Two very silly drabbles

[beer_good_foamy]

Well, this week's prompt at open_on_sunday is "Nature", and of course that means I wrote two drabbles about video games. I blame speakr2customrs for forcing my brain into Really Bad Pun mode on the second.

1UP

Buffy frowned. "So let me get this straight. I have to eat all the mushrooms and flowers I can find..."

"Especially green-a mushrooms, they give-a you an extra life."

"Already got a few of those, thanks... are these, uh, magic mushrooms?"

"No, is-a perfectly natural."

"Uh-huh. And this will make me double in size and shoot fireballs?"

The small plumber nodded enthusiastically.

"Why would I wanna do that?"

"To defeat-a the flying-a maneating-a turtles."

"Flying... maneating... turtles...?"

"And save-a the beautiful princess!"

"Look, no offense, Fabio -"

"Mario."

"...Mario, but this is the weirdest hell dimension I've ever been to."

Bad Eggs: Behind The Mucus
A/N: geeky pun alert.

"That was YOU?"

Andrew beamed proudly. "Well, me and my brother Tucker. It was the first demon we summoned together."

"Makes sense," Xander muttered. "That was the worst demon ever."

"Worst as in 'most awesomely fearsome'?"

"No, worst as in 'lamest'. A huge blob of slime in the school basement using eggs to turn people into zombies? Never thought anyone was dumb enough to summon that."

"Come on, it was hard work! What, you thought those things just grow naturally in basements? No, all..."

"Please don't say what I think you're about to say."

"All your bezoar belong to us!"

ETA: and I just now finished my (unbetaed) script for Buffy Between The Lines. 39 pages of nothing but dialogue and sound fx. Phew.

LMAO!

(And that is the best explanation for 'Bad Eggs' I've ever seen!)

That episode never made much sense before, did it? Thanks!

LOL! That's fantastic!

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And I love that icon, btw. Pouty George rocks.

I couldnt believe they killed it off after two seasons, that show rocked. Now I am all Dead Like Me depressed again...

*nods sadly*

On the other hand, I've slowly started dipping into Dr Who-dom and it's pretty good so far. Some of the initial episodes had plots that were a bit meh, I thought (the "Aliens in London" double is essentially Peter Jackson's "Bad Taste" with less gore and slapstick, isn't it?) but there's potential and "Dalek" was one kick-ass episode... That's as far as I've gotten, but I'll finish the first season and post my thoughts.

It gets a lot better, you have 2 seasons to catch up on. Hooray! Dalek was excellent and it probably wont be the last we see of them ##innocent gaze##

Missed the reference on the second one, but the first one left me chuckling.

ROFLMAO! I love love love these!

Finally something I can show my computer-science-studying/all-around-geek boyfriend, to make him understand Buffy really is teh funny. Thank you! :D

Heh, thanks a lot! That script I was working on had a lot of jokes about Buffybot running Windows and Willow being a Mac user, so I guess I got in geek mode for a while... :-)
