I know what the sound charade is, but I don't want to be making every other move.

[Martha] But no-one else does 'em like you!

Shit. I was going to do a move today, but I notice that the tea leaves of fate are disappearing down the plug-hole of destiny (getting trapped in the U-bend of eternity etc) and it's nearly time to go home. Bugger it. Got so caught up in 'Notes and Queries' at Orange I neglected this. (And I have also done some work today, woohoo!).

So maybe tomorrow.

Thank goodness no-one got there before me. Ladies and gentlement I present...

i Stratford	Enter drunk lutenist, who strums almost tunefully Boleti: What is this noise that has just started and so painfully my earlobes parted? Lutenist: For 'tis the weasel dance Sire The one the king doth most admire Graziela: (to audience) Not when I have my way And the king have banished away!
ii Oh Yes It Is!	Prince Charming: Ah, Princess Graziela, the fairest of all in this land. Graziela: (coyly) Prince Charming! (to audience) The most handsome prince there ever was; I wonder if he do ask for my hand in marriage? Prince Charming falls to knees, unaware of the arrival of Dobbin the Pantomime horse in the background. Charming: I was wondering, o fair Graziela Graziela flutters eye-lashes Dobbin approachs Charming and Graziela, inserting his nose right into the middle of their entrace and brays loudly Charming: Away with you, nag, before I turn you into glue. Back half of Dobbin lifts his tail; front half of Dobbin assumes expression of horror, and runs away as quickly as possible, the two halves separating. The two chase each other round for minutes until being shooed off stage by Charming. Audience: Cheers
iii Fork Charm 48	Shepherd's Loo, which I believe takes Blob out of the game. Sorry, Blob.
iv Small Earthquake	Enormously
v Sound Charades	I think Martha knows matt's one and on the assumption that he gets this one, I'll gift him two points. Film - One word FX: Knock knock Professor Hertz: Come! Enter undergradute student Nigel Round Hertz: Ah Round! Do take a seat. Now how can I help you? Round: Well, you see, Professor, whilst enraptured by your lecture on 'Curves' yesterday, I was slightly confused by one of your diagrams. Hertz: Go on. Round: Well, first you drew an arc. Hertz: Indeed. Round: And then an ellipse. Hertz: Yes, and after that I believe a hyperbola. One of my favourites, although I am rather partial to the limacon of Pascal. Has a most beautiful pedal, you know. Anyway I seem to be going off on something of a tangent. What was your question? Round: Well next you had lots and lots of curves that all looked the same, going on into infinity. Hertz: Well I do admit my motions can be somewhat circular. Round: And the thing is, you never told us what these curves were, as it was the end of the period. Hope that's the right kind of thing; not done this before.
vi Limacres	There once was a man with a dog Who kept a very dull log The dog cocked its leg And laid a green egg Then sat up to beg That looked suspiciously like an old mog Oh my! What a terrible slog For a bottle of lavender grog As though he were vastly agog
vii 10,000 Celerity CD's	9,999 VD clinics

Be warned: the slightly pedantic HTML checker makes this a more difficult than usual game to play...
