Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?
Jansens, Jansens,
It must be Jansens!!!
(or it could be griffins)

Here's a new one, just finished writing...Its probably not my best work, It doesn't seem to sing all that well...

Sola!

I met him in a city in the Underdark
He was a drow elf with skin as black as Coca-Cola,
C O C A, Cola

He was waiting for me near the city gates
I asked for his name and in a gravelly voice he said "Sola"
S O L A, Sola
So-so-so-so Sola

Well, he's been around, and he's been to school
He quotes poetry, and he's even made Boo Two,
Oh, my Sola
So-so-so-so Sola

Well, I'm not dumb, but I don't know why
All these spider chicks treat him like he's their favorite fly
Oh, my Sola
So-so-so-so Sola So-so-so-so Sola

Well, I left Amn just a week before
But even in the Underdark they got me running a chore
Solafein, he helped me to switch the egg,
So that Phaere could be taken down a peg.

Well I'm not the kind that would forget a friend,
So the dark elf came with us, we're just following a trend
With my Sola
So-so-so-so Sola So-so-so-so Sola

Sola
So-so-so-so Sola So-so-so-so Sola

Well I am the Child,
And I have the Taint,
I'm no bloody saint,
While questions spun my head
This was what that darned Sola said

"I do what I must when I must."
Realizing he was still not voiced, I was just a little fussed
Oh, my Sola
So-so-so-so Sola

You know, Wes came up with quite a card,
Though maybe the encounters shouldn't be so hard
Oh, my Sola
So-so-so-so Sola

Well, I met these elves in their little camp
Now I have to find their stupid lost lamp
Back in Amn, Bodhi stole Sola that night,
And I couldn't believe how hard was that fight,

Well after those evil stone heads gave me the sign
I'm so glad I had Sola Weimerfein
Tob with my Sola
So-so-so-so Sola So-so-so-so Sola

So-so-so-so Sola So-so-so-so Sola
So-so-so-so Sola So-so-so-so Sola

So-so-so-so Sola So-so-so-so Sola
So-so-so-so Sola So-so-so-so Sola

So-so-so-so Sola So-so-so-so Sola
So-so-so-so Sola So-so-so-so Sola

As Jason pointed out in commentary on "Sola" that song didn't really sing all that well...since I went for grins more than melody...here's one that worked perfectly on both grins and melody...

----------------------------------

Xzar's Family

He's creepy and he's kooky,
And Monty's short and spooky,
They're not altogether Ook-ay,
The Xzar's Family.

His obession's to create a golem.
Cause zombies are beginning to bore him.
Zombie heads wobble when you bowl-em,
The Xzar's Family.

Neat

Sweet

Petite

So if you want a custom zombie,
and you don't want to order from Abercrombie's,
Just avoid mentioning the BUNNIES,
while you're with Xzar's Family.

http://www.geocities.com/tvshowthemelyrics/FlipperSong.html

here's a couple based on the "Flipper" theme song... :D

-----------------------------------------------------

Viconia

They call her Viconia, Viconia De Vir,
No one you see, is sluttier than she...
And we know Viconia, Viconia De Vir,
Will spice up a party,how lucky are we!!!

Everyone loves the bad girl you see,
So kind and gentle is she,(NOT!!!)
Tricks she will do when she pleases,
And their tongues will drop to their kneeses!

They call her Viconia, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, can disrobe faster than she,
And we know Viconia, is a creature of wonder,
And she belongs utterly to me!

-------------------------------------------------

Imoen

They call her Imoen, Imoen, Goddess of Mischief,
No-one you see, is trickier than she,
And we know Imoen, rules a world full of cuteness,
Coolest of the goddesses, don't you agree?

Everyone loves the Queen of Pranksters,
She is the ultimate funster,
Tricks she will do when other gods appear,
She even managed to goose Ao's rear!
Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?
Jansens, Jansens,
It must be Jansens!!!

At Cliffette's request, I literally whipped up a version of Barry Manilow's Copacabana...(5 minutes)

Remember, it was at Cliffette's request, so its her fault... :D :D :D

-----------------------------------------------

Solacabana by User Unmanilow

His name was Sola, he was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in his hair in a transvestite bar you know where
He would merengue and do the cha-cha
But while he tried to be a star,
Charname tended bar
Across the crowded floor, he worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Sola (SO!), Solacabana (Solacabana)
The hottest spot north of Athkatla(here)
At the Sola(SO!), Solacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Sola....they fell in love.

His name was Ano. He wore a diamond.
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Sola dancing there
And when he finished, he called him over,
But Anomen went a bit too far,
Charname sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?

At the Sola (SO!), Solacabana (Solacabana)
The hottest spot north of Athkatla(here)
At the Sola(SO!), Solacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Sola....they fell in love.

Sola... Solacabana... music and passion... always the fashion...

His name was Sola, he was a showgirl,
But that was 30 years ago, before his nosehair started to show.
Now it's a disco, but not for Sola,
Still in the dress he used to wear,
Faded feathers in his hair.
He sits there so refined, and drinks himself half-blind.
He lost his youth and he lost his Charname,
Now he's lost his mind!

At the Sola (SO!), Solacabana (Solacabana)
The hottest spot north of Athkatla(here)
At the Sola(SO!), Solacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Sola....don't fall in love.

Here's a version of Rosanna by Toto...yes I am a Toto fan...

----------------------------------------------

Viconia  by  Tobtob

All I wanted to do when I first saw you in leather was to run away
Viconia, Viconia
I never thought that a girl like you would ever let me live, Viconia
I can still see that shiny rubber hug your body so very tight
Viconia, Viconia
I didn't know pleasure and pain were all the same

Not quite a year since you changed to good, Viconia yeah
My dark Mistress is gone, and I have to say,

whip me all the way, whip me all the way, Viconia yeah
whip me all the way, whip me all the way, Viconia yeah

I can see your face still shining on the shield you wore with pride
Viconia, Viconia
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Viconia
All I want is another taste of your black leather riding crop
Viconia, Viconia
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad

whip me all the way, whip me all the way, Viconia yeah
whip me all the way, whip me all the way, Viconia yeah

He remains a Turnip Gnome!

The Party: He remains a Turnip Gnome!

Saravok: He remains a Turnip Gnome!
For he himself has said it,
And it's greatly to his credit,
That he remains a Turnip Gnome!

The Party: That he remains a Turnip Gnome!

Saravok: For he might have eaten a radish,
A onion, or carrot, or cabbage,
Or perhaps some summer squash!

The Party: Or perhaps some summer squash!

Saravok:But in spite of all temptations
To eat other taste sensations,
He remains a Turnip Gnome!
He remains a Turnip Gnome!

The Party: For in spite of all temptations
To eat other taste sensations,
He remains a Turnip Gnome!
He remains a Turnip Gnome!

saravok: Damn you Jan Jansen...ever since you had to cast that spell in the wild surge room at Watchers Keep, I keep breaking into song!!! I've fought as a foot soldier at the height of the Blood War, I've almost ignited a confligration that would have consumed the entire Sword Coast, yet to my second dying day, the most horrific memory I'll have is singing in the shower "I'm going to wash that taint right out of my hair" while Charname was giggling like a dememted loon waiting for his turn...

Jan: Well, Savvy, just think of it as practicing your singing voice!

Saravok: SNARL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turnip!

Baby, can’t you see
I’m calling,
A root like you
Should wear a warning
It’s dangerous
I’m fallin’

There’s no escape
I can’t hide
I need a bite
Baby, give me it
You’re dangerous
I’m lovin’ it

Too high
Can’t come down
Losing my head
Spinning ‘round and ‘round
Hear that crunch now

With a taste on my lips
I’m on a ride
You’re TURNIP!
I’m slipping under
With a taste of veggie paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re TURNIP!
And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re TURNIP!

It’s getting late
To give you up
I took a bite
From my veggie cup
Slowly
It’s taking over me

Too high
Can’t come down
It’s in the air
And it’s all around
Hear that crunch now

With a taste on my lips
I’m on a ride
You’re TURNIP!
I’m slipping under
With a taste of veggie paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re TURNIP!
And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re TURNIP!

