FLAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heee. :D Mozzie is always reliable crack-fodder.

He probably has some interesting things to say about nursery rhymes, too.

[elrhiarhodan]

That would be quite the meme! I need to think on this. seriously - how would Mozzie rewrite, say, Rumplestiltskin? Cinderella?

[qwertyfaced]

Rumpelstiltskin is obviously a parable about how parents are lured by the seductive, materialistic Über-Class into selling their children's welfare in order to gain entry into the ranks, at which point they will do increasingly unpalatable things to remain in their new social tribe. Each step only takes them in deeper. Eventually, of course, this devil's bargain results in their children perpetuating the cycle, creating the smug and hypocritical bourgeoisie. :D

OMG - this is so Mozzie!

[qwertyfaced]

:D I love Mozzie. He's a blast.

[reve_silencieux]

That... was fantastic. I knew Mozzie could inspire weirdness, but this? ROFL

I think one of the best plotlines the writers came up with is Mozzie the babysitter. And you take it to a whole new level. :D Thanks!

[qwertyfaced]

You set it off! :D And I think it was your comment, too, that sparked the Mozzie's-take-on-children's-books bunny. Green Eggs and Ham was my favorite Dr. Seuss when I was little, and I still remember most of it by heart, so it was a natural choice.

Also, I was tickled by "Uncle Sam-I-Am" when that occurred to me.

I adore Mozzie and Theo together.

[leesa_perrie]

LOL!!! Oh Mozzie!!! LOL!!

Diana won't ask him to read to Theo again me thinks! :) :)

[qwertyfaced]

No, she'll probably be terrified of the spin he'd put on any other stories. :D She probably shouldn't let them watch Disney movies together, either.

So, so Mozzie!

[qwertyfaced]

:D As soon as you add Mozzie to any fic, the crazy just happens. He doesn't just embody it, he generates it.
