"Good Morning Class" -- The Apostle

In Coinalot, MadMarty sits high in the rafters, singing to himself

In Coinalot I've heard it said
We fight all day then go to bed
We wake up and we fight again
Fight with her and fight with him!!


Sir Dog97: (calling up) Silencio por favor!!!

Madmarty continues, singing louder...

Never let the facts intrude
Upon a foul or nasty mood
Before another day can pass--
Tell the court to kiss your ass!!!

A single arrow comes sailing from below--Vooooooop!!!


Madmarty: (falling) GAAAAAAAK!!

King ArtR enters the large hall followed by a train of advisors. He is steamed

King ArtR: I am the King of a contentious contingent of discourteous rabble!!!!
Jester Shiroh: Try saying that ten times fast, your Majesty!
King ArtR: Oh shut up.
Sir Coinosaurus: Things have been a little hot around here lately, Sire.
King ArtR: (thundering) WHY! Where do they get it from??? Is Coinalot not a happy place? Do I as King not set a precedent for cheeriness!!! BY THE GODS! I'M THE HAPPIEST KING IN CHRISTENDOM! AND IF PEOPLE DO NOT START SHARING THE ROYAL JOY I SHALL EXECUTE THEM ONE BY ONE!!!!!
Jester Shiroh: It's a thought, Majesty.
King ArtR: Bring me the Royal Record Keeper!

Conder101, The Royal Record Keeper approaches holding a large scroll.

Conder101: (bowing) Your Majesty!
King ArtR: Record Keeper, inform the court who has been scuffling this week!
Conder101: (glancing down the scroll) Hmmmmm... let's see... the Earl of Compucheap and DCAMFranklin, Sire....
King ArtR: (deadpan) No? really?
Conder101: Sir Mdwoods and the blacksmith JJacks had a row...
King ArtR: Yes...
Conder101: Two of the local swineherds, Pontiacinf and WWbillman were mixing it up... Karl of Dork and Keets The Fiesty mugged Saint Feldolini…
Saint Feldolini: Never laid a glove on me!
Conder101: ...And Lord Joconner had a bout with humility which he lost.
King ArtR: Ah.... a typical week in Coinalot. Again I ask WHY!!!!!???

The crowd parts like the Red Sea and a man comes forward. He is wearing a tacky, polyester jerkin, his hair would do Elvis proud. He is shadowed by three other men dressed in black

The Apostle Doops: WHY your majesty...? because the chumps haven't been delivered of JE-SUS! sweet lord, sweet lord-- it's a holy ghost moment i'm a-comin' to bring ya... praise the lord!
The Disciples: AMEN!!!
Sir NumisEd: You're a FRAUD!!
The Apostle Doops: hey, yuze talkin to me <-@ ......say? @-&gt; yuze talkin to me ? just what seems to be yer prob numned? and he11 yes popperduper is cool--

The Disciples: AMEN!!!
Sir DCAMFranklin: You're a PUNK!
The Apostle Doops: buzz it boy, nobody believes in your crap. bunch of nutcases is what we have here all the while i think what i always thought--
The Disciples: AMEN!!!
The Apostle Doops: --the lord is my shepherd, i shall not want. even though this particular valley is wreaked with havock, lies, deception and all sorts of slanderous glorp coming from the chumpies that are on here i still fear NO evil and if given the opportunity would take my rod and staff and beat the beJesus out of a few on here who are truly deserved of a good stoning and whipping......fair and square--
King ArtR: (head in hands) Be quiet...
The Apostle Doops: Jesus is SWATTIN' YOU TO MUSH, then thumping you to the floor!!--
King ArtR: BE quiet!
The Apostle Doops:--Got twenty seven years, bringing chumps to Je-sus and sweet lord ain't no one--
King ArtR: (leaping to his feet) SHUT YOUR CAKE HOLE!!!!!!!!

--Silence--

Sir CoinAddict: Amen.
Sir Drainbamage: Your Majesty? May I make a suggestion?
King ArtR: (despondent) Does it involve the Royal Catapult?
Sir Drainbamage: No, your Highness.
King ArtR: Vitals on heads of lettuce?
Sir Drainbamage: No, your Highness.
King ArtR: (snapping) THEN WHAT??????!
Sir Drainbamage: Well, your Majesty, when I hear or read unpleasant things, I just close my eyes, put my fingers in my ears and sing a happy song! Like this--

Sir Drainbamage, eyes closed, fingers in ears begins to sing

There was a little cow
As happy as a lamb--


Squire Airplanenut: Cool.
King ArtR: (drained of life) By the Gods.
The Archbishop of Coinguy1: (whispering to ArtR) Your Majesty, might I suggest banishing them all to the Open Lands?
King ArtR: (sighing) What possible good would it do?
The Archbishop of Coinguy1: We would be rid of them, Sire.
King ArtR: In truth Archbishop, they have as much right to be here as you or I.
The Lady Lucy of Bop: We're all one big family!
Sir AgentJim007: I shall definitely puketh!
Saint Feldolini: Kill them all, let God sort 'em out.
King ArtR: Feldolini! You astound me!
Saint Feldolini: I meant chill all... I'll sort it out.

King ArtR looks around at the faces of the court assembled before him

King ArtR: (with great resolve) I absolutely refuse to be bothered by any more of this! I am in a good mood! In fact, I feel like hearing a song! YES! A HAPPY SONG ABOUT LIFE AND LOVE IN COINALOT!! Where is Madmarty? Our beloved madman and singer of silly songs?

People look down, shuffling their feet

King ArtR: Well...? Where is he?
Sir Knucklehead: Sir Dog97 killed him, your Highness....

--Silence--

The Disciples: AMEN!!!!

All: BWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

    Note:

    This is a special early Friday edition of Coinalot because I am going on vacation later tonight and will be gone until July 8th.

    Everybody enjoy themselves on the forum--no fighting now--and I look forward to being back in early July.

    Enjoy good dialogue, debate and humor.

    My best regards to all. image

    Hey, Thanks Clankeye. This was so poignant! And on a friday! Hope you have a great vacation!
    BTW...in another thread I suggested we put MadMarty back in his straight jacket...Less severe than keeling him. Oh well, he will be missed....Maybe Saint feldolini can bring him back to lifeimage

    Wow, this thread was started 19 years ago and by one of my favorite forum members/posters of all time!

  • MaywoodMaywood Posts: 2,467 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @MFeld, I was looking up "pepperdoodles" from the search box and this thread came up. I couldn't resist because it evoked memories about what the forum was like when I lurked, back when the Open Forum was still here and the moderators were much more forgiving. Instead of closing threads they'd just ban members!! :p

  • FlyingAlFlyingAl Posts: 3,500 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Ah, the archives. Good stuff.

    I never thought I'd see the day where an archived thread with quite a few posts only had one member banned (though even that isn't necessarily true in this case). I expect I haven't been paying attention enough and more than a few have slipped past my notice.