Don't you know that you're TURNIP!

With a taste on my lips
I’m on a ride
You’re TURNIP!
I’m slipping under
With a taste of veggie paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re TURNIP!

Intoxicate me now
With your crunch now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your crunch now
I'm ready now

"Whew!!! Its hot in here!" said Britney Spears as she fanned herself under the hot glaring lights of the production set. The young blonde hunk who had been so assiduously french kissing Britney pulled off the last of the geeky middle aged man mask. Britney reached into the cooler, and grabbing a can of Diet Pepsi, popped the top and took a deep drink.

"Excuse me, Ms. Spears, I thought the song I was hired on for was called 'Toxic'"? asked the young scandinavian model with a puzzled tone.

"Well, we decided to change the lyrics just before the shoot." said Britney with a perky toss of her blonde hair. The young man shrugged. *No, it couldn't be!* he thought to himself.

"Urm...Ms. Spears, do you have another drink?" asked the young blonde hunk as he saw Britney Spears sipping on a Pepsi. She reached into the communal cooler, and handed him a can.

"Thank you very much...this isn't regular pepsi..." said the young blonde hunk as he took a deep gulp of the beverage. Britney grinned, and grabbing an invisible zipper mounted on the top of the can pulled it down, to reveal the real can.

"Its actually Pepsi Twist!" said Britney with a grin. The can's sides peeled away to reveal "Pepsi Twist" emblazoned on the aluminum can, covered with dewy condensation.

"Pepsi Twist?" said the young blonde hunk. He grinned suddenly, and he reached up to the top of his head, and pulled on a zipper, and as the two halves of his all body mask peeled away, under it was revealed a sandy haired young man, with a full beard and moustache.

"And I'm not a blonde kickboxer from Denmark named Jorg, I'm actually Anomen Delryn, Knight of Helm!" said the former Jorg. He gave his trademark brilliant smile, pealy teeth flashing and grinned at the very surprised pop singer. His smile faltered as Britney laughed delightedly.

"And I'm not Britney Spears..." said Britney Spears. She reached up, pulled at a zipper mounted on the top of the head. Her exterior body peeled away to reveal a short, plump gnome, with a full beard, moustache, bulging eyes and a puckish grin.

"I'm Jan Jansen!!!" said Jan.

----------------------------------------------------------------

ah, yes...the sound of dozens of readers screaming and clawing at their eyes...sweet music...
Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?

---------------------------------------------------

Vegetarian Rhapsody
Words and music by Freddie Mercury, adapted by Userunfriendly

Is this the real life-
Is this just an RPG-
Caught in Athkatla-
My escape from reality-
Turn on your monitor
Look at your screen and see-
A gnome just getting by,he needs no sympathy-
Because turnips come,turnips go,
Profits high,profits low,
If I sell these turnips,doesn't really matter to me,
To me

Mama,I won't bribe the man,
Trax is out of his head,
No selling Bruiser Mates, (he said)
Mama, career had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didn't mean to make you cry-
If I'm jailed again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on, nothing really matters-

Too late, my time has come,
Trax caught me just this time-
He is such a sticky slime,
Goodbye everybody-I've got to go-
Uncles, Cousins, nephews, and nieces all
Mama ooo- (I think this really blows)
I don't want to go,
Maybe I should have bribed old Trax after all-

I see a little silhouetto of a gnome,
CrunchyTurnips, CrunchyTurnips, juices running down his chin-
Jailcell and lockup-very very frightening me-
ChildofBhaal,ChildofBhaal,
ChildofBhaal,ChildofBhaal,
ChildofBhaal, help me so-Magnifico!!!
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
He's just a poor boy from a gnomish family-
Spare him his life from this travesty-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
DamnyouJan! No-,we will not let you go-let him go-
DamnyouJan! We will not let you go-let him go
DamnyouJan! We will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
StinkyTrax has a jailcell put aside for me, for me, for me-

So you think you can jail me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can jail me and leave me to die-
Oh Traxy-Can't do this to me Traxy-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

I think this really blows....

Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?
Jansens, Jansens,
It must be Jansens!!!

They're Coming to Take Me Away!!!

Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to
leave because I'd go berserk?? Well...
You all left me anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see
I've gone completely out of my mind.. And..
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the Asylum, Spellhold. Where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be
happy to see those nice Cowled Enforcers in their clean white robes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!!!

Imoen thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you all laughed when she said the silly gnome was ruler of all.. RIGHT???
I know she laughed, I heard you laugh, you all laughed you laughed and
laughed and then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad... And..


They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa,
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.
To the Asylum, Spellhold. Where they'll make way for the Ruler of All and my undergarments will not shrink two sizes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!

I cast your spells, I used my sling, and this is how you pay me back
for all my kind unselfish heroic deeds.. Huh??
Well you just wait, they'll find you yet and when they do they'll put you
in the Underdark, you mangy mutt!!! And...

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.
To the Asylum, Spellhold. Where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be
happy to see those nice Cowled Enforcers in their clean white robes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!
To the Asylum, Spellhold. Where they'll make way for the Ruler of All and my undergarments will not shrink two sizes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haa!!!
To the Asylum, Spellhold. Where they'll make way for the Ruler of All and... (fade out)

Hey, Tiax!
Yes, Lonk..
Is that your underwear you're wearing on your head?
No Lonk, its the latest fashion hat from Calimshite, ha ha ha....

Oh dear god...I was going to write a story and song about what if Jan was a child of Bhaal too, and at the throne he ascended, cause the Pc and Imoen wanted to remain human...but the story didn't work right, so I just wrote the song...its a parody of a song in Monty Python and the Meaning of Life...most of you will recognize it... :-[ :-[ :-[

The Turnip Song


Every Turnip is sacred.
Every Turnip is great.
If a Turnip is wasted,
Jan gets quite irate.

Every Turnip is sacred.
Every Turnip is great.
If a Turnip is wasted,
Jan gets quite irate.

Let the griffins spit theirs
Out on the dusty ground.
Jan shall make them pay for
Each turnip that can't be found.

Every turnip is wanted.
Every turnip is good.
Every turnip is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Cynric, Sharian, Lolithian,
Toss theirs just anywhere,
But Jan loves those who treat their
Roots with a lot more care.

Every Turnip is sacred.
Every Turnip is great.
If a Turnip is wasted,
Jan gets quite irate.

Every turnip is wanted.
Every turnip is good.
Every turnip is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Every turnip is useful.
Every turnip is fine.
Jan wants everybody's,
eaten before they start to slime!

Let the Pagan toss theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
Jan shall strike them down for
Each turnip that rots in vain.

Every turnip is wanted.
Every turnip is good.
Every turnip is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Every Turnip is sacred.
Every Turnip is great.
If a Turnip is wasted,
Jan gets quite irate.
Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?
Jansens, Jansens,
It must be Jansens!!!

Turnip Stew

Love, Turnip-Stew.
I love Turnip-Stew,
Without some I'm blue,
So please-ese, Turnip-Stew.
Yum-mmm, Turnip-Stew.

Love, Turnip-Stew.
I love Turnip-Stew,
Without some I'm blue,
So please-ese, Turnip-Stew.
Yum-mmm, Turnip-Stew.

Turnips I love,
Diced in a stew.
Need a lot of,
Fresh Turnip-Stew.

Love, Turnip-Stew.
I love Turnip-Stew,
Without some I'm blue,
So please-ese, Turnip-Stew.
Yum-mmm, Turnip-Stew.

Love, Turnip-Stew.

Without some I'm blue,
So please-ese, Turnip-Stew.
Yum-mmm, Turnip-Stew.
Yeah-ah, Turnip-Stew.
Spicy, Turnip-Stew.

"NO JAN, WE ARE NOT HAVING TURNIP STEW AGAIN TONIGHT!" shouted Charname.

"Be reasonable Charname, since the siege began, food supplies in Saradush are awfully low. Its either Turnip-Stew again, or we have to start chewing on our boots." spoke Aerie placatingly.

"Ok, here you go." said Charname as he took off his Boots of Avoidance.

