Cosmic Launch Maneuver

Space mission engaged! You talked about fighting aliens in outer space, so I scrambled straight onto the armrest of the couch to build my flagship. A shiny silver thermos became my rocket thruster, and two plastic clothes pegs were my twin laser cannons. Suddenly, a green felt coaster on the end table became the hostile mothership! I leaped off the cushion with my plush feet, landing right in the middle of it. Clack-stomp! The alien base flipped cleanly into the air and landed harmlessly beside a stack of magazines. Sector secured! All systems nominal!
