party using the words
chimp, chunk, champ, submersible, jungle,
carnival, champagne, tarzan, party
Just imagine if all the videos on your shelf could
brag to one another? Let's imagine them all at a
party talking about themselves, shall we?
Now this isn't just an ordinary party, its a vintage
scavenger hunt party.
The limousines arrive and the valets park them with
elegance and open the doors on these odd characters.
The dress code is strict!
Pink champagne, balloons, party games and
lots of gossip!
Pop open the bottle and let's party!
"Roar!! I am King Kong! The baddest chimp to
climb the tallest New York building! At least when
my film was made! I got the girl, even though she
was tiny enough to fit in my hand! She tried to
ham it up by screaming! Nobody, I say nobody can
upstage me!! Roar!!", King Kong beats his chest and
punches the wall.
Half the people scream and leave him alone with his
King Kong Ego...
"Well, I never! At least there is plenty of
bananas left for me!!"
The next guest brings is Tarzan, who swings in from the jungle.
Crashing through the window, no invitation, nothing!
And that inferno call...
"AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaooooooooo", followed close by a herd
of elephants! "
A few high brow guests comment
"Definitely bourgeois! Must be from her side of the family! Can't
mix with the trailer trash, now can we. Where did she say he
was from?"
"She didn't".
Tarzan rushes over to the twister game and hops on all the
red spots, does a flip then drops his pants.
"Oops, me Tarzan."
One lady smile..."Yes, you are a man. Thank goodness. I was
beginning to get bored."
"This party is starting to get interesting."
The next guest is wearing a carnation and eating a thick chunk
of white chocolate...and a purple hat! Why its none other
than Willy Wonka...The carnation squirts whip cream!
"Guess what I have in my hand? He asks all the women?"
The ladies laugh and say, "I don't want to know where your
hand has been. Just hand over the chocolate and get lost."
The next guest is the man from the flying trapeze from the
nearby carnival. He swings from the ceiling fan and throws out
one hundred dollar bills . But the fan goes too fast
and he falls off the trapeze, lands on one of the elephants
that had too much to drink and gets the ride of his life.
"Get me off! This elephant is crazy!"
He is saved by a friendly lion who claims to be a carnivore
but is really a champ with the lionesses!
"I have a secret. I don't live in the jungle. I live in a
submersible boat! I have fun all day long chasing the sailors
and I get to go to cool parties and eat all the refreshments.
Nobody can roar louder than me?
Wanna bet?
King Kong smiles
ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
"Oh, for the love of Pete! Where did you find
these idiots?", says the uppity rich guy.
"Oh she found them in the yellow pages under
scavenger hunts party people! "
"They sure are wierd!"
"Yes, but this party is alot better than the one
you had last week with your dull cousin showing
his stamp collection!"
"Yep. King Kong has it all over that dull bunny
Bugs, now doesn't he?"
"You can pick your party guests but when your
own family members are the missing link
now that takes the cake!"
A naïve councilman and a down-on-her-luck single mom try to save their county’s last stand of forest from greedy developers and a dysfunctional government.
