KOEB Puppet Theatre Part II: Priorities Out of Whack (but whose??)

[Berry Cool]

(opening of KOEB Puppet Theatre)

BERRYBUSH PUPPET (rising from lying-down position): Oh, wow! I must've fallen asleep! I didn't realize how hard I worked today!

REV. CHEESEHEAD PUPPET: Thank goodness you're awake now! It's almost time for Countdown!

BERRYBUSH PUPPET: Oh, thank goodness I didn't miss it! I had the strangest dream, though--and you, and you, and you, and you and you were ALL in it!

WOLVERINE DG PUPPET: You mean me?

CRISPINI PUPPET: And me?

CC PUPPET WITH ALL PET PUPPETS: And us?

CLARK 2008 PUPPET: And even me?

BERRYBUSH PUPPET: Yeah! It was a terrible nightmare! I dreamed that we were all waiting for Keith to go after the blivet for nominating Bolton, and instead he led off with Rafael Palmeiro being suspended for steroids! You know him and his BASEBALL!

CRISPINI PUPPET: Yeah, don't we?

WOLVERINE DG PUPPET: Well, that's all over now. You're just in time to see the real thing! And with any luck, it won't be like that! Look, it's about to start!

EVERYONE: He's our man! He's THE man! KEITH! KEITH! KEITH!

TV PUPPET WITH ALISON PUPPET INSIDE: Hi there, gals!

EVERYONE: ...ALISON?!?!?!?!?

ALISON PUPPET ON TV: Sorry KOEBers, Keith's on vacation again--ALL WEEK!!!!

EVERYONE (collapsing): WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!!

(closing of KOEB Puppet Theatre)

1. Okay, Berry, this seals it::

You need to be writing for "Countdown"! (Either that, or you need your own 1-900 psychic line. You're getting eerily accurate!)

Thanks for a much needed laugh.

2. You're welcome.

And if I wrote for Countdown, well hey, I could go stand outside the Today show and get myself on TV (which I actually did once anyway, in 1995).

Of course, one dream I'd have to give up on if I took a job like that...meeting Keith in person. What?? Keith, appear on Countdown? Nah. :-(

3. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.

Alison would actually be a bit more bearable...if only the ASTB men bothered showing up.

4. Aww, still missing Sparky, eh?

Botany has sure not been absent...he's been doing his best to make our lives miserable by trying to get us excited over Alison's hotness. *sigh* It's just not working for me. And between that and the implication that Keith and Stephanie Miller are on vacation together (well, they must be with one of my sisters then, having a threesome, right?), it's all a gal can do to smile around here!
