: : Jeez, trying to get these toads to sing is a trip. My tenor sounds like he has a frog in his throat, and half the choir keeps slipping and sliding off the rocks. Need some no-skid skin they do. And you would THINK that after months of working with them at least ONE of them would be able to hit a high note!
: : Nope.
: : Hmmm, what's that you say Bubba? Some lady is bellyin' through the grass headed our way? What's her trip I wonder? Well, she better watch her step - er, I mean her slide. This is a pond, and the geese do LOVE to hunker down around the pond, and you know what THAT means! Lots of feathers and goose Wash-ta around.
: : Nothing slicker than goose Wash-ta ya know. Or messier.
: : GnomeDome
: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: Who you callin' a LADY, Toad? Is some OTHER fem-i-NINE creature tryin' to sneak up on my Eye of Toad resource? Cuz, if'n you're talkin' about ol' Sassy, here, I resent the inference! I ain't no Lady, sartain! As for goose Wash-ta, never fear...I've got my trusty purple paisley flyin' carpet, Ol' Purple, set to Hover! So, toads, newts, frogs, and other assorted creepy crawlers had best watch out! An' YOU, too, wee man...I just might think of a good use for a feller YOUR size, as well! After all, ol' Sassy's house is just FULL o' pots that need stirrin', an' I seem to recall you've a knack for that sort o' thing!
: *hover, creep, sneak*
: Yours Stealthily,
: Sassy
You! Up there hovering on that contraption! Get your keester down here and land that thing! RIGHT NOW! This the the gnome Senior Controller here at the Gnome Air Traffic Control Center
and you are in violation of Colonial Regulations regarding safety in the airspace. First of all, you have NOT been cleared to enter restricted airspace. Nor have you contacted the tower and even requested clearance. Secondly, you are way under minimum height requirements for flight over populated areas, gnome choirs, and congested ponds. Thirdly, I can see NO registration number on that purple monstrosity you are flying,
and I question its air worthiness, let alone the pilot's worthiness who by her own admission is NO lady! Why, with all these violations your license to fly has been REVOKED and you can just WALK through all that goose Wash-ta back where you came from!!! And if you give me any lip, why you can just find your keester slammed into the Gnome Colonial Big House and that is a heck of a misnomer lemmee tell ya. Gnome jails ain't known for their size. You'd be mighty cramped in one of them cells for sure. A sentence of 10 years in a solitary 2 foot by 2 foot cell on a diet of mushrooms and water will straighten you out and get your mind right. And if THAT don't straighten you out, well you can just spend a night in the box. *ptue - spitting 'backy with deadly accuracy at pesky mosquito.*
Lemme see your license.
