The Academy: A Play in Two Acts

[attack_laurel]

Act One:  A delightful grassy courtyard, people sitting on benches.  Two depressed-looking apprentices come out, with a board strung between them, roped around their necks.  This is the lectern.  A dapper gentleman in a very fine appliqued doublet walks up to the "lectern", throwing candy cigarettes to the audience.  He smiles.

Ah, Tobacco.

Thank you all for a great evening!

The speeches and the entire Attack Laurel Academy are really really ridiculous parody/satire, and the Attack Laurel Academy is completely fictional, so you can stop worrying and sleep safe at night knowing that there are, in fact, no ravening Attack Laurels wandering the streets, lusting to destroy your artistic endeavours.

No? Oh damn! And I thought I'd found my spiritual home... ;)

Pssst - you can still play. People who get the joke get to play with me. You need a good sense of humour when I'm around. :)

You like me! You really like me!

Freddy eating the ticket was utterly awesome. I nearly choked!

It was completely spontaneous, too - I had no idea he would go through with it. He said it tasted bitter, but the alcohol afterwards killed the taste. :)

Oh that is priceless! A thing of beauty. I've read it through twice just in sheer awe of how charming it is!

...I'm looking at YOU, Chess Club.

Thanks for a lovely and entertaining evening. It was nice to finally meet you and some of the usual suspects from your comments board.

It's sort of sad you need to add the disclaimer... Probably wise, but still sort of sad that people don't get the concepts of satire and play. :P

Thanks again!

There is at least one person out there who claims the Attack Laurels are real, and that I'm a horrible person who claims it's a joke so I can get away scot-free with being a vile person.

The Vortex of Evil had several people ask them if it was real, or what, so yes, I need the disclaimer. :) Doesn't mean I can't have fun with it, though. Hee!

*sigh* It's sad that some people have teh dumb. :P Luckily, it's a fun toy that we don't have to share with those who don't get it.

Oh they can go in the corner and pee their pants. I am so sick and tired of the quivering masses blaming us for their psychosis-level insecurties.

Jump in the deep end or get out of the pool, ya wusses!
