTW, has anyone else noticed what might be one or two ships out on the horizon silhouetted by the rising sun?
Wow, good call! that little horizon thingie’s got to be something!!
Something tells me those two guys are “too close”.
This is making me think of the unfilmed original kill bill ending. Originally Bill and Bea were supposed to have their final showdown during sunrise on the beach. But genies and witches don’t use katanas so this will probably go a bit differently.
Two blondes enter, three blondes leave.
