This all starts out with a little droid with a little golden head. And he talks too much. Then one day as he was walking along, talking about the difference between a red droid and a blue droid to a blue droid, when he stumbled on old Yoda’s home. And he rang the door Bell. Old yoda stepped out, and was run over by a tank. But luckily, Yoda was able to jump into the compartment of the tank, and made it lose its armor!! Then, unfortunately, Yoda ran into the sunset and did not become a ghost Jedi. But he met Dumbledore and they went out for Ice Cream. So Yoda was gone and the gold droid just sat there and said “ALLO ALLO I AM AT YOUR door I don’t know what to say anymore. Meanwhile at and evil lab some where, “omigawsh” said a voice “Twins” and what do you know? had babies who where now fighting over his prize light saber. Then the doctor, Maceface, told his assistant, Bobbyfooot to push a button but there mother Miss Choogul, thought he was talking to her, and so she unleashed a ‘nother Darth Vadoi. “Ohmygawsh! Triplets” And then she said “Kids, stop fighting over the lightsaber. We’re going to Unky Breevis’s house.” So they went to Unky Breevis’s house. “Oh look! Relatives! Great timing! I just made a droid that makes pie” And so the droid made them some pie. But while they were eating there orange pie, “Laddidaddida, laddidaddida, laddidaddida, laddidaddida, laddidaddida” Masked Boogle told Unky that his collection of lightsabres looked stupendous hands and back. And he also commented on his new Mercedes in the driveway. The reason this was so horrible, this gave the kids a horrible idea. They all stole of Unky Breevis’s Lightsabres, including the one that they already had, and they hijacked his Mercedes and ran off with it while singing a song. They sang “O Canada” and “Boulevard of Pecan Soup” Because it was playing in the other yard. They also stole Unky Breevis’s legs, so he had to scoot around in orange pie “Laddidaddida, laddidaddida, laddidaddida, laddidaddida, laddidaddida” Seeing a giant Mercedes “a those horrible kids took my legs” macey Quabbydobby was alarmed and told his assistant boboba feet “We must take action”  “Lets replace Unkee briveous's head with the little gold droids” “MMMM orange pie” “I talk to much” Orange pie spin!!! Masked Boogle suddenly said “Unky Breevis? You suddenly talk too much! And where did you get that fabulous gold paint? I could yoose it to paint my grandson’s birthday cake!” “But you don’t have a grandson!” said an anonymous contributor. “Oh yeh, you’re right. I should use it to paint my wife.” And so it was Miss Choogul the hologram that got painted. She also got the golden droids beautifly painted head, and her old one rolled away. Therefore Unky Breevus had no head. Then the Pie droid gave Unky Breevus a big old helping of Head. Good Pie Droid! Suddenly the Jaggernaut lost its front wheels, and went to the garage, which delayed the story quite a bit. So now while you are waiting, you will see the stars of “Coffee and Cigarettes” drink coffee and smoke cigarettes. OKalright, delay over, You’ve seen enough of Brad Pitt, even though you can’t even see him here. “Hooray For Napoleon Dynamite!” screamed the Jedi. “He caught Deb a delicious bass!” And so all of them went out to Delicious Plaza cheering and jeering for Napoleon Dynamite, when suddenly the Jaggernaut ran Napoleon Dynamite over. And then the Jedi say “Hey! That no good!” Even Macey with his new hairstyle and his daughter JC Penny was shaoting. Then the Jaggernaut ran them over. “But… we’re cool!” said Macey as his new Danish roll hairstyle flew into the air. The juggernaut kept going and ran into the Millennium Falcon, and he injured several pedestrians in the process, and lost its head. Which flew onto the Jedi Spard. “Hey, thass no’ cool; that’s ouw spard!” said the panicky ski jump puppets. NEW CHHARACTER TIME so in order to make new character you must talk in webdings. SUDDENLY WE FLASH BACK TO AN arena in texas where boboba feet was challenging droody hick who was from the lame side. Sorbet. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? Huh huh, well boboba feet new it was from the orange juice curly fries o crap  Then in the arena they were battling in, they became bestest of buds. And folded in two. Ughh bu bub buh… But soon, droidy got old and got alzheimersughhh. Soon he forgot Boboba and stuff. Boboba got mad and annihilated him. Soon he flew off in a Spard. “Hey! Thass ouw otha spard!” Said the Panicky ski jump puppet people. And then it crashed into the Jaggernaut, which they were just about to put the finishing touches on. The spard became an escape pod that didn’t escape. But the Jaggernaut only lost a little plate which was now big deal to them. Sure they put food on it, but hey, it’s a plate! Then droidy wondered off, headless. And then the puppet peoples came and said “Dang, that was our last spard! But we can rebuild it in a honky tonk kind of way.” And so they rebuilt it in a honky tonk kind of way. And then huh huh (snicker) and then hee he! *SNGHHXX!