Lawrence of Frostbite Falls

Posted on Jan 12th, 2009 by muji : messenger muji
"OK, Sherman. Set the controls of the wayback machine to Frostbite Falls, Minnesota a century ago. Today we will visit the mountain top laboratory of none other than Nicola Tesla, the famous inventor." As Mr. Peabody and his trusty boy Sherman enter the lab they are stunned to see Tesla conducting a million volts of lightning through his body! A man dressed as an Arab approaches him, hands him something on a plate and seconds later, Tesla hands the now steaming plate back to him before noticing his visitors. Tesla disconnects from the lightning and approaches them. "What's cooking?" he asks. "That's what we were wondering" responds Mr. Peabody. "Oh, that's just some pie I heated up for my assistant. It's the third piece he's had! Lawrence has been going through the dessert like a man on a mission. I don't know how he stays so Lean." "We hear you've been working on some interesting experiments." "It's mostly hush, hush. But, that narrator makes it hard to keep a secret." "Yes. He told us and millions of viewers that you were working on the harmonic resonance for the earth and that you would theoretically be able to vibrate it into oblivion." "It's all on this video I recently put on YouTube. Come. Check it out." As soon as the music began, the entire lab started vibrating wildly. After almost a minute of increasingly intense undulation, the video and the shaking ceased. "I kept it short so we wouldn't disappear!" Tesla said. "And, its all silent. I call it Hush-A-Boom." Lurking in one corner of the lab were those arch villains, the pair who would stoop at nothing to bring the Hush-A-Boom back to their Fearless Leader, those cunning, coniving, cons... "Oh, shut upa you mouth!" the short fat figure with the pencil thin mustache interjected. It was Boris Badenov and his "friend" Natasha Fatale. But, unbeknownst to the evil duo, and lurking in the opposite corner of the lab were the god Pan, half man, half goat, and a tribal leader from Central Europe during the Middle Ages who clutched a small vial in one hand and a BEET in the other. What could this all mean? "Hey, we weren't even IN this episode!" interrupted a squirrel accompanied by a moose. "Sorry, but it's too late now" shot back a Cannon. Tune in next time for... I Bagged A Moose and a Welk or... OK Boys, How 'Bout A Little Jitterbug? Anna one, anna two, anna three...

I didn’t think it was possible to include all these characters and make a plausible story.  This is brilliant.  And extremely funny.
I do love the musical interlude too, and look forward to listening to all 1077 of your pieces.  “That’s Entertainment” is one of my all time favourite tunes.  I read that you like DooWop, my absolute favourite style.  Do you do any DooWop pieces on the organ?  Please tell me what number it is, if any exist? Don’t make me look it up ;>(
You are adorable. I am your #1 fan

I am not in the video! I found that on YouTube and used it because it was perfect. Please, no requests! Maybe, I could tone Auf Wiedershen…

The other day, seriously, I met this guy who believes that he can replicate Tesla’s towers that could transmit electrical energy.  It’s all so confusing.  Great story, though.  The music was pretty special.

I loved the part about Lawrence “going through the dessert like a man on a mission.”  Priceless.
