Chade:

Be it ever so crumble-ly there's no place like Rome
Nero he was the emperor and the palace was his home
But he liked to play with matches and for a fire yearned
So he burned Rome to ashes and fiddled while it burned

Thanks Kat. I fully intend to use this phrase somehow. Tonight. Or maybe at church.

{Leaning back on ash tree and plucking my lute)

Oh, join up with me, so joyous and free,
And away to old Sherwood, hie!
For I'm Robin Hood, and I'm very good,
At avoiding the Sheriff's eye.
So, we'll trip along merrily
O'er the green swards so gracefully
To trip and trip and trip and trip and trip it up and down!
To trip and trip and trip and trip and...whoa, whoops, trip it....

[splash]

Sooo, triiip it uuuup, aaaaaand doooown!

(Takes soggy bow)

Storm: Be vewy quiet. I'm hunting Walphies.
(Spoken:) Walphie TWACKS!! Walphie HOLE!!
(Thrusting spear:) KILL THE Walphie! KILL THE Walphie! KILL THE Walphie!
Ralphie (spoken): Kill the Walphie?

Storm: YO HO HO! YO HO HO! YO HO....

Ralphie: Oh, mighty warrior of great fighting stock
Might I inquire to ask, eh... what's up, doc?

Storm: I'm going to kill the Walphie!

Ralphie: Oh, mighty warrior, 'twill be quite a task.
How will you do it, might I inquire to ask?

S: I will do it with my spear and magic hewmet.

R: Spear and magic hewmet?

S: Spear and magic hewmet.

R: Magic hewmet?

S: Magic hewmet!

R (spoken, dismissively): Magic hewmet.

S: Yes, magic hewmet, and I give you a sample!

(Ralphie exits at near-light speed.)

S (spoken): That was the Walphie!

(There follows a chase, and then:)

S: Oh, Walphie, you're so wuvly.

R: Yes, I know it, I can't help it.

S: Oh, Walphie, be my wuv...

(They dance, then... )

S: Weturn, my wuv... a fire burning inside me...

R: Return, my love, I want you always bee-side me.

S: Wuv wike ours must be...

R: Made for you and for me....

R & S : Return, won't you return, my love... for my love is yours.

(While singing, they embrace. Ralphie' helmet falls to the ground revealing... rabbit ears!)

Storm (spoken, outraged): I'll KILL the Walphie!!
(spoken): North winds bwow, south winds bwow.
Typhoons, Hurricanes... Earthquakes!! SMOG!!!!!!
Thunder, wightning, stwike the Walphie!!

(Lightning flashes, striking something distant. Moving closer, we see the limp, lifeless form of Ralphie. A drop of water clings to a crushed flower)

S: What have I done? I've killed the Walphie! Poor wittle bunny.... (Sob!)

(Ralphie is carried off in Storm's arms.)

R (spoken): Well, what did you expect from an opera, a happy ending?

I love the old looney tunes and merrie melodies. I kinda said this on the old "why are cartoons today so crappy" thread.

I find that I have a very poor sense of humor nowdays. Some people will find something funny, and I'm just like "what?". But those old cartoons can still make me laugh.

On a side note, I found Hitchhiker's Guide mindsplittingly funny.
