Guava, kiwi, pineapple, banana, and grapefruit leap to mind as my favorites. Raspberries might also add a nice touch.

Kiwi and guava are weird *tosses them in* I don't like grapefruit or I'd tossed some of it in too.
Hmm, might add some coconut.

Lordy I am dreading rehearsals today. It's the last day before we get to work on the stage, so this is one of the most stressful days (aside from Thursday, the staging day). I have a horrible, horrible feeling that one of the directors is just going to be screaming today... she certainly was yesterday. Unfortunately I have an hour rehearsal with her, then a 30 minute 'break' for a lecture, then another hour and a half with her. It's sort of a horrible way to start the rehearsal-day. Fortunately she has had no reason to scream at me yet, because my part is very simple and I don't have to move around the stage (I'm seated the entire time) but it's hard to sit there and listen to her screaming at the other people on stage.
Onnnnnnn the plus side, I'm looking forward to going home on Monday and seeing my dog, sleeping in a -comfortable- bed, and collapsing on the couch to catch up on all of the cable television that I've been missing for the last 21 years. |

”Tonight on W-M.O.O.T. - an alternate version of the Black Knight scene in Monty Python’s Holy Grail…”
Gwai and Nelly is traipsing through a forest, Nelly providing the appropriate sound effects by slamming halves of a coconut together. Meanwhile, in a clearing, two knights, Sir Hector and Sir Troll's Bane, are going at it hammer and tongs in a fight to the death. The scene switches to Gwai and Nelly and then back to the duelling knights and then back and forth a couple of times. Finally Gwai and Nelly stands on a path that ends in the clearing where the intrepid two are caught in life and death struggle. A fight contains heavy sword-blows, strong arm tactics and downright foul play galore. Gwai and Nelly watches, quite interested. After several rising and fallings, Troll's Bane, having been thrown a bit from Hector, gets up and attacks Hector, insanely screaming. Hector throws him swords piercing Troll's Bane in the head. Blood squirts from the severe headwound and Troll's Banel tumbles and falls to the ground. Hector calmly walks over and grabs hold the handle of his sword, puts his foot against the awkwardly angled head of the dead Troll's Bane, and withdraws the weapon. Gwai nods at Nelly and they approach the victorious Black Knight. As they traips into the clearing, Hector just stands there, hand's resting on the handle of his sword. Gwai: “You fight with the strength of many men, sir knight.” Hector just stands there saying nothing. Gwai: “Im Gwaimir, King of the Mooters.” Hector stills acts like a deaf mute. Gwai: “I seek the bravest and finest knights on the Moot, to join at my court in the Café.” Hector remains silent. Now, slightly perturbed, Gwai turns and looks at Nelly. Then looks at Hector again. Gwai: “You have proved yourself worthy. Will you join me?” Hector still plays his little game. Gwai: “You make me sad. So be it! Come, Nelly!” Hector: “None shall pass!” Gwai: “What?” Hector: “None shall pass!” Gwai: “I have no quarrel with you, good sir knight. But I must cross this bridge.” Hector: “Then you shall die!” Gwai, quite annoyed now: “I command you as King of the Mooters, to stand aside!” Hector: “I move for no man.” Gwai: “So be it! They draw their swords and the fight is joined. Hector is at a disadvantage since he has no skill whatsover at swordplay. When his guard is down at one moment, Gwai slams his sword handle on his helmet. A loud clang is heard. Nelly looks on, quite thrilled. Blows are again exchanged. Again, Hector guard is down and a heavy chop from Gwai cuts off Hector’s left arm. The blood squirts from the severed arteries. Nelly, ducks behind a tree, but cant keep from watching so he peeks forth again. Gwai: “Now stand aside, worthy adversary.” Hector: “’Tis but a scratch!” Gwai: “A scratch! Your arm’s off!” Hector: “No it isn’t!” Gwai: “What’s that then?” pointing at the severed limb. Hector: “I’ve had worse.” Gwai: “You lie!” Hector: “Come on, you pansy!

That line alone is awesome. It sounds like a medieval epic poem.

Blows are again exchanged. Hector is at a slight disadvantage from the absense of a certain extremity, his attempts at blows somewhat hampered. Gwai easily deflects them.
Nelly looks on, still very much thrilled by the fight. Hector rushes at Gwai, only to have his other arm cut off as he rushes passed Gwai, screaming insanely. Blood starts squirting again. Gwai: “Victory is mine!” Gwai kneels to pray but Hector is still itching for a continuance of the fracas. He kicks at Gwai, who falls over. Hector, taunting: “Come on then!” He kicks at Gwai. Gwai: “What?” Hector: “Have at you!” He kicks again. Gwai: “You are indeed, sir knight, but the fight is mine!” Hector jumps and skips about. “Oh, had enough, eh? He continues his jumping and skipping about. Gwai: “Look, you stupid bastard, you got no arms left!” Hector: “Yes, I have!” Gwai: “Look!” Hector, not to be taken aback by trivialities: “Just a fleshwound!” He kicks at Gwai, tauntingly. Gwai: “Look, stop that!” Hector, kicks again: “Chicken! Chicken!” jumps and skips about, taunting Gwai. And kicks again. Gwai: “Look, I’ll have your leg!” Hector kicks one final time, at Gwai’s swordarm. Gwai: “Right!” and swings his sword, neatly cutting of Hector’s right leg. Nelly, watches the action, enjoying himself. Hector, hoping on his one remaining leg: “Right, I’ll do you for that!” Gwai: “You’ll what?” Hector: “Come here!” He hops over to Gwai. Gwai: “What are gonna do? Bleed on me?” Hector, hops about and tries to get near Gwai, who easily evades his attempts at close quarters. Hector screams: “I’m invincible!” Gwai: “You’re a looney.” Hector, indomitable: “The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you!” he bumps into Gwai trying desperately to fight on. “Come on then!” Gwai, quite annoyed with Hector persistant wish to ignore his somewhat lessened ability at movement and any kind of swordplay, chops off Hector’s other leg. Nelly is thrilled. Hector looks about, finally realizing his rather deminisced being, extremity-wise. Gwai: “All right, we’ll call it a draw. Come, Nelly!” Gwai and Nelly traipses off, Nelly providing the sound effects as before. Hector: “Oh, I see! Running away! You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what’s coming to you! I’ll bite your legs off!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eMkth8FWno Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 08-05-2010 at 12:24 PM. |
