Examples please, Johnny2.
"Lo and behold my kings and Queens, we sit on chairs of silver and brass, yet were we to stand for a moment and sing, we would be better and should cry "Oh ho ho!"
I found the above very entertaining. Chairs of silver and brass are hard on the ass; were we to stand for a moment and sing, we would be better. Of course we would! That was funny!
"We emerge from the slime like water from the wheel. O ho, O ho. Xanthia Piscuali, a world of gnomes. Reincarnated under the guidance of Perthiuth Thwaite, servant to the queen of mice."
I found the above very educating. I did not know that Perthiuth Thwaite was servant to the queen of mice. One learns something new every day!
Now then; there's a formula. A formula that never fails to rise to the challenge because it educates and entertains by grasping at the very roots of the human condition. That formula is classical mythological story structure. It has allowed stories like Homer's Odyssey to persevere for literally thousands of years. Gotmilk shows that one can play with the formula quite a bit. After all, it's just a framework. (Calm down dear, it's only a framework).
As for further questions; Let me quote gotmilk - "Irony is here like trees in a wood or feathers on my talons – for I am a bird – question me not. Irony."
Nice chatting but I have to continue writing my sitcom, entitled, "Haphazardly Throbbing Like The Droll Armpit of Hercules"
My name's Jonny2 - Goodnight!
