The Furcation Game
help
Each game fork has its own rules. Additional forks may be possible if the particular game would allow it at the time. Reunifications must be legal in all affected forks.

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!

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

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.

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

Be warned: the slightly pedantic HTML checker makes this a more difficult than usual game to play...
Incidentally, was I right in assuming that Graziela is a girl's name? Hard to tell, these days...
Thanks for the 2 points :o) Do I have to figure yours out, now? (And yes, I thought Graziela was a girl, too)
Well, the Projoy Paradox still looked unstable, so I've had to refurcate the original. But the Blob Behemoth might threaten to overwhelm it in a move or two.

Stratford
[Cast and weasels line up in 2 columns and begin courtly dancing, Lutenist calling out the dances]
  • Lutenist:Weasels all, find thee a man to
    Start a 3/4-time Coranto!
    Now comes one that's really 'ard,
    Segue into a Galliard!
    Don't let either partner falter,
    As we start a quick La Volta
    End the way we all began,
    Finish on a brief Pavane!
    [All fall down exhausted]

    I thank thee, noble weasels, for thy pains,
    Including that one, tied up in his reins.
    For I dost need the practice, ere I sing
    Before our noble master called the King.

  • Graziela: I'faith? Art thou assigned to play your tunes
    At Castle Drogo, for our king? Eftsoons
    You'll be there, like the lord of light thou art,
    I'll speed you there in this, my weasel cart!

Oh Yes It Is!
  • Prince Charming: As I was saying, o fair Graziela, I wish for your hand in marriage
  • Graziela: O fair Prince, how romantic. When shall we be married?
  • Boleti: He doesn't want you, he wants to marry your hand.
  • Prince Charming: But what about the rest of her body?
  • Azulejo: I say boys'n'girls, if the rest of the body shows up, you will shout "It's Behind You", won't you?
  • Graziela: Do you take me for a fool, sir?
  • Prince Charming: I want to take you for my wife
  • Boleti: Same thing.
  • Prince Charming: You are close to an idiot!
  • Boleti: I am? [takes a step back]
  • Graziela: Enough of this. We'll need permission from my father, whose land is currently being ravished by a vicious flame-spouting dragon that cost a packet in special effects. Let's go off and tell him.

James Bond on Mary Whitehouse, reversing. [Blob] Nice move!

reverse Comment to Projoy
[Projoy] It's really the simple minimalist elegance of your move, in the manner of Mies van der Rohe and Kasimir Malevich that freaks me out.

OK. [matt] Is it The Swede Smeller's Excess = The Sweet Smell of Success? I figured "Smell" was right, and then went through all the smelly films I could think of.
[rab] Hmm, not sure. Is it maybe Signs = Sines?? Prob'ly not. (PS. good clue)

Ee, I remember when all the kids were copying David Beckham's Cornrow hairstyle and listening to Girls Aloud, by eck, those were the days.
I see all these rows have different colours, but I can only see a dull brown on N4.