Everyone gathered around the cookpot eyeing it with hunger on their face, as the tough leather began to give off a mouth-watering aroma as it boiled. Only Jan sat off to the side happily chewing on a turnip.

Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?

A Spoon Full Of Turnips

In ev'ry turnip story that must be sold
The story must begin quite bold!
but even the best audience it must be told,
can find the same stories just too old...

And when the wee one's attention wanders
from the turnip parable they should ponder,
give them something they are fonder,
keep them grounded and not in the wild blue yonder

That a...
a spoon full of turnips helps the Jan stories go down
The Jan stories go down-wown
The Jan stories go down
Just a spoon full of turnips helps the Jan stories go down
without driving you insane today!
Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?
Jansens, Jansens,
It must be Jansens!!!

WARNING!!!
Major spoilers for the movie "Shrek 2" in this story and song.  Please skip this if you have not seen the movie, especially since it kinda doesn't make sense without seeing the movie.

I Need a Turnip!

Where have all good foods gone
I'm sure I just misunderstood
Where’s the streetcarts full of produce
That were in this neighborhood?

A growing gnomish lass, needs more than chicken feed.
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a Turnip
I’m holding out for a turnip ‘til the end of the night
It’s gotta be Fresh
And It’s gotta be plump
And it’s gotta crunch when you bite
I need a Turnip
Just to tide me over ‘til the morning light
Hunger's sure cure
And taste to make you swoon
And every morsel a complete delight

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
In the veggie crisper, just behind the brie

Seperate the egg white, rising with the heat
I need a turnip souffle to sweep me off my feet

I need a Turnip
I’m holding out for a turnip ‘til the end of the night
It’s gotta be Fresh
And It’s gotta be plump
And it’s gotta crunch when you bite
I need a Turnip
Just to tide me over ‘til the morning light
Hunger's sure cure
And taste to make you swoon
And every morsel a complete delight

Will satisfy the most demanding gourmet
And the epicurian too,
Baked into a pie, mashed, broiled, fried,
Even Stew.
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I head for the green grocer,
Satisfy my taste-bud!

I need a Turnip
I’m holding out for a turnip ‘til the end of the night
It’s gotta be Fresh
And It’s gotta be plump
And it’s gotta crunch when you bite
I need a Turnip
Just to tide me over ‘til the morning light
Hunger's sure cure
And taste to make you swoon
And every morsel a complete delight!

As the Former Fairy Godmother of Far, Far Away finished her number, all the gnomes in the Copper Coronet clapped and cheered her performance.  She made her bows and ran into her dressing room, careful not to let her audience or the staff of the pub see the fury in her eyes.

It has been a hard year for her, and the song reminded her every time she sang it about how very close she had been to marrying Charming to Fiona.  It reminded her of that (deleted) Pinocchio, that repellent and disgusting stick boy, and how at that night in the castle courtyard, he turned her own wand against her and sent her into this hell-begotten place.  It reminded her of that disgusting Shrek, and his vile friends, and how in the end her beautifully constructed and masterful plans all fell into ruin.

She had clawed her way back, oh yes, it took much sweat and tears, but she had managed to claw her way back despite the obstacles in her path.  The loss of her wings hurt, but her new form had its compensations.  She was now a beautiful elven maiden, and she took the time to admire her angelic innocence and fresh beauty.  It made her plans easier.  However, her new form and class kept her from using properly the one artifact she had in her possession.  The Short Sword of Illusion could not be used by a cleric. But there was more than one way to skin a cat, and her new body offered her a way to use the sword despite being unable to wield it. 

It was child's play to seduce that young gnomish illusionist/thief, and centuries of experience in lovemaking had him in her complete thrall.  The Former Fairy Godmother of Far, Far Away grabbed her bulging purse, and donned her cloak in preparation in heading out to the apothecary to purchase her ingredients.  She had been forced to take a singing job, moonlighting as a singer in this vile place, for the gold necessary to purchase the components of her hypnotic potions.  Without dosing regularly the staff of the circus, they would remember how she really joined them, and even her "Uncle" Quayle would remember she wasn't a flightless Avariel, but a powerful mage who had terrorized them into taking her out of the wilderness where they had found her. 

It was also time to renew her hold over young Kalah, who was using her Short Sword of Illusion to create a perfect Simulacrum of her, which was asleep in her cot in the wagon of her "Uncle" Quayle.  She needed the gold from her nightly forays into the seedier side of Athkatla, to increase her horde of gold coin.  Of course she had already taken the lion's share of the Circuse's profits, but she needed much more, much, much more to buy one of those fabulously expensive scrolls of "Wish".  It was her last hope for returning to Far, Far Away, to take her sweet, sweet revenge against Shrek, Fiona, and their friends.  She headed out the back door of the Coronet, her face dreamy with thought of all the things she would do to her enemies.

Meanwhile, back at the Circus, Kalah was also deep in thought.  He had finally managed to decipher the cryptic and arcane runes etched into the sword, and he began to plan of all the things he would do to everyone who had laughed at him.  Starting with the Former Fairy Godmother of Far, Far Away.  Because she had needed someone to use the sword's powers of illusion, she couldn't dose him with the hypnotic potions that allowed her to implant false memories of her origin, and her exploiting of the Circus for her own designs.  She had trusted to her sexual prowess in keeping Kalah under control, but no, the Great and Powerful Kalah was no one's lapdog!!!  He WOULD take the power that was promised to him, he WOULD have his revenge on the Former Fairy Godmother...he knew she laughed at him too, she laughed and laughed at him.  She laughed at him silently while she plied her skills in bed, she laughed when she left his wagon at night, she laughed every time she saw him...and she always laughed after giving him her instructions for all the things he was to do with the Short Sword of Illusion, for she was sure of her hold over him.  Well, we'll see who laughs last.  He had figured out months ago what his revenge would be over his slavemistress and lover...he would put her into the most repulsive form he could imagine, into the shape of an Ogre.  It was so fitting, since an Ogre had taken her away from her former place of power, according to her stories, that she assume the hideous appearance of her greatest enemies.  Kalah began to laugh, and while it bothered him after a bit that he couldn't stop laughing, the noise of the storm outside kept anyone from inquiring too closely.

"Aerie" approached the wagons and tents of the Circus, her pouch leaner, but a string bag bulging with the toadstools, and mummy dust her potion needed.  She still had a full night of potionmaking and spellcasting to do, and if she was to get some sleep before tomorrow's performance she had best get to it.

Everyone should recognize this song... ;D ;D ;D

-------------------------------

I'm a Paladin...

Jan Jansen: Oh, woe is me, I hate my life!  Bugger this pitiful life of mine, as a thief-illusionist!  Sod it!  I want to be a....a....Paladin!

Jan Jansen: Oh, I'm a Paladin, and I'm okay,
I snore all night and I smite all day.

Shadow Thieves: He's a Paladin, and he's okay,
He snores all night and he smites all day.

Jan Jansen: I smite stinky orcs, I eat my lunch,
I go to the Outhouse.
If I'm out in the wide wilderness,
I just use a furry mouse.
 
Shadow Thieves: He smites stinky orcs, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the Outhouse.
If he's out in the wide wilderness,
He just uses a furry mouse.
 
Jan Jansen: I smite stinky orcs, I skip and jump,
I like to polish my stuff.
I put on ladies's clothing,
And watch other knights scream and huff.
 
Shadow Thieves: He smites stinky orcs, he skips and jumps,
He likes to polish his stuff.
He puts on women's clothing
And watch other knights scream and huff???????

Jan Jansen: I smite stinky orcs, I wear high heels,
Panties and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa.
 
Shadow Thieves: He smites stinky orcs, he wears high heels
Panties and a .... a Bra????

Aerie(crying): I thought you were so rugged!
Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?

Ok, another Weird Al piece...

muds are the forerunner of today's multiplayer on-line fantasy games...

http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/robert-palmer/116935.html

Robert Palmer did "Addicted to Love"

then Weird Al did

http://www.metrolyrics.com/lyrics/126508/Wierd_Al_Yankovic/Addicted_To_Spuds/

now here's...   

