[part nine: fill] Tea Time Entertainment [England, America]
Title: Tea Time Entertainment
Author: Tropicalna @ FF.net
Type: Fic.
Status: Complete.
Characters, Pairings: England, America, George Washington, OCs.
Rating: 1 Star.
Original Request: All right--oldie but goodie (IMHO). If this has been requested/filled (PLEASE) before, do point me to the link, kind anons!
Onward, then: so, anon here completely forgot about this hilarious "public service announcement" on NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! (see link) until they rebroadcasted it for the New Year in Review. (...Yeah, I'm a nerd :P)
This is the original story by Telegraph.co.uk (see link); and this is Ally Fog's most amusing commentary on the story (Guardian) (see link)--and where I swiped the title for this request's subject heading XD. (If you get the chance, skim the comments ♥ They're incredibly interesting to read through (especially the links to other headlines), and more amusing than not. I love British humour ♥)
For those of you short on time, I'll summarize: An estimated 25 million Brits have been injured (somehow) at least once in their lives by BISCUITS, with 500 people ending up in the hospital. Stripping this from Wait Wait: most commonly reported injuries were burns endured while dunking in tea, choking on crumbs, or breaking a tooth on a particularly hard one. Oh, and 3% of respondents in the survey reported poking themselves in the eye--while 7% of respondents said that they were bitten by a pet or "other wild animal" which was trying to get their cookie.
...PAUSE FOR A MOMENT WHILE I TRY NOT TO CHOKE ON MY LAUGHTER.
(Although, whether or not this is entirely true is up for debate (see link below) XD)
SO. This is the request: I would like to see a crack fic (even a few sentences would do!) based around Arthur/England and/or other Brits (if anons choose to do so) being injured by cookies/biscuits in some way or another. This can include Arthur burning his dainty little fingers while dunking (LOL), getting bitten by Her Majesty's corgis, and/or nearly getting blinded from flying crumbs.
Multiple fills, art fills, or any fill will be much loved and appreciated ♥
BONUS x 1000000
If you somehow incorporate Peter Sagal's mockery via America/Alfred's mouth:
"I submit to you members of the Continental Congress that a people that stick cookies in their eyes are not fit to rule this independent colony."
Summary: Biscuits are dangerous.