* Hee hee hee! And then (snicker) they flewwit. (HOHOJHOHOHO) They crashed into the jaggernaut again. “I guess this would work better if we weren’t so panicky.” Said the puppets. But then they repaired it again and went to the merry old land of Oz, where a goose ate a moose with some juice before it was spilled on the hair that time forgot. Then Ebert & Roepert reviewed this Star Wars Story we were creating even though it was just “Jedi in the Toilet”. They says it rocked so much that they flushed themselves down the toilet. Two thumbs up, and then flushed.Then the jaggernaut left because of meals on wheels. He ran over Macey Quabbydobby again. The honky tonky ship hated seeing this and sung “I’m just a spard and life is a night mare” so obi wan went to the head shrinkers and picked up his dry kleaning for cosmetic reasons NOT he got his head shrunken The three vada children ran over him in his merchandise “cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh watermelon cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh Then they got fat and played in adultland  and did hopscotch and did a poogie and then got a gah bath. Talk talk talk, and blah blahblah talk, and the speed walker, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the subject got changed, just like in Monty Python. So now they are talking about Norwegian Flower pots isn’t that great kids? Now you can learn about Norwegian Flower pots. “Hey get of the stage” says the Norwegian Flower pot seller “This is my kind of show!” Even though it wasn’t his kind of show. Because for this to be his kind of show he’d have to be a Norwegian Flower pot, but he was just a Norwegian Flower pot seller. And as you may all know, Norwegian Flower pots come from Norwegia which is off the cost of the pacific ocean, and Jamie went to fast for me here and I forgot everything except him and Philip Elias meeting at the Rushin’ River And having a boogie because he was the only guitar player in the world and Phil was a simple Drummer and something something something something something something something something something something something. Yeah. We go back to the little golden droid with unkee breviouss head was standing on the pie droids body because the pie droid did not have a head soon they became great pals. Unfortunately, pie bot made a pinecone pie one day, which Unky Breevus Was deathly afraid of, so he went running home to his mother that drove a monster truck.ojne day the cool bot came and destroyed yodas house but he was dead and didn’t care. Suddenly the three darth vaders found the pig shoip in the earths core

They went inside the pigs sound and into its interior. Inside, they found a screen twenty two million feet high that said “Destroy the entire universe? Press the green button for yes, and the red button for yes.” Two buttons emerged that were seventy-million feet wide and high. They pressed green, after much pumping Iron.

Revision as of 13:23, 11 January 2009

This all starts out with a little droid with a little golden head. And he talks too much. Then one day as he was walking along, talking about the difference between a red droid and a blue droid to a blue droid, when he stumbled on old Yoda’s home. And he rang the door Bell. Old yoda stepped out, and was run over by a tank. But luckily, Yoda was able to jump into the compartment of the tank, and made it lose its armor!! Then, unfortunately, Yoda ran into the sunset and did not become a ghost Jedi. But he met Dumbledore and they went out for Ice Cream. So Yoda was gone and the gold droid just sat there and said “ALLO ALLO I AM AT YOUR door I don’t know what to say anymore. Meanwhile at and evil lab some where, “omigawsh” said a voice “Twins” and what do you know? had babies who where now fighting over his prize light saber. Then the doctor, Maceface, told his assistant, Bobbyfooot to push a button but there mother Miss Choogul, thought he was talking to her, and so she unleashed a ‘nother Darth Vadoi. “Ohmygawsh! Triplets” And then she said “Kids, stop fighting over the lightsaber. We’re going to Unky Breevis’s house.” So they went to Unky Breevis’s house. “Oh look! Relatives! Great timing! I just made a droid that makes pie” And so the droid made them some pie. But while they were eating there orange pie, “Laddidaddida, laddidaddida, laddidaddida, laddidaddida, laddidaddida” Masked Boogle told Unky that his collection of lightsabres looked stupendous hands and back. And he also commented on his new Mercedes in the driveway. The reason this was so horrible, this gave the kids a horrible idea. They all stole of Unky Breevis’s Lightsabres, including the one that they already had, and they hijacked his Mercedes and ran off with it while singing a song. They sang “O Canada” and “Boulevard of Pecan Soup” Because it was playing in the other yard. They also stole Unky Breevis’s legs, so he had to scoot around in orange pie “Laddidaddida, laddidaddida, laddidaddida, laddidaddida, laddidaddida” Seeing a giant Mercedes “a those horrible kids took my legs” macey Quabbydobby was alarmed and told his assistant boboba feet “We must take action” “Lets replace Unkee briveous's head with the little gold droids” “MMMM orange pie” “I talk to much” Orange pie spin!!! Masked Boogle suddenly said “Unky Breevis? You suddenly talk too much! And where did you get that fabulous gold paint? I could yoose it to paint my grandson’s birthday cake!” “But you don’t have a grandson!” said an anonymous contributor. “Oh yeh, you’re right. I should use it to paint my wife.” And so it was Miss Choogul the hologram that got painted. She also got the golden droids beautifly painted head, and her old one rolled away. Therefore