Discontinuity Makes Baby Jesus Cry
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 25281
|
The sound of an infant's crying fills the room. Fred reels around to
behold a
little baby in a manger, wrapped in swaddling cloth and bathed in a soft
aura of light. Tears gently streak down the baby's cheek as it continues
to sob. "Why, it's the little Lord Jesus," gasps an astonished Fred. "But
why is he crying?" An officer of the Story Police, one officer Baxter Sneezely, materializes on the scene. "Well, for one thing," Baxter replies smugly, "the fact that you even recognize the baby Jesus is a little iffy when it comes to continuity...but I'll let it slide. As to why the baby Jesus is crying, well, just look around..." Fred looks around. This makes him dizzy, and he looses his footing and stumbles to the ground.Baxter shakes his head. "The weapons, moron. The punctuation has been a little lacking as well, but that's not as important. These high-tech devices aren't fitting with the medieval genre we're trying to maintain. If you're going to go futuristic, you're going to need some kind of explanation." "Dont blame me!" Fred protests. "I didn't write the previous episode!""Zip it." Baxter brandishes his billy-club. "Don't make me use this." "Well, look!" Frederina exclaims, pointing at the sword amoungst the cache of weaponry. "That's a viable weapon, isn't it?"Officer Sneezely purses his lips. "Well, I guess so. I was going to restart this thread, but I suppose I can let the whole thing slide. Just do me a favor, ok? Try and stay consistant, with yourself...with your setting, k? Makes our job easier." Just like that, the officer vanishes, along with the weapons...all except the sword. Damn! Fred curses inwardly. I wanted to snipe some fools!