---------------------------------------

Addicted to M.U.D's!!!

Asheron's Call, Final Fantasy too,
Without DSL, I am so blue!
Text based, or graphically rich
I am so weak to any on-line pitch!

You plan a trip every darned night
To pick up a virtual sword and to explore and fight!
I understand how you must feel
I can't deny they've got appeal

Whoah
You like them whether they are free or you pay, oh yeah
Better face the facts, it seems you can't get enough
You know, you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to Muds!

Your greasy hands, your dry lips
Time to push those old computer chips
Your belly aches, your teeth grind
Some Warcraft III would blow your mind!

And you don't mind if they're not patched
You need your fix, gotta get attached!
And late at night you always dream
Of ping counts and servers upstream!

Whoah, you like them even if puzzles seem too tough, oh yeah
Whee, It's pretty obvious to me you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to Muds

Might as well face it, you're addicted to Muds
Might as well face it, you're addicted to Muds
Might as well face it, you're addicted to Muds
Might as well face it, you're addicted to Muds
Might as well face it, you're addicted to Muds

Ooh yeah

I'm givin' up, it's just no use
Another case of Computer abuse
What can I say, what can I do
Online Gaming has got me too, Wahoo

I used to hate them, now they're all that I do, oh yeah
Whee, those grue got me whipped, but they just can't be beat
Now I'm gonna have to face it
I'm addicted to Muds

Might as well face it, I'm addicted to Muds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to Muds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to Muds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to Muds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to Muds

Might as well face it, I'm addicted to Muds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to Muds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to Muds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to Muds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to Muds

ANNOYING NEEBER


Yakking along, gabbing along, Neebing all day long
Hm, Annoying Neeber, that Annoying Neeber
Always gabbing about something, like he really knows anything
For Annoying Neeber, he just keeps annoying all day long
He don't work a lick, his job he's forgotten
Listening to him will turn your brain rotten,
While Annoying Neeber, he just keeps annoying all day long

You and me, we sweat and strain
An Adventurer's lot in life is pain
Milk a cow, haul the full pail
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
In get weary and sick of trying
I'm tired of living and afraid of dying
While Annoying Neeber, he just keeps annoying all day long
Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?

Ok, obviously I chose mazzy to make the title work... this is for you diana... ;) ;) ;)

and this really was where i got my signature from... :D :D :D
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Once More with Halflings!!!

Mazzy walked into the Turnip Box, and the smell distracted her for a few seconds.  If she ever came into some gold, she could finally rent a new headquarters for the gang, and they wouldn't have to endure the awful stench of Jan's family buisness...alas, being the Vampire Slayer didn't put wealth into one's pockets.  She firmly wrenched her mind back into what was important...that mind bending event at the graveyard district last night.

"Urm....so, urm, guys?  Did anyone last night,urm...burst into song?" asked Mazzy, anxiously twisting her hands behind her and looking at the floor.

"Merciful Cthulhu!" exclaimed Valygar, her faithful squire.

"We thought it was just us!" said Aerie, her face relaxing.

"We were just talking and all of a sudden..." said Keldorn.

"It was like we were in a musical!" said Mazzy, looking up and sharing Aerie's expression of relief.

"I did a whole aria about gathering spell components! (I still can't believe I sang a song about the joys of collecting bat guano!)" said Edwina.

"And it was very,very bad at the Jansen residence last night.  Mother Jansen started off with 'Turnips are a girl's best friend', but it was cousin Beloo that really made me claw my eyes.  It was bad enough hearing Mom mutilate the song like that, but seeing cousin Beloo with a strapless passionate pink cocktail dress, dancing and flirting, with about a hundredsweight of turnip jewelry around his wrists and neck, and stretching his earlobes in a most painful way...and of course his pink matching stockings, well, due to the normally stumpy gnomish legs, wads and rolls of pink fishnet material clumped at the bottom of his feet, and got caught on the 7 inch stiletto heeled pink pumps he was wearing...fortunately he tripped while Mom was singing...

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
but turnips are a girl's best friend.
A kiss may be grand but it won't spice up a bento
at your humble flat, or for snacking at the automat.

and knocked himself out." said Jan with a shudder.

"Anyhu,"said Keldorn quickly before Jan started up another story, along that route lay madness,"I was arguing with Maria, and I started singing...

How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!

she was most displeased, and then the armored knight came thru the door, clapping two coconut half shells together...it was most disturbing."

"Is Maria ok?" asked Aerie in concern.

"Oh thankfully I was able grab a potato, and shove it into the knight's mouth to gag him before he really got into the song 'We're knights of the Oblong Table, we dance when we are able...' and finsh my own song, which happy has a sweet and complimentary ending.  She understood that the song, which starts out not being nice was actually a wonderfully sweet and endearing song.  It was still very disturbing."  said Keldorn in relief.

"That's been my whole outlook on the situation.  Its all very disturbing, and quite un-natural.  We should look into it." said Mazzy.

"With the books." said Aerie decisively.

"Yes, of course the books.(that is of course if these simians have evolved enough to learn to read.)" said Edwina.

"Urm, do we have any books on this?" asked Mazzy.

"We just have to think logally about this, not every problem can be solved by magic.  We just have to break down the problems, and try to think..."said Valygar before he was interrupted.

(Singing)

Jan:
I've got a theory,
That it's a demon,
A dancing demon!
Eeech, something isn't right there!

Aerie:
I've got a theory
Some mage is dreamin'
And we're all stuck inside
His wacky Broadway nightmare!

"Like with Kalah!!! You remember, right?" quipped Aerie before the next verse could begin.

Valygar:
I've got a theory
We should work this out.

Aerie, Edwina, Keldorn, Valygar:
It's getting eerie
What's this cheery singing all about?

"Bah! Must I carry this verse all by myself?  Harmony, and timing Keldorn and Valygar! (Now I am sounding like the hateful music teacher at Dark Mage University, the one I tested my Gate spell on...his last screams were gratifyingly out of pitch.)" mused Edwina.

Valygar:
It could be witches!
Some evil witches!

Aerie, and Edwina looked at Valygar, Aerie was tapping her foot, and Edwina had a persistant tick on her face.

Valygar:
Which is ridiculous,
'Cause witches, they're my friends,
And they helped me defeat Lavok in the planar sphere
And Avariel power and I'll be over here.

Edwina:
I've got a theory
It could be Jansens!

Everyone's face clears at this verse, their eyes looking far away in thought, except for Jan, of course.

Edwina:
Jansens aren't as harmless
Like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs
And puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much
root vegetables, anyway?
Jansens, Jansens,
It must be Jansens!!!

As Jan's hand moves to the very large and complex crossbow holstered on his belt, Edwina reconsiders.

Edwina:
Or it could be griffins.

Jan immediately nodds in agreement.

Aerie:
I've got a theory
We should work this fast

Aerie and Jan:
Because clearly
Keldorn's voice just isn't going to last.

Mazzy:
I've got a theory
It doesn't matter ...

Mazzy:
What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?

"Except the smell of turnips everywhere!" mutters Mazzy, Edwina, Keldorn, Valygar and Aerie, unaware that they were saying the same thing under their breath at the same time.

Mazzy:
Throne of Bhaal? We've all been there
The same old trips, why should we care

Mazzy, Aerie, Edwina, Valygar, Keldorn and Jan:
What can't we do if we get in it?
We'll work it through within a minute
We have to try
We'll pay the price
It's do or die!

Mazzy
Hey, we've been to Hell twice!

Mazzy, Aerie, Edwina, Valygar, Keldorn and Jan:
What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?
What can't we face?
If we're together
There's nothing we can't face . . .

Edwina:
Except for Jansens...

Meanwhile, outside the Turnip Box...

A jovial Korgan is holding up a large blue and yellow polyester looking shortsleeve shirt, which looks surprisingly clean.

Korgan:
They got the bloodstain out!

The townspeople of Athlanka are doing a highstepping dance routine, complete with high kicks and gracefull piroettes, by both Commoner1 and Commoner2, both male and female versions, and they're singing...

