New Quote

[Daniel J. Neyer]

"This steed is good for about a mile!"

This line is from the Gyro Gearloose story where Gyro decides he is going
to get away from machines and inventions and live the simple life on the
desert. He even tells the Helper to get out of his sight, but he quickly
finds how hard the simple life can be and finds himself in danger of
dying of thirst. The Helper mounts a rabbit and rides to the rescue,
which is where Daniel's quote comes in. The Helper collapses too, but is
revived by a lightning strike, and manages to find the old prospector
that Gyro had seen and held up as an example early in the story. The
prospector sends his "assistants", a pair of robots, to bring Gyro in,
and explains to Gyro that he is a scientist who came to the desert to
escape from machines, but found he couldn't get along without them. This
leaves poor, confused Gyro not knowing "whether I'm coming or going!"
