In Coinalot, King ArtR has granted an audience to Karl of Dork, the Kingdom Contrarian
Karl of Dork: (bowing) Your Majesty, your latest decree continues to ignore the single, most fundamental tenet of all hobbies: you have the right to collect exactly what it is you want to collect and nobody shall take away that right!
King ArtR: That a fact.
Karl of Dork: That's a fact!
(continuing) Amazing how we, the itsy bitsy worthless, sniveling citizens of Coinalot, already don't get to decide how to grade coins-- the Graders Who Charge Fees do it for us!--and now we don't get to choose what we want our coins to look like either!!
King ArtR: That a fact.
Karl of Dork: That's a fact!
(continuing) How long will it be before you have to be certifed by your Majesty before you may be permitted to even collect coins?
King ArtR: (rising) Karl of Dork... how many times have I had you ripped asunder, sliced, diced turned into Julian fries, and flung piece by piece into the frigid Bay of Eee?
Karl of Dork: It is not germane to the subject, Sire!
King ArtR: 'Tis!
Karl of Dork: 'Tisn't!
King ArtR: Would you say I have done this a plethora of times?
Karl of Dork: Your Majestry hates that word!
King ArtR: Do not!
Karl of Dork: Do too!!!
King ArtR: Karl of Dork, I cannot decide whether you amuse me or vex me. I think you vex me. I am very vexed!
Karl of Dork: You are not!
King ArtR: I am too!!
Karl of Dork: Because I refuse'th to blow smoke up the Royal Patoot??? You should thank me, Highness! Not one of your lackeys would say you were on fire if they thought it would annoy you!!!
King ArtR: BY THE GODS!!!!
Karl of Dork: There are no Gods!
King ArtR: BLASPEHEMER!!
Karl of Dork: Am not!
King ArtR: (purple with rage) THE ROYAL CATAPULT SHALL BE BUSY THIS EVE!!
Karl of Dork: Sez who??
A small, gnarled man steps forth out of the crowd. Bent nearly in two, he leans on a walking stick as he inches toward the King. In a feeble voice he speaks...
A question for his Majesty!
King ArtR: (taken aback) WHAT?
Seth of a Thousand Questions: If your Majesty were a tree... which tree would thee be?
There is a collective gasp!
Sir Steve27: (whispering) His Majesty hates trees!
Sir Coinosaraus: But why?
Sir Steve27: Once as a child, he was lost in a plethora of them!
Squire Airplanenut: Cool!
Lady Tassa: After the coin dealers came and burned his village?
Sir Steve27: Just so!
Karl of Dork: (to ArtR) Answer the question, Sire!!!!
King ArtR: It is not germane to the discussion OF HOW I SHALL HAVE YOU KILLED!!!!!
Karl of Dork: It is!
King ArtR: HOW SO??????
Karl of Dork: Because me thinks his Majesty would be a PECKERWOOD TREE!!!!!
Another collective gasp. The maiden Coindaughter faints.
It is later in the evening on the banks of the Bay of Eee. Sir ClarkofKent, The Royal Catapultist, is whistling to himself, polishing the Royal Catapult. Two men approach
Sir ClarkofKent: Evening!
First Traveler: Evening!
Sir ClarkofKent: Who goest there?
Friar Fatman: 'Tis I, Friar Fatman and Madmonk the Madmonk. We journey back to The Abbey of Buyitnow!
Sir ClarkofKent reaches into the Royal Dung Wagon, grabs an arm, puts it on the Catapult and VA-WOOM!!!!
Madmonk: What'cha doin'?
Sir ClarkofKent grabs a head from the wagon and places it on the Catapult
Sir ClarkofKent: (laughs) Oh, nothing much. Flinging pieces of Karl of Dork into the Bay of Eee....
Friar Fatman and Madmonk stare at the head.
The head of Karl of Dork: No he's not!
VA-WOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

Alas, I think I still hear Karl of Dork, (wherever he is, er, I mean wherever his pieces are) arguing. I guess, it's not always a good thing to be given a leading role in your tales. It can make one a "head case".
Will he be back? And, if so, will he still be so argumentative?
<< <i>I'm afraid to respond. >>
I'm sorry. I'll be nice.
Next we need the good king to take a grading class. That's sure to amuse!
Hadn't noticed Karl of Dork being turned into "Julian fries" before, but i very much appreciate the irony.
thanks as always

Carl of Dork will probably keep coming back as a "shill" !!!!!!!!
Clank, that's too funny, drugs or no!

A fabuous line! Clank, you have outdone yourself with this great piece. I'm truly appreciative of your great contributions!
The humor is unrelenting. It should help with the smiling.

Thanks for all the nice words, guys! It's reassuring to know some of the people hanging out here are as crazed as I am.

i'd say that it's gut-busting funny, but too late for that.