Commoner1 and Commoner2, male and female:
They got the bloodstain out!

And as the singing and dancing concludes, Korgan turns over his shirt, and you can read the logo on the back.

"Amnish DwarfBowling Legue, Player of the Year."
Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?
Jansens, Jansens,
It must be Jansens!!!
(or it could be griffins)

Hi! I got a couple of new songs done this week, and so I'm going to post some old songs, and the two new ones... ;)

http://www.all-britney-spears-lyrics.pair.com/lyrics-baby-one-more-time.htm

this one is another britney spears parody involving knights in tights... :D  warning, the ending is NOT what you think it will be... ;)

------------------------------------------------------------

Smite Me Baby, One More Time!

Sir Ryan Trawl vamped outrageously foward, his hips swaying to the beat of the loud, driving music.  His cheeks and lips were rouged excessively, layers of eyeliner applied over his very long and curled eyelashes.  He wore no less than 8 spangled, and multi-hued feathered bolas, running the gamut from shocking, indecent pink to eye-popping passionate purple.  He wore a tight black lace corset, with little pink hearts encircled with gold lame rays, the ensignia for the Radient Heart.  He looked like his corset was about to explode, with rolls of flesh bulging out of the top and bottom of that poor, much abused garment.  Over his legs he wore black fishnet stockings, held up by a canary yellow garter belt, peeking out from underneath his red taffida tutu.  The rhinestone set 9 inch stiletto heeled pumps rang out on the clear white marble flagstones inlaid on the floor of the Chapter House of the Most Noble Order of the Radient Heart. Much like a deer caught in bright light at night, Sir Anomen could only stand petrified, as Sir Ryan sasheyed across the floor.  The only muscles he could move were his eyes, as he blinked furiously, to try to clear this obvious hallucination from his sight.  They were shocked into stunned immobility as Sir Keldorn joined Sir Ryan.

Sir Keldorn wore a black and white maid's hat, and a small white apron, and nothing else, except for what could only be a chainmail jockey briefs covering his loins.  No, as Sir Keldorn did a pirette on his thigh length long black shiny high heeled boots, the chainmail jockey briefs were revealed to be chainmail thongs...that looked like they would really hurt to take off.

Now stepped forward the entire strength of the Knights of the Most Noble Order of the Radient Heart, their arms over each others shoulders, their legs marching in beat with the horribly loud and bizzare music playing from somewhere.  The music sounded like a score or more of cats, dogs and gnomes being tortured to death.  Underlying it all was some deep, beating drums, and it was to the drums that his fellow knights and comrades strode foward to.  They were obviously not garbed for war, though they did wear parts of their armor.  The greaves and boots to be precise, under their bare chests.  The chests of his fellow knights glistened as if they had been shaved and rubbed in oil.  They wore chainmail jocks, as a step in their dance revealed their posteriors to the stunned and stupified Sir Anomen.

To cap off this raving insane vision, it could only be a vision, right?  Sir Ryan and Sir Keldorn started singing. 

Oh Mazzy, Mazzy
How was I supposed to know
That once you have halfling you just can't let go...
Oh baby, baby
I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah
hidden behind the shrubbery, I know...
Tell me Mazzy 'cause I need to know now, oh because

Chorus:
My chainmail jock is killing me
I must confess I still believe
sniffing armor polish improves my mind
take out your black leather whips of love
Smite me baby one more time

Oh Mazzy, Mazzy
The reason I breathe is you
Little Dumpling, you got me blinded
Your chubby pink cheeks
That wonderful rubber-band hair-do
once you have hobbit you just can't go back
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby 'cause I need to know now, oh because

Chorus:
My chainmail jock is killing me
I must confess I still believe
sniffing armor polish improves my mind
take out your black leather whips of love
Smite me baby one more time

Oh baby, baby how was I supposed to know
Oh sweet dumpling, I shouldn't have let you go
I must confess, that I long for your embrace
my knees ache for your hug, don't you know,
And give me a sign
Smite me baby one more time

Chorus:
My chainmail jock is killing me
I must confess I still believe
sniffing armor polish improves my mind
take out your black leather whips of love
Smite me baby one more time

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Sir Anomen as he woke violently from where he was postrated on the floor.  His face was covered in cold sweat, and he was visibily shaking.  Sister Farielle rushed in thru the door.

"Are you alright, Sir Anomen?  Are you ill?  Would you like a Heal spell?" She asked in concern.

Anomen looked around, and his heartbeat began to slow down.  He recognized his surroundings as the Helm sacrosty in Saradush, attached to the main temple to Waukeen in Sister Farielle's parish.  He remembered he asked leave of the party, for a short time, since he felt he needed to cleanse his soul after the party's climatic battle to regain Hellocthul's soul in Hell.  He prostrated himself before the altar, praying to Helm to guide him and strengthen his heart for the task as Lady Hellocthul and Lady Imoen faced the might of their massed siblings.  He knew his faults and his weaknesses, and he felt unworthy when he felt fear facing Irenicus and his demonic servents in Hell.  He had prayed to Helm for courage and wisdom, and obviously he had drifted off to sleep.

Anomen reassured Sister Farielle that he had failed his duty to his god, by falling asleep at his devotions.  He awaited Sister Farielle's stinging words of admonishion and braced his shoulders to accept her rebuke.

"Knowing what I now know of the deeds of your party, Sir Anomen, I feel sure that  Helm does indeed understand that it was not a weakness of faith, but a weakness of the body that made you fall asleep.  Besides, as you know, the watchful god has his own ways of punishing lapses in duty.  This could not be the first time you've had a 'dream punishment?'" said Sister Farielle, with a slight smile to her face.

"A dream punishment?  I do not understand, Sister." said Anomen in puzzlement.

"Oh, dear.  Sir Anomen, have you ever fallen asleep at your religious duties as a noviciate?" at the sight of Anomen shaking his head, she felt surprise, for she remembered her own many lapses when she was younger.  Obviously this ernest and devoted cleric was made of sterner stuff than she.

"When a noviciate falls asleep at his religious duties, the proctors make no effort to wake the erring young one.  You've noticed that, in your own order?" Anomen nodded. "That is because once the noviciate enters the first rank of the devoted, the deity will punish such lapses with nightmares.  Of course, the higher the rank, the worse the nightmares.  I take it, since it was your first, and your rank is quite high, that it was very bad?" at Anomen's frantic nodding Sister Farielle smiled.

"Well, I would try to forget the bulk of your dream punishment, but consider this...the gods send us dreams and nightmares, but how the dreams manifest themselves in our minds are often clues to our own hearts.  Sift through your dream, Sir Anomen, discard the dross and try to listen to what your own heart is telling you.  I remember my own beloved instructors telling me this same advice when I was younger, and I had my first such experience.  I daresay that had you been less devout in your youth, you would know this already."  said Sister Farielle gently.

As Anomen walked out the door, not as cleansed in his soul as he had hoped for, but a little wiser, he saw Mazzy Fentan playing with some small children, halfling, elven and human, her singing obviously delighting the children.

Jansens, meet the Jansens, they're a rootveggie faily,
From the town of Turnip, they've a place right out of grocery...

She was singing the themesong from a popular crystal ball show, and the children joined happily, each of them with a gold coin clenched around each tiny fist.  As Mazzy saw Anomen walk out of the temple, she grinned.

"All done, tall, shiny and hairy?" quipped Mazzy.  Anomen was about to reply with an insulting retort, suddenly stopped.  Mazzy was quite fetching today, in her Armor of the Hart, with her hair done in her trademark rubber-bands, and her horned helm held in the crook of her arm.  She was so often the only person who he could talk about honor, and duty and devotion, the rest of the party was so much more, worldly and pragmatic.  Hellocthul sometimes chose expedientcy over the Right, and even though in the end, her choices turned out to serve the Right, his frustration was only shared by Mazzy, who understood him.  Anomen finally realized at that moment in time, that the party member he felt the closest to was little Mazzy Fentan, and he regretted all the times his language turned harsh and hurtful to her.

