This picture is WAY too small



Sorry I'm late, I had a bit of a horseshoe problem on the way up here. But here we are... (More to come later, I can't talk now. I just wanted to get something up. Click on the image to see the rockin' cool detail.)

Real Post:

I love parties, and I wanted this one to go just right so I wrote a script for the entire evening. Here it is:

THE 'MY OLD SKETCHBOOK' MASQUERADE

or

HOW THE FOOLISH KNIGHT SHOCKED AND AMAZED A WHOLE ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE AND ONE HORSE!

[THE FOOLISH KNIGHT enters the MAIN BALLROOM/SNACK BAR THING through the VERY LARGE AND COOL DOORS. He is mounted on WENDY (who has a BEEHIVE on her back). THE FOOLISH KNIGHT sees THE QUEEN OF ARTS AND ENGLAND and ERIOL chatting about ERIOL's poetry. ERIOL is nodding his head and waving his hands A LOT. THE FOOLISH KNIGHT's gaze quickly moves past them to SIR BERT BONO SHAKESPEARE WONKA SGT. OF PEPPER and THE DAWN waltzing to "Baby You Can Dive My Car". ERIOL and THE QUEEN OF ARTS AND ENGLAND join in on the "Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! WHOA!"s. THE FOOLISH KNIGHT, confident that this is the time to make his big entrance, decides to speak.]

FOOLISH KNIGHT: Hey guys! What's up?

[At that moment MIDSUMMER and GAILLAR enter the room singing a duet they have memorized for the occasion from Andrew Lloyd Webber's, The Phantom of the Opera, and THE FOOLISH KNIGHT can no longer be heard over the enormous racket.]

ERIOL [pressing a button on a HEADPHONE in his ear, and speaking into a SMALL MICROPHONE]: Security, this the Big Man. We have a 2319. Commence operation 'Phantom Menace'! I want all available security all the floor NOW! PRONTO! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

[Quickly the MAIN BALLROOM/SNACK BAR THING is filled with LOTS OF BIG MEN IN SUITS AND SUNGLASSES, who escort MIDSUMMER and GAILLAR out of the room through a BACK ENTRANCE. Their singing, though still audible long after they leave the room, slowly dies out and the party commences once again.]

WENDY [to FOOLISH KNIGHT, irritated]: Niieghhh!

FOOLISH KNIGHT [calmly]: I know, I know. That's one of my favorite Andrew Lloyd Webber songs too. Look, just give me time to make my big entrance and then we'll see if we can get Midsummer and What's-His-Face out of the clink.

[At this point the party is disrupted once again by the appearance of a GIANT QUESTION MARK and EXCLAMATION POINT, who begin bouncing up and down and correcting people's spelling. THE FOOLISH KNIGHT is, by now, very upset and, determined to get SOMEBODY's attention, beings to juggle the precocious punctuation marks and gargle "Jesus Loves Me" AT THE SAME TIME! EVERYONE stands back in amazement and awe. WENDY rescues MIDSUMMER and GAILLAR and, by WENDY's request they begin to sing "Ring Of Fire" instead. Soon everyone (filled with admiration for THE FOOLISH KNIGHT, because of his resourcefulness, uncommonly good looks, and sheer genius) is dancing, and the party is saved.]

THE END

Magnificent!
Good thing your guest wasn't a lady, cause if she had had shoe trouble you would have had to carry her up! The details are very nice and what do you want to listen to?

How cool! Hope you're not sore from that ride. Your steed looks a little knoby on the back side. Waiting for the rest.

Silly! I wasn't saying Wendy wasn't a lady, just not a lady that wears 'shoes' shoes.

The story is very fun and very you!

I think I'm going to make up some more guests tommorrow, maybe!

I forgot to thank all you guys for your respective "oohs" and "ahhs"!

Oops. I guess that's "thank you" in maybe Korean or something. I'm using a computer at the WorldView Center and I pressed some combination of buttons accidentally and got the above. You never really know what's going to happen around here! Here, I'll do it in a way you can actually read

Thank you!
