The evil fairy was nonplussed by the cashier's ruse, because it knew about the danger of mixing pop rocks and Coke.

The intrepid young man took advantage of the evil fairy's confusion, brandishing the latest thrilling issue of Dollsteak the Untamable.  Forgetting his fizz, he thwacked away madly.

mediocre

Godot

But he got mediocre results. The cashier got up and used the paddle and the fizz to pat the evil satanic scary fairy with. Then, the evil fairy died. The evil fairy was finished. Completely finished.

"Thank goodness for pop rocks and Dollsteak comic books, huh?" says the cashier.

Just then, the young man stopped. He had seen the original issue of Waiting for Godot it was right next to a copy of Dollsteak and the Rock Stars.

It was widely known that Dollsteak had spawned more spinoffs and alternate universes and such things than even the X-Men.

McDonald's
Darian

"Erm...yes, thank goodness indeed" agrees the young man.  Grabbing an assortment of comics he takes them over to the cashier.

"I'll take these please" he says.

"Sure, and my name's Darian by the way" professes the cashier.

"Thanks Darian! Hey, do you know if there's a McDonalds round here? I'm starving."

"The only McDonalds around here is the upside down one," says Darian.

"Upside down?" asks the young man.

"Yes, you'll have to get there through the stairwell that looks like an M. C. Escher painting," says Darian, "And find out where I am. I haven't been posting at ASWoT."

The young man leaves the store with his new comic books and begins to search for the stairwell that looks like an M. C. Escher painting so that he can eat at McDonald's.

I really like this thread, but I will shut it down if no one has posted to it within the next three days.

((I know I'm posting out of turn, but I like this game very much. I'll just have to hope that my post restarts it.))

Maybe Darian's monologue was just babble. Maybe he really wanted a steak. But if so, fate was not without a sense of irony, for he found the staircase that looked like it was out of an M. C. Escher painting lickety split.

Climbing the stairs, he wondered which direction to go, as two staircases went off in different directions at one of the Y-intersections. Then he saw it: the McDonalds.

Elsewhere while eating a banana spilt and evil godess plotted to resurect old games lickety split because she likes to make dead things alive again...

Tango
Marsupial

If she runs into the young man, she'll have to tangle with some foam, a paddle, and a marsupial, because the young man still has the exotic book with which he banished the Satanic fairy.

Eating his fries, the young man is satisfied.

earthquake
stores

Then, however, an earthquake shakes town. Through the (upside down) window of the Mcdonalds the young man can only look as the stores of the city tumble into a deep rift in the ground, including Charisma's evil comic store.

The young man looks nervously at the greasy fella standing at the cash register.

Dhoomsday
Elephants

"It's perhaps Dhoomsday," says the man at the counter. "Soon the elephants will appear."

"Dhoomsday? Elephants?" the young man asks. "What do you mean?"

Entanglement
Green

"Dhoomsday. The knight of doom and elephants." the greasy man replies

"His request for world domination was completely entangled in red tape, and when the request form suddently disappeared one day he swore revenge on the world. That's why Mcdonalds has begun to build their restaurants in different dimensions, like this one."

At a corner table a woman with far too much eyeshadow sighs "Whoa.. green."

Fifth Element
Rye

"Some would sally forth, but I would rather have a fifth.  Element or particle, what is in this drink before me?" This, the greasy an added with a rye smile.

daze
days

"My god that's alot of eye shadow"! the young man yelled.
To which the women looked up and replied "whoa...yelling" and then continued to dunk her rye bread into her warm pea soup.
"How can I stop this dhoomsday?!" the man yelled, as he was fond of doing, at the shopkeep.
"You must use the 5th element" The shopkeep said
"Is that lady with the pa soup the 5th element?" he said
"No shes only the 3 and a half but I suppose she will do" the shopkeep replied
"Whoa...soup" the lady noted.

Hot pants
Angela Lansbury

To which the greasy man replied, "That makes about as much sense as hot pants on Angela Lansbury!"

After a brief spell of retching, "If you really want to prevent the dhoomsday, you must first lead your marsupial in a tango.  While you are in the middle of dancing, you must then put the animal into clothing.  Above all, you cannot let the marsupial learn about your plans."

Drug
Eucalyptus

"By the way, what's your name?" asked the greasy man.
"Johnny Eucalyptus," the boy replied.  "And how do I get a marsupial to tango with me?"
"Drugs," the shopkeep answered.

cherry cola
woofers

"Eh.. which drugs?" Johnny asked

"Cherry Coke." the greasy man replied flatly "With woofers."


Aphrodite
Gung-ho

"Where are they?" Johnny asked.

"Behind my statue of Aphrodite," said the shopkeeper.

Gung-ho as can be, Johnny ran to get them, but accidentally tipped over the statue.


pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
servovalve

Running to get the servovalve, the greasy man comes back and uses it on Johnny. "That was close," he says, "tripping over the statue usually causes pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis within seconds."

Johnny looks confused.

field

"By the way," says the greasy man, holding out his hand, "my name is Ray, and I'm an expert in servovalves, though I usually use them for mechanical purposes, not pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis."

"Good to meet you," says Johnny.  "You sure are outstanding in your field."

turtling
fillip

"No I'm not. I'm sitting here in this bar with you."

Ray opens a set of shuttered windows that overlook a lovely spring meadow on a clear November afternoon.  The stars peer through the dark and evil looking clouds.  Standing in the middle if the field is a lone individual.

Ray points. "He is out standing in his field."

Johnny squints at the afore mentioned stranger, "Who’s that?"

Shocked at Johnny’s ignorance, Ray replies, "Why that’s the largest property owner in the entire land.  That’s Mr. Fillip Turtling.  He owns every single field, meadow, pasture, and pinball arcade."

             flibbertigibbets
             kimono

"So why is he wearing a kimono in that field?" Johnny asks.

Ray leans in close and whispers conspiratorially, "It's because of the flibbertigibbets."


quasar
monk

"That makes about as much sense as a quasar in a bathroom."

"Would you believe that he's a monk having a party with all of his friends?"

thieves

kernel

"No I would not but thanks anyways" Johnny Eucalyptus said and runing over grabbed the women with the pea soup.
"Whoa...leaving" The women replied and followed Johnny out the door.
They ran across the field to the kimono wearing Mr. Turtling.
"Where can I find the Tango marsupial?" Johnny yelled "I have to stop the improperly spelled dhoomsday"
"I'll not tell you, you're nothing but a pack of dirty thieves!" The man yelled.
"Ah but I have the third and a half element...go pea soup lady!"

Suddenly without warning the pea soup lady ran forward and did a handspring landing next to Mr. Turtling. She jumped in the air trying to back round kick the mans face but her attack was easily ducked.
"Ahaha you attacks are but a kernel to my cobb pea soup lady" Mr. turtling yelled.

Folding fan
Katana

From the folds of his kimono, the man produced a folding fan.  He batted his eyelashes a moment and opened the fan.  A thin katana fell out of the fan and into his outstretched hand.

"We just want the marsupial," Johnny said.  "We already have the Cherry Coke."

"Ah," the man said wide-eyed, "You speak of dhooms..." [fit of coughing] "...err...doomsday."

"Have you seen the marks all around town? It's coming, doomsday. It's a day when backpacks will topple skyscrapers. We'll all perish."