"Say, Mazzy, did I ever tell you about when I fought with my brother squires in the wars against the Hill Giants?" the two armored figures headed for the Saradush inn, where the rest of the party was staying.  The taller figure was bent over slightly, talking animatedly to the shorter, who was nodding enthusiastically.  A few times, the streets sounded with merry female laughter, as the mismatched pair walked slowly, enjoying the last light of the day, tword their goal.

That day, peace, and contentment, long strangers to Anomen's heart, found their way back home at last.



Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?
Jansens, Jansens,
It must be Jansens!!!
(or it could be griffins)

This was during my Rob Rheiner phase...

-----------------------

When Janny Met Viccy...

Charname and Nalia sat wearing their pajamas on the comfortably overstuffed sofa in the scrying room of the planar sphere.  Kelsey and Imoen were sitting on the other sofa in the scrying room, and on the table between the two couples were huge bowls of buttered popcorn, pickled pig's feet, and chocholate covered herring.  Nalia, when she first saw the sweet confection covered fish, jumped to the conclusion that sweet little Immy, was expecting.  Charname assured her that she normally ate stuff like that, she just had a bizzare and mutated sense of taste.  Nalia, remembering all the things she had seen go into Imoen's mouth over the years, had to agree.

"Well, Imoen is the only person on Toril who can actually eat your cooking, love." said Nalia with an impish grin.

"Hey!  Are you saying that I'm a lousy cook???!!!" said Charname with laughing indignation.

"Well, I'm sure, Charname, its just a matter of finding the right audience to appreciate your cooking.  Like trolls, or ettercaps, or possibly ogres." said Kelsey with a grin.

"Oh great, this I get from a guy who wore a pink mage robe when we first met you?" said Charname.

"It was not PINK.  It was a red robe, just a little faded." said Kelsey quickly.

"Its ok, loverboy, I like pink." said Imoen with a crooked smile.

"Sh! Its starting!" said Nalia.

The huge scrying crystal in the control room of the Planar Sphere, after being fixed by Jan was able to receive commercial crystal ball programs.  The huge table with the translucent, arcane artifact usually showed an aerial view of the slums, however after several days of tinkering by Jan showed programs like the Noober and Neeber show, Ask Edwin (Athlanka's most famous and celebrated Sex Therepist had his own show...which ended each broadcast with Edwin saying "You too can leave a concubine gasping after your erotic onslaught!"), and of course the scandalous Haer'y Springer Show.  Today featuring Paladins who wear naughty underthings, and the women who love them.  (Of course, like any device tinkered by Jan Jansen, it had some urm...."problems" in the beginning.  The first time it was activated, instead of receiving commercial crystal ball channels, instead locked into the adult pay-per-view crystal ball stations.  As the funky music played, the table showed the first scenes of the infamous "Debbie does Candlekeep" porno movie.  Jan was kicked out of the room by a furiously blushing Imoen, and despite tearful protests by Korgan, Imoen and Nalia took over the repairs themselves.)

As the final few seconds of the commercial played, as a sobbing Ribaud was shown slashing prices with a +4 Battleaxe, the movie they were waiting for started to play.

"When Janny met Viccy" appeared in glowing letters within the scrying crystal, and the music began playing from the Rob Jansen directed romantic comedy.

One scene that had them in stitches was of course the diner scene.  Jan and Viconia were having a meal in Trademeet, and somehow the conversation had turned to whether all women fake (deleted).

"Of course we do.  And I have too, since surfacers lack the, urm...sophistication we drill into men in the underdark." said Viccy with a smile.

"Well, I certainly can tell if a woman is faking a (deleted)." said Jan with a toothy grin.

"Oh really?" Viconia then proceeded to launch into a series of moans and groans that built softly from a low gasp of pleasure into a full throated warbles of a woman in the most extreme throes of passion, banging the table with her clenched fists, and shouting "Yes, oh yes!"  She finally finished with a full body shiver that rattled the cutlery from all the surrounding tables.  She grinned impishly, and grabbing a piece of food from her plate, and chewed it with relish.

The camera then cut to an older matron, sitting at another table, who had witnessed the entire performance, who then spoke to the waiter saying "I'll have what she's having."

The waiter called out "Another Giant Spider Thermidore, with a side of Hollandaise sauce!"

"Auntie!  Hey, I didn't know she was in the movie! Guys, that was my Aunt Delcia!" exclaimed Nalia.  All four of them dissolved into laughter, as they recognized the Lady Delcia in the crystal.

Another scene that really tickled their funnybones was when Viconia was talking about days of the week underpants.

"I never understood those things.  I mean I understand having underpants you change every day, and each underpants have a little label sewn in, saying 'Firstday', 'Seconday' and so on, but where is Tenthday?  You've got Firstday, Seconday, Thirday, all the way up to Ninthday.  But where is Tenthday?  Why is there no Tenthday underpants?" asked Jan, perplexed.

"There is no Tenthday.  That's because tenthday is for Shar." said Viconia piously.

"So on Tenthday, what do you..." started Jan.

Viconia changed the subject quickly.

"Urm, love, that really is a good question, what do you..." started Kelsey.  Imoen punched him in the stomach with a sharp elbow, and Kelsey shut his mouth.  The girls giggled.

Finally, the movie wound its way tword the end, after Jan and Viconia had broken up, destroying their friendship and budding relationship.  Jan had chased Viconia down to a party celebrating the new year at the Jeslev's at the government district, and had finally confronted her.

"Viccy, I need to know!" cried Jan forcefully.

"YES! YES! I LOVE TURNIPS! I finally admit it, I love turnips!  I can't get enough of them, I love them here, and I love them there! I love eating turnips anywhere! I love eating turnips in a house, I love eating turnips with a mouse! I would eat turnips in a box, I would chew turnips with a fox!  I would knosh on turnips in a car! I would knosh on turnips in a tree! I would eat turnips in the dark!  I would eat turnips in the rain!  I love eating turnips on a train, I would even eat them with a goat! I would eat them riding a boat!  I love turnips, Jan-I-am!" cried Viccy as she embraced Jan Jansen.

"Oh, thank Helm! My family could never accept anyone who did not love turnips! I love you, my dark tempress!  Marry me!" cried Jan, ecstatically happy that Viccy had finally confessed her love for the root veggy.

"And I love you, most vigourous yet short stallion of the lust chamber! YES!" cried Viccy.

As the credits rolled on the crystal, all four of them stretched, and picked up after the half emptied bowls of snacks.  They were all still giggling and snickering at the movie.  The movie was very fun and interesting, since it was so completely different from the truth.  After all, they were all there when Janny and Viccy got together.

"Oh boy, I can still remember when they finally discovered that they were in love.  It was at Watcher's Keep, right?" said Imoen.

"Oh yeah, of course, Jan had been hitting on Viconia since we had first entered Saradush.  I remember speaking to Jan about it, since it seemed to irritate Viconia. 'Jan, do you really want to tick off someone who could cast an implosion spell on your privates?'" said Charname.

Kelsey winced, and reflexively covered his groin with his hands.  Imoen just giggled, and kissed him on his cheek. 

"Well, it was when we encountered those succubi in the teleportation maze. And Imoen played that trick on those idiotic demons." said Nalia.

FADEIN...

The party was tired and aching after taking on the statues in the first level of Watcher's Keep. After they had talked to that raving mad elf, they had entered the first room of the Teleportation Maze on the second level.  Then the succubi approached Charname with an offer.

"So if I let you kiss me, you will teleport me and my friends to the exit?" asked Charname with a dangerous light in her eyes.  Imoen could see her Brother tighten his grip on Celestial Fury.  She recognized all the signs of her Brother getting really ticked off.  Then an evil little idea popped into her head.

"Ok, sure you can all kiss my Brother, but you have to freshen your breath.  No offense, ladies, but you're all demons, and my Brother is kinda picky about hellspawn breath." quipped Imoen.  She gave the rest of the party a carefully timed wink as she rummaged thru her pack.  Nalia, who was about to explode and unleash magical hell, stopped, curious as to what Imoen was planning.

Imoen pulled out a beautiful glass bottle, full of some clear liquid.  The succubi, who were starting to get angry about the "hellspawn breath" remark, looked at it in curiosity.

