Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 09, 2010

Again, I am in awe.

Or use the heads to play Roman history and stick them on a toothpick! (Or any country in medieval Europe)

Miss Bliss is nothing if not agile-minded. I guess being around the young’uns keeps her on her game!

Let’s see, should I teach the 5 year olds the French Revolution or the Back Plague today? Perhaps the book of Revelations? Is the school psychologist in today?

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…

Lewreader, the “Back Plague”? That must be a play about the backpacks the kids have to carry around at school.

Let them eat cake.

Where is Miss Bliss’ engagement ring? Did she call it off with Timmy?

Uh oh, I think I know who they’ll draft as Robespierre.. This could get bad.

Mister Headfinger haunts all neglected dolls, I think.

How about something more up to date? Pretend it’s “Shaun of the Dead”.

Anyone remember the Mad Magazine French Revolution parody to the tune of “Take me out to the Ball Game”…?

“… we’ll have the best revolution yet. We’ll kill the king and Marie Antoinette. So let’s root, root, root for the Headsman He’s got a blade that is keen And it’s off! Off! Off with their heads at the Guillotine!”

And there is the character in the Tick cartoons who had a hand puppet who was always disagreeing with him..

A favorite line went something like:

“where’s the Tick?” The puppet says -“he is in his tent, sulking like Achilles.”

“like a man from Chile?” The puppet shouts in response- “read a book!

Why does the blogger have to lose his head? Why not the other puppets of people that aren’t around today?

The other puppets are losing their heads. He said that the heads keep falling off of THESE OLD PUPPETS………plural! Oh well, I’m the dummy responding to a ten-year-old post!
