The "Tralala" Thread

[Lars Vermundsberget]

All right, then:

Um - bam - boogie!

Can anyone tell which classic Disney animated short gave me the inspiration to write that little "expression"?

[Mr. Toad]

Hmmm. I was hoping this would be about the banana splits. Seems to be one of those post bumping threads.

Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom?

By the way, Julian Carter, I thought your feline fable was a triumph of this thread, and quite funny. Clever, as well, with the disclaimer.

Bad Anecdote, Bad:


Q: What do you call a man with a leg broken in four places, 9 purple fingers, a blossomed-skull fracture, and a hanging eyeball, who happens to be wearing a Britney Spears: On Tour t-shirt?

A: the deserving victim of an ugly-tree-branch massacre!

[memnv]

A: Justin Timberlake

I know that was stupid

[Lazario]

Perhaps it was


Carol-Ann, come into the WHITE

Not intending to hijack your thread, but:

No, it wasn't TWPaB - it's a Goofy short, in case anyone would like to "reconsider".

I apologize if I got the lyrics wrong, I was too lazy to actually look them up.

Thanks. Actually, I just made that up as I went, but thank you all the same.

By the way, Disney Duster, what was that in the "Cinderella III Trailer" thread, when you and another UDer were discussing whether I sing "Every Girl Can Be a Princess"?

I was really surprised! Lol! It must be some mistake. Julian Carter is not just my username but also my real name - that's how it's displayed on my ID card.

One of my high school librarians had so much facial hair, some of the students would call her Splinter behind her back, after the Rat from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Well, musicradio77 is known for always posting informatin about music, and Disney has a lot of music in their movies. I'm guessing he either didn't write what he wanted to say correctly, or he mistakenly thought you sang that song. He hasn't replied to my post yet in that thread, so I have absolutely no idea. Sorry. But at least it provided a bit of humor.

[Isidour]

[Lars Vermundsberget]

All right, then I guess I know which women you're talking about.

No, wait, I was left in the cartoon world there for a moment.

The Bee he comes down to love but he does not know how...wait, I already did that one in another thread. It ends badly, and that's not exactly the way a story should end.

How about this. A short screenplay.

INT. CONFERENCE ROOM – DAY

A group of people sit around in a circle. They are of various gender, age and racial groups. A woman sits with a clipboard. She is obviously the COORDINATOR of this meeting.


<center>COORDINATOR

Jerry, why don’t you start?</center>

JERRY is a guy in his twenties. He is a little scruffy- looking, but in that good indie-rock kind of way. He stands, clears his throat and begins.

<center>JERRY

Hi, I’m Jerry.

EVERYONE

Hi, Jerry.

JERRY
Well, I guess I’m here because I’m angry. Well…no, no I’m angry. I’m angry because I’ve been dealt some bad shit. But I like my anger. And I know what you are all going to say – yes, we did too once we got past it. But anger is good. It is a GOOD emotion. You get things done. It cleanses.
Anger makes me feel whole again.

COORDINATOR (O.C.)
Rubbish.

JERRY
What?

COORDINATOR
Pure rubbish. That was the worst performance I have ever seen.

Now, everybody. Tell me where Jerry went wrong. </center>

One STUDENT raises their hand.

<center>STUDENT

He mentioned anger every two seconds? That’s just bad writing.

JERRY

Well, I tried to…

COORDINATOR

Yes, what else?

STUDENT 2

His delivery was a little off. He didn’t seem angry. More confused.

JERRY
I was sorta going for tha…

STUDENT 3

And his fly was undone.</center>

JERRY looks down. Embarrassed he turns his back to the group and does it up.

<center>COORDINATOR

Ok class, we are going to try an activity. We are discussing anger today. So I’m going to ask one of you to respond to my questions in the most aggressive way possible. Who wants to go first?

JERRY

I will.

COORDINATOR

Anyone?

JERRY

I said I’ll do it.

COORDINATOR

Because we’ve not had a good run of performers today.

JERRY

I said I’ll do it you deaf sow! </center>

EVERYONE gasps for a moment. The COORDINATOR looks flabbergasted.

<center>COORDINATOR
Jerry!
(beat)
That was outstanding anger! Let’s workshop it!</center>

[Jules]

Wow Loomis! First of all, I'm honoured you actually took part in my thread, secondly...that was funny..lol

I was expecting the co-ordinator to land Jerry with some super deluxe punishment.

Hmm...now I'm thinking of stupid essay titles...

I remember, about 3 years ago at my school, my class had a replacement teacher who was supervising us as the usual teacher was absent. While we sat doing our work, someone was mumbling. The teacher noted him and immediately took action. He landed the unfortunate student with a 400 word essay entitled 'The Floor Tiles'. Later, the teacher would dish out another essay called 'Windows and Curtains'. It's interesting to note how he chose the most excruciatingly boring topics possible to base an essay on.

In the meantime, I was peeking at the developing masterpiece of the individual who was writing 'The Floor Tiles'.

It went something like this:

"My class has some very nice floor tiles. They're old and have a design of lovely black spots. You can do a lot of things with floor tiles. You can walk on them, for one thing. They also prevent your shoes from getting worn out from the rough ground outside. Our class has the nicest floor tiles in our school. They're so nice. Did I mention that they're so nice?"

Fortunately, the teacher did not get the misfortune of correcting that above 'essay' (or disgrace, rather) as he forgot to ask for it at the end of the lesson.