"This is the finest rosewater you can buy in Saradush.  It smells so pretty!  Now ladies, I want you each to take a swig, swish it around your mouth, and swallow it.  It will make your breath smell as fresh as newly plucked roses!" said Imoen with an innocent smile.

"Oh goody! Rosewater! Me first, I want the first kiss! I want some too, since later tonite I have a date with that hunky ghoul on the fourth level. Say, rosewater isn't fattening, is it?  Telmira, you're a demon! You can't gain any weight!  Yeah, but Telmira, you're getting love handles from all those smoked babies you've been pigging out on!  You just take that back, Elvira!  Naaa, Naaa, you can't make me!" chatted the succubi as they passed the flask around, and each demon took a swig.

"Hey! That's not rosewater, that's...." started one of the demons, then her head exploded!  In rapid order, all of the demon's heads exploded!

"Elven holy water." finished Imoen with a huge grin.

The rest of the party cheered and clapped their hands.  They then searched the room for those annoying teleportation mirrors so they could move to the next room.  Nalia and Jaheira were poring over the journal they had found, to figure out which mirror they would need to activate.

"Hey, look, there's a fifth mirror here, behind this cloth.  And it doesn't look like the others, its too small.  And it even has some writing on the top." said Imoen.

The rest of the party moved to where Imoen was peeking under a cloth covered tall object.  Kelsey removed the cloth cover, and they could make out the words "Mirror of Erised" written in tacky glitterpaint on the top of the dust covered mirror. Kelsey wiped away some of the dust from the mirror, and froze.

The rest of the party could see Kelsey's image in the mirror, wearing expensive looking mage robes, standing behind the counter of what was obviously a magical shop, stuffed full of arcane scrolls and tomes, with a smiling Imoen at his side, holding a baby in her arms.

"Erised...just how stupid do they think we are, anyway?" muttered Charname.  Nalia dragged her love over to the mirror, and when they stood in front of the mirror, each time the mirror showed the same identical image, of Charname and Nalia holding hands and smiling. 

When Korgan stumped over to the mirror, grumbling, he was charmed by the image in the mirror, of himself standing next to a solid gold tankard full of beer, taller than Minsc. 

Jahiera, a small, sad smile on her face, refused to join in the fun.  When Mazzy stood in front of the mirror, she saw herself holding Sir Anomen's hand, wearing full armor and the golden cloak of a full Paladin of the Most Noble Order of the Radient Heart.  Anomen saw the same thing, except he was wearing the gold trimmed snowy white surcoat of the Prelate of the Radient Heart. Anomen knelt and embraced his girlfriend, while she was admiring the golden cloak the image in the mirror wore.

Minsc saw himself surrounded by bards from his own clan, reciting the tales of his deeds.  Minsc insisted that Boo be allowed to take his turn, and the party was astonished to see a hamster, over 6 feet tall, standing on his hind legs, wearing a purple crushed velvet smoking jacket (with mother-of-pearl buttons), hoding an ivory holder fitted with a lit cigarette, and a golden monacle over one beady eye.  An unmistakable mein of authority, an aura of personal power radiated from the giant space hamster.  The image twirled his enourmous handle-bar moustache with panache and debonair grace, as the real Boo twitched his whiskers.

When Imoen stood before the mirror, the mirror showed the same as it did for Kelsey, the couple standing behind the counter of a store, smiling and with a bundled baby in Imoen's arms. However it was obvious in Imoen's viewing that the store was a candy shop, and Kelsey was wearing passionate pink robes.  In fact, everything in the store, including the baby's swaddling clothes, the inventory, the counter and even the very walls were pink.  Everyone else in the party covered their eyes, while Imoen smiled delightedly and clapped her hands.

Finally, a giggling Nalia and Imoen grabbed Viconia and dragged her to the mirror.  A look of utter horror flashed thru her face, as the two laughing girls dragged the unwilling drow woman to the mirror.  The image in the mirror stunned the entire party.  The image showed a stark naked Viconia, wearing only a very long, thin translucent slice of turnip, wound in a spiral around her body.  The "garment" failed to hide her lush, splendid figure, and there was an expression of pure pleasure and abandon on her face.  What really floored the rest of the party was the fact that Jan was included in the image.  He was wearing only a loincloth made out of stitched turnip peel, and he was literally munching up Viconia's garment.  He was already chomping up Viconia's left knee, and was only a few bites away from reaching her left buttock.  There was a blissful expression on his face, matched by the expression on Viconia's face, despite his bulging eyes. Everyone covered their open mouths, except for Minsc who covered Boo's eyes, muttering that he was too young for such sights.

With a snarl of rage, Viconia swung the Flail of the Ages at the mirror, shattering it into a thousand shards of glass.  She turned to the rest of the party, her eyes flashing and expression murderous, with a special and menacing glare for Imoen and Nalia.  The party noticed, however, that as her gaze swept each member, daring them to speak one single word, it softened as it passed by the expressionless gnome.  There was a curious sense of relief in her eyes, as if she felt a secret burden had been lifted from her shoulders. 

FADEOUT...

"Of course, it took some time afterwards for the two of them to finally get together.  Thank the gods that Viconia had a secret addiction for turnips.  It could have gotten really nasty if she hated turnips.  I still remember all the times that Jan accused Boo of filching turnips from his pack while we slept.  It turned out to have been Viccy all along!  I can still see the time we caught her, she stuffed the stolen veggie into her cheeks, and she looked like Boo with her cheeks stuffed with turnip chunks.  I thought she would start squeeking like a hamster!" laughed Imoen. 

"Well, you know, for the both of you, the image in the mirror turned out to be actually accurate. Kelsey has the magic shop upstairs in the mosaic room, and Imoen has the sweetshop in the main area.  And it was a stroke of genius to turn the fire room downstairs into a fudge factory, and the ice room into an icecream factory." said Nalia with a smile.

"Now if we can only keep Immy from eating the inventory...Ouch!" said Kelsey as Imoen pinched him on the butt.  Nalia giggled.

"Say, how are Janny and Viccy doing?  I know Ano and Mazzy are doing fine, because of the newspapers, when Ano became a senior knight at the Radient Heart, but how are they?  Nally and I are really settling into the country life, so our lives are filled with crops, and harvests.  We just don't hear much about stuff happening in the city." said Charname.

"Well, Jan's cinema career is really taking off.  I mean he's made dozens of spy movies, all of them popular.  Like "Dr. Maybe", "Gold-Turnip", "the Gnome with the Golden Turnip" and "From Turnip, with Love".  He's even doing a weekly crystal ball series, called "the Gnome from T.U.R.N.I.P".  Vico is actually settling into the domestic life, if you can believe that.  And she's pregnant.  We had the baby shower last week!" said Imoen.  Nalia looked disappointed that she missed out on that event. 

"Urm...you know, honey, there's one thing that's always puzzled me.  The only two in the party who didn't look in the mirror were Jahiera and Jan, right?  I mean its pretty obvious what Jaheira would have seen, but if Jan had looked in the mirror, what would he have seen?  I mean, Vico's viewing showed her naked, and Jan almost naked, and turnip peel.  What would Jan have seen?" asked Kelsey perplexedly.

The four of them sat in silence for about a minute, trying to imagine what Jan's viewing would have been like.  Then they all turned red, and gave a collective shudder of horror.     
Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?
Jansens, Jansens,
It must be Jansens!!!

