"Message In A Bottle" Line By Line

[Vanyel]

Bravely bold Sir Robin
Rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin.
He was not in the least bit scared
To be mashed into a pulp.
Or to have his eyes gouged out,
And his elbows broken.
To have his kneecaps split
And his body burned away,
And his limbs all hacked and mangled Brave Sir Robin.
His head smashed in
And his heart cut out
And his liver removed
And his bowls unplugged
And his nostrils raped
And his bottom burnt off
And his penis.....

And then, the Animator suffered a fatal heart attack. The cartoon menace was no more.

 

[Vanyel]

Would it help to confuse it if we run away more?

 

[LeadHead]

Oh Lord, Bless this thy hand grenade. With it thou shall blow thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy. And the lord did grin...

 

[Vanyel]

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."

 

[LeadHead]

Amen

 

[Ziz]

OK, Tom has obviously been busy. Can someone else get on with the process of choosing the next chooser and episode?

 

[LeadHead]

I'll get into it later today.

 

[Admiral Shran]

At least we haven't tripled the size of this thread *after* the game was finished.

Meanwhile, not more than two swallow's flights away, Arthur and Bedivere had discovered something. Oh, that's an unladen swallow's flight away, obviously. There were more than two laden swallow's flights away, four really, if they had the coconut on a line between them. I mean, if the birds were walking, and dragging the coconut...

 

[Vanyel]

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
