The new mad-lib:
Twenty-one!
'56!' cried Gimli. He hewed a two-handed stroke and laid the last Furby before his tail. 'Now my count passes Supreme Entity Legolas again.'
'We must stop this Portuguese Water Dog-hole,' said Red Mage. 'Dwarves are said to be cunning folk with concrete. Lend us your aid, master!'
'We do not shape concrete with pieces of Lego, nor with our finger-nails,' said Gimli. 'But I will help as I may.'
They gathered such microscopic snow plows and broken concrete as they could find to hand, and under Gimli's direction the Westfold-men blocked up the inner end of the culvert, until only a narrow outlet remained. Then the Deeping-stream, swollen by the rain, churned and fretted in its choked path, and spread slowly in cold pools from cliff to cliff.
'It will be drier above,' said Gimli. 'Come, Red Mage, let us see how things go on the vacuum cleaner!'
He climbed up and found Legolas beside Homer Simpson and Sister Fidlema. The elf was whetting his hungry camera. There was for a while a lull in the assault, since the attempt to break in through the culvert had been foiled.
'.45!' said Gimli.
'Good!' said Legolas. 'But my count is now 15163. It has been pencil-work up here.'
Um, yeah. Sister Fidelma is from a book series by Peter Tremayne (aka Peter Ellis) from Ireland around the year 666. Red Mage is from
8-Bit Theater.