You're Only a Jansen

You’re having a hard time and lately even turnips don’t taste so good
You’re getting a bad reputation with Trax in your neighbor-hood
It’s alright, it’s alright
Sometimes that’s what it takes
You’re only a Jansen, you'll make more than your share of mistakes
You better believe there will be times in your life
When you’ll be feeling like a long-limbed fool
So take it from me you’ll learn more from your accidents
Than anything that you could ever learn at gnomish inventor's school

Don’t forget your trunip ends
Healthy turnip greens will give you a second wind

When Lissa left you, you could hardly think thru the pain
You’re gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again
It’s alright, it’s alright
Though you feel your heart break
You’re only a Jansen, you’re gonna have to deal with heartache

You're just a funny little man,
Out in the wide world all alone
You’re not the only one who’s made mistakes
But they’re the only thing besides turnips you can truly call your own

Don’t forget your turnip ends
Healthy turnip greens will give you a second wind

You probably don’t want to hear advice from someone else
But I wouldn’t be telling you if I hadn’t been there myself
It’s alright, it’s alright
Sometimes that’s all it takes
You’re only a Jansen
You’re supposed to make mistakes
But I survived all those long lonely days
When I lost my little sister and best friend
Cause all I needed was a little faith
So I could catch my breath and fight Irenicus again

Don’t forget your trunip ends
Sooner or later you’ll feel the turnip greens kick in
Don’t forget your trunip ends
Sooner or later you’ll feel the turnip greens kick in
Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?
Jansens, Jansens,
It must be Jansens!!!

here's the first of my new songs...

http://www.poplyrics.net/waiguo/soundtrack/wizardofoz/006.htm

----------------------

Biff's Song

If my words were quick and nimble, my delivery as neat as a thimble,
Joy would fill my heart.
Old Higgens would laugh with glee, he'd say "My boy, come with me!"
And I'd finally have the part.
If my prose was smooth and gentle, I wouldn't sound utterly mental,
And yet I'm still torn apart.
If I could say lines with grace...
The audience wouldn't laugh at face
This is why I'll never get the part.
Picture me - a balcony. My voice sings low.
Wherefore art thou, Juliet? My voice is sweet...
Self-Deceit!
Just to register emotion, jealousy - devotion,
How long I've practiced the Art.
Yet for all my blood, sweat and tears,
One foot on the stage, come my fears,
This is why I never deserve the part!

Biff the Understudy looked at himself with bleary eyes. Another night of drinking himself into a stupor just to try to forget the catcalls and boos of the audience, each one a tiny stab with a dagger on his skin.  Yet even worse was the disappointment on the face of his fellow actors.  He had the talent, the ability and the skill. One hour of rehearsal proved that to everyone.  But as soon as he stepped on to the stage in front of a live audience, that tremor, that shaking which started from the tips of his toes and travelled all the way up to his eyebrows would begin. 

It was so unfair.  Biff had ran away from home when he was 12, away from his affuent and noble family just to take up with a travelling acting troup.  It was all he had ever wanted.  He proved to be a child prodigy, with incredible memory, musical talents in both performance and composition, and grace and skill in dancing, tumbling and juggling.  His new friends were literally awed by the sheer scope and array of talent Biff possessed.  However, at his first performance in public at the age of 14, it was...it was...it was horrible.  He set fire to the wagons of the troupe while juggling flaming torches, he couldn't remember the simplest lines, and he nearly mortally insulted the grand duke of the duchy the troupe was staying at because the songs he had sung in practice thousands of times before just refused to stay in his head.  Life hadn't been good to Biff.  If only he could love the stage less, or had just a little less sheer incoherent stage fright, he would be fine.  As it was, the only jobs he could get anymore was that of an understudy, and he had to depend on the kindnesses of good folk like Raelis' Shai to put bread on his table.  The gods had truely hated him, giving him the priceless gift of talent, and cursed with uncurable stage fright.  The gods sucked.

"Miss Raelis, why do you suffer that buffoon to tread these hallowed places, where the very muses have blessed?" said Haer'dalis with a flourish and ruffle, appropriate to the lines he had just recited, from "Three Gentlemen of Waterdeep".

"My lovely Haer.  Is there no mercy in you?  Or do you feel still the pulse and beat of the will of the Lady of Pain?" asked Raelis.  Her favorite actor still delighted her, not only his suave urbanity, and priceless talent, but even his unthinking cruelty, for those less gifted, or comely than he.

"He dishonors the troupe.  He believes still, despite all evidence that his problem is stagefright, and if he did not suffer from it, he believes he is the most talented of us all!" replied Haer'dalis.

"And that, my bright one, is what vexes you most of all.  He believes he is more talented than you.  Haer, have you looked into his eyes every morning, when he walks into the playhouse?  He has it, the love of the stage, you can see it in his eyes.  But Biff lacks the talent, the ability and skills to be what he wants to be with all his heart, an actor.  I indulge his little delusion, and he's a good worker, hard worker.  Its a little enough kindness for the hard life he's led, following his heart." said Raelis with compassion in her voice.

"Aye, miss Raelis.  Truely the gods were kind to him, to bind his mind's eye." said Haer thoughtfully.

Jan's Turnip Stew

Why do flies suddenly appear
When you unpack your cooking gear?
Just like me, they caught a whiff
of Jan's Turnip Stew.

Why do birds fall from the sky
And little animals curl up and die
Just like me, they caught a whiff
of Jan's Turnip Stew.

On the day that I first caught a whiff
I threw up my toenails too,
And I thought the sewers were beyond belief
Now the ones below Baldur's gate would be a relief
Oh good grief!

That is why the Umber Hulks in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they caught a whiff
of Jan's Turnip Stew.

I have no idea what you toss in,
the cooking pot to make that horrible stew
But I know I felt sick
When you tossed in that sizzling weasel on a stick
Weasel on a stick, OH FRICK!

True, the stuff has its use,
Demogorgon sued for truce!
Just like me, he caught a whiff
of Jan's Turnip Stew.
Just like me (Just like me)
he caught a whiff
of Jan's Turnip Stew.

Heaveheaveheave, Jan's Turnip Stew.
Gag...gag...gag...gag, Jan's Turnip Stew.
MYGODSMYGODS, Jan's Turnip Stew.
Spewspewspew, Jan's Turnip Stew.

Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?
Jansens, Jansens,
It must be Jansens!!!
(or it could be griffins)

more songs...

Yes I am very very strange...(slightly naughty lyrics)

It all started out with a line in a story in the Attic about a character never ever wearing a fur loincloth...

and i had just watched the video below, and had the lyrics to "Fishheads" in my mind...

so here's a song about the most necessary and ubiquitous piece of a barbarian/berserker/beastmaster's apparel...

the humble yet so necessary loincloth...

(after all, would Conan be Conan without his loincloth? Or the Beastmaster be the Beastmaster without his loincloth? I think not!!!)

Loincloths

Loincloths, Loincloths
Itchy furry Loincloths
Loincloths, Loincloths
They always ride up your Bum!

Loincloths, Loincloths
Itchy furry Loincloths
Loincloths, Loincloths
They always ride up your Bum!

In the morning
Itching, stinky
Loincloths
In the evening
Floating in the wash

Loincloths, Loincloths
Itchy furry Loincloths
Loincloths, Loincloths
They always ride up your Bum!

Ask a Loincloth
Anything you want to
They won't answer
Underwear can't talk!

Loincloths, Loincloths
Itchy furry Loincloths
Loincloths, Loincloths
They always ride up your Bum!

I wore a Loincloth
To go see a movie
They said I had to wear a shirt
Just to get in!

Loincloths, Loincloths
Itchy furry Loincloths
Loincloths, Loincloths
They always ride up your Bum!
They won't let you play baseball
Looks funny with a sweater
But they're great for dancing
And banging on drums!

Loincloths, Loincloths
Itchy furry Loincloths
Loincloths, Loincloths
They always ride up your Bum!

I wear my fur Loincloth
When I go drinking
Cappacino in Italian restaurants
With Oriental women...Yeah

Loincloths, Loincloths
Itchy furry Loincloths
Loincloths, Loincloths
They always ride up your Bum!

Loincloths, Loincloths
Itchy furry Loincloths
Loincloths, Loincloths
They always ride up your Bum!
(Scratch, scratch, scratch)

Loincloths, Loincloths
Itchy furry Loincloths
Loincloths, Loincloths
They always ride up your Bum!

Loincloths, Loincloths
Itchy furry Loincloths
Loincloths, Loincloths
Now I got fur up me Bum!


YEAH!!!!!!!!!

Jansens aren't as harmless like everybody supposes!
They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?
Jansens, Jansens,
It must be Jansens!!!
(or it could be griffins)