Unky Breevus had no head. Then the Pie droid gave Unky Breevus a big old helping of Head. Good Pie Droid! Suddenly the Jaggernaut lost its front wheels, and went to the garage, which delayed the story quite a bit. So now while you are waiting, you will see the stars of “Coffee and Cigarettes” drink coffee and smoke cigarettes. OKalright, delay over, You’ve seen enough of Brad Pitt, even though you can’t even see him here. “Hooray For Napoleon Dynamite!” screamed the Jedi. “He caught Deb a delicious bass!” And so all of them went out to Delicious Plaza cheering and jeering for Napoleon Dynamite, when suddenly the Jaggernaut ran Napoleon Dynamite over. And then the Jedi say “Hey! That no good!” Even Macey with his new hairstyle and his daughter JC Penny was shaoting. Then the Jaggernaut ran them over. “But… we’re cool!” said Macey as his new Danish roll hairstyle flew into the air. The juggernaut kept going and ran into the Millennium Falcon, and he injured several pedestrians in the process, and lost its head. Which flew onto the Jedi Spard. “Hey, thass no’ cool; that’s ouw spard!” said the panicky ski jump puppets. NEW CHHARACTER TIME so in order to make new character you must talk in webdings. SUDDENLY WE FLASH BACK TO AN arena in texas where boboba feet was challenging droody hick who was from the lame side. Sorbet. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? Huh huh, well boboba feet new it was from the orange juice curly fries o crap Then in the arena they were battling in, they became bestest of buds. And folded in two. Ughh bu bub buh… But soon, droidy got old and got alzheimersughhh. Soon he forgot Boboba and stuff. Boboba got mad and annihilated him. Soon he flew off in a Spard. “Hey! Thass ouw otha spard!” Said the Panicky ski jump puppet people. And then it crashed into the Jaggernaut, which they were just about to put the finishing touches on. The spard became an escape pod that didn’t escape. But the Jaggernaut only lost a little plate which was now big deal to them. Sure they put food on it, but hey, it’s a plate! Then droidy wondered off, headless. And then the puppet peoples came and said “Dang, that was our last spard! But we can rebuild it in a honky tonk kind of way.” And so they rebuilt it in a honky tonk kind of way. And then huh huh (snicker) and then hee he! *SNGHHXX!* Hee hee hee! And then (snicker) they flewwit. (HOHOJHOHOHO) They crashed into the jaggernaut again. “I guess this would work better if we weren’t so panicky.” Said the puppets. But then they repaired it again and went to the merry old land of Oz, where a goose ate a moose with some juice before it was spilled on the hair that time forgot. Then Ebert & Roepert reviewed this Star Wars Story we were creating even though it was just “Jedi in the Toilet”. They says it rocked so much that they flushed themselves down the toilet. Two thumbs up, and then flushed.Then the jaggernaut left because of meals on wheels. He ran over Macey Quabbydobby again. The honky tonky ship hated seeing this and sung “I’m just a spard and life is a night mare” so obi wan went to the head shrinkers and picked up his dry kleaning for cosmetic reasons NOT he got his head shrunken The three vada children ran over him in his merchandise “cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh watermelon cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh cow a bun gahhhhh Then they got fat and played in adultland and did hopscotch and did a poogie and then got a gah bath. Talk talk talk, and blah blahblah talk, and the speed walker, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the subject got changed, just like in Monty Python. So now they are talking about Norwegian Flower pots isn’t that great kids? Now you can learn about Norwegian Flower pots. “Hey get of the stage” says the Norwegian Flower pot seller “This is my kind of show!” Even though it wasn’t his kind of show. Because for this to be his kind of show he’d have to be a Norwegian Flower pot, but he was just a Norwegian Flower pot seller. And as you may all know, Norwegian Flower pots come from Norwegia which is off the cost of the pacific ocean, and Jamie went to fast for me here and I forgot everything except him and Philip Elias meeting at the Rushin’ River And having a boogie because he was the only guitar player in the world and Phil was a simple Drummer and something something something something something something something something something something something. Yeah. We go back to the little golden droid with unkee breviouss head was standing on the pie droids body because the pie droid did not have a head soon they became great pals. Unfortunately, pie bot made a pinecone pie one day, which Unky Breevus Was deathly afraid of, so he went running home to his mother that drove a monster truck.ojne day the cool bot came and destroyed yodas house but he was dead and didn’t care. Suddenly the three darth vaders found the pig shoip in the earths core They went inside the pigs sound and into its interior. Inside, they found a screen twenty two million feet high that said “Destroy the entire universe? Press the green button for yes, and the red button for yes.” Two buttons emerged that were seventy-million feet wide and high. They pressed green, after much pumping Iron. The universe died. Meanwhile, in another dimension someone found a jedi robe in the toilet.
