"Verily, we are well met again, Abraham Lincoln."

"Looks that way, Henry VIII. I hope yew enjoyed that drumstick, 'cuz it's yer last one."

"I do not fear you, Abraham Lincoln. Nor do...my six wives!"

::Henry's six wives appear, dressed as Elizabethan sentai ninjas, or something::

"Yew stinker, Henry VIII! I knew yew was a big ol' cheater. That's why I didn't come alone. GIT 'EM, MARY!"

::Mary Todd Lincoln appears, a huge, Hulk-like creature in a black mourning dress. She charges into Henry and the Six Wives, roaring. Lincoln brandishes his deadly coal shovel, while Henry produces an enormous platter of drumsticks and dainties, which he loads into his missile launcher.::

::carnage ensues::

Ahahaha, a Betsey Ross action figure. Wonderful.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Betsy Ross v. Cleopatra!

[bnh.livejournal.com]

I would pay to see that! Except probably not.

[ahli.livejournal.com]

I would like to live in your head sometime.

And then Amelia Earhardt comes in and kicks all their asses soundly because she can! ;)

Man, I wish I still wrote for a toy magazine. I want to be able to review this stuff! *sob*

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Same here. Perhaps we could swap some weekend.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Not to mention the review samples.

[ahli.livejournal.com]

Sexcellent. I'm thinking maybe mid-November sounds good?

*Henry goes down for the count; with the wives all defeated, a new ninja emerges from the shadows* "Nooooo! Faaaaatherrrrr!" *whips mask off to reveal Elizabeth I*

*dying* "I was never a good father to you..."

"Yet will I avenge thee, father. Have at you, you ponderous upstart heifer!"

*Mary Todd Lincoln is quickly dispatched and Elizabeth turns to Lincoln with a blood-soaked sword* "THIS time, it's personal..."

Oh, no! Will our heroic President be able to survive the wrath of the Virgin Queen? Stay tuned!

Mid-November would be groove-tastic.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Lincoln: Now lissen, missy, I really don't want to hurt yew.

Bess: Foul villain! Join your espoused she-beast in the Hell that spawned her! *she lunges at him with her sword*

*Lincoln removes his stovepipe hat - which, as it happens, is made of actual stovepipe - and blocks her thrusts. We hear metallic clangs.*

Unfortunately I never got review samples. Unlike movie and music reviewers, we never got anything. Highly unfair if you ask me!

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Well, crap.

[suzyd.livejournal.com]

Surely to swap, one of you would have had to have lived in your head first? ;)

Re:

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Especiallly since I know Idiot Boy used to get tons of review copies of cds. It's just Not Fair. Hmph.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Grrrrrr.

Well, I hope whoever bought them on eBay enjoys them.

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHA!

This scenario works particularly well if one imagines Balrog type screams emanatil from Mar Todd...
