Like that heart attack

If this looks like meaningless babble to you, don't ask me to explain it. Go look up the referenced materials, because they are individually quite worthwhile. If you get the references but still think it's babble, well, it was funny to me. And if all else fails, I actually will explain because I couldn't really stand not telling you all about how clever I am.


[Fade in. Strongsad and Homestar Runner stand by The Stick as the sun sets]

SS: This day is so boring.
HR: Just lookin' at a thing in a bag.
SS: What are you talking about? There's no bag here.
HR: Oh, I think I would know if there was a bag here.
SS: Whatever. What's supposed to be in this bag anyway?
HR: What bag?
SS: Nevermind, there's no bag, and nothing in it.
HR: The thing in the bag will be here, and it's gonna be awesome.
SS: Our lives are so empty. We're born over a grave-
HR: WOW! My feet are so big!
SS: -and down below the p-smith shovels away.
HR: This is like the never ending day.

HR: Just lookin' at a thing in a bag.
SS: That's what you said yesterday.
HR: When?
SS: Yesterday!
HR: What about it?
SS: I'm leaving.
HR: I think I see it coming.

[Enter Hey, Steve!]
H,S!: Hey, Steve!
[Exit Hey, Steve!]

SS: That was pretty pointless.
HR: Oh, yeah, that was pretty cool.

[Enter Strongbad and The Cheat]

SB: What are you two losers doing here?
HR: Just being a couple of cool guys. Lookin' at a thing in a bag.
SB: There's nothing in there, man. It's just empty. And it's not even here!
SS: This is all such a big waste of time.
SB: Waste of time, eh, loser? The Cheat, say something!

[The Cheat holds up a sign reading the following: The conditions of an impoverished Strongbadian state and the bigotry against those with rodentlike physiques results ipso facto in the unfair denial of certain privilages that other taller denizens of our state already posses, being embodied in the tire and the sign but also in as much as a hypothetical personage representing the par of our society presents a standard unreasonable for mortals to live up to.]

SB: Oh, c'mon, put that away, The Cheat. I'm oughta here, it's time to get crazygonuts.

[Exit Strongbad and The Cheat]

SS: So what's the thing in this bag look like?
HR: It's so cool, it's absolutely the coolest most awesome thing ever!
SS: But what is it?
HR: I don't know, I've never seen it.
SS: I have no life.
HR: Just waitin' for a thing in a bag.

That has got to be the best version of _Waiting for Godot_ I have ever seen. But that's because it had Strongbad in it, and that just makes anything better.

heeheehee... that r0x0r5

Hmm. Homestar meets Waiting for Godot?

[learnedax.livejournal.com]

Such is my humble intent.

Hurm. I suspect this is a Trogdor reference. The Buck Godot icon was fooling me--and making me look for my back issues late last night. Fnar. Can't find them.

[learnedax.livejournal.com]

There was actually no good place for Trogdor here, although he might be the most widely recognized element.

BG backissues are always worth reading, but he only appears here for the tangential amusement value. He seems to be entirely underappreciated, unfortunately. I'd like to get Phil to work on a fourth series.
