Post by bunniefuu »

[Music]

and then

the big scary giant comes stomping over

the western horizon hungry and angry and

hard to appease

and it drives a hard bargain smashing

anything and everything if he's unhappy

give me a break remember three years ago

when the giant almost dropped that tree

on your head oh yeah that was quite

alarming and remember what the giant did

to your kitchen ugh it took me weeks to

clean up and remember what the giant oh

please don't remind me i simply cannot

take it oh come on there's no such thing

as giants then who tore the roof off my

workshop last year only i can stop him

unless you do exactly as i say

you will all be smashed into tiny bits

of dead toe jam

i need a volunteer

you and you

very good whitey h* oh mother yes

volunteer for what who appears the giant

of course i'll need three things you

know

i'd love to do that cause appeasing

giants is really my thing but lancelot

if it's that important of course it is

i need a shell from the wagga wagga

birch egg a piece of wood from the

geysers spider and the eye tooth from

the upper door of the black shark i hate

spiders and a shark's tooth nobody said

some scuba gear

have to do this job first this is very

important no matter what you do keep the

pump running

while i'm down there if i ring this bell

won't take a second

open wide nice weather we're having huh

to pay well

artist i need my tools i want my shell i

i can't be expected to work under these

conditions oh poor mike

i'm sure she's doing the best she can

nice work lancelot you found the geyser

spiders web

[Music]

i'll be right down

i'm not gonna fall see i made it safe

and sound

i eat fighters i hate spiders

we gotta get out of here

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

lancelot you're the man you are so brave

the way you took on that spider it

didn't even have a chance

me

nah you

you're a man

okay all right it was both of us

we were amazing

[Music]

mommy

[Music]

okay last on the list

seriously lancelot how hard can it be to

get an eggshell from a bird as silly as

the wagga wagga

[Music]

oh look

it's so ugly that it's kind of cute

okay cute little guy we'll just take a

piece of your shell since you're not

gonna use it anymore whoa

don't strain yourself helping me

lancelot

great this thing really bites me

all right little monstrosity i'm gonna

set you down and leave you alone and

you're gonna leave us alone okay

[Music]

i couldn't agree more

you know it's birds like you that give

birds like you a bad name

come on let's get out of here

[Music]

hey everybody we got the stuff hello

anybody home

man lancelot this village is eerily

silent where do you think everybody went

hello

anybody

we scored we did it

lancelot and i are the kings of the

world that dumb old giant better watch

out when he gets here i hope that isn't

what i think it is

i mean

giants don't exist do they

hold it hold it hold everything what the

heck is this

you're the giant of course i am you've

got a problem with that yeah i got a

problem with that you said that a big

scary giant was coming well no no no

dear in actuality there is no real giant

it's a it's a metabolical statement

metaphorical

yeah that too but we went to a lot of

trouble to get you this stuff to appease

the giants

gotta be kidding what what's the deal

you said to go and collect the necessary

items you see old girl we did say that

but we simply wanted you to go and get

the box there in second shelf on the

bottom

you mean you know about the box the

whole time why don't you say something

you see the giant represents the coming

rainy season and the tooth represents

the food that grows when it rains and

the web represents being stuck at home

enjoying all those downpours and the

eggshells represent what you have to

walk upon when everyone has been cooped

up inside for so long

yeah great but i wonder what it

represents for them

you didn't expect a happy ending did you

baby

the problems of youth are too numerous

by half but as you get older and start

getting bolder you'll find that your

problems get decidedly fine i don't

laugh

ancestors

it's just a hunting method of change

since you were here no self-respecting

grand son of mine is going to hunt with

rubber tiptoes

oh crumbs

what are you doing are you completely

out of your mind no well at least i

don't think so incoming documents always

come into the right hand corner of the

table always it is the law

i rescinded that law and i always put

incoming papiers on the left corner of

the desk

right no wrong

leg is the correct corner i know what

i'm doing

wrong is right

left

[Music]

and the proper way to tear a paper is

vertically

horizontal

vertical horizontal

[Music]

it's 27 grams of uranium-238

the uranium should be ground to a

consistency of about 12 parts per

million

fine but not so fine is to operate the

granular nature entirely it must be i

mean okay

oh excellent

now pour the powder slowly into the

solution taking care not to disturb its

contents

it was horrible lancelot a nightmare i

dreamed the island was crawling with

really old smelly decrepit ghosts and

worst of all my awful aunt lulu was one

of them you're lucky you never met her

the self-centered old hag all she ever

did was get in her own way get off that

towel and give an old woman some room

lemonade what are you gogging at

spell well mike has given us some very

good advice she lost us for an eternity

crankier than a rhinoceros with a head

comb
