Dragon*Con's Fondest Memory This Year

[the_gneech]

*Cut to interior, pyramid; DUCKULA is bound to altar, where he is confronted by cultists HOOMITE and YUBI*

DUCKULA: Who are you?

HOOMITE: We are servants of the great Pharoah, Upshi. I am Hoomite, and this is Yubi.

DUCKULA: Hoomite. Yubi.

HOOMITE: I just told you. And who might YOU be?

DUCKULA: I got that part. Very odd names. You're Yubi, that's Hoomite.

YUBI: I am Yubi.

DUCKULA: "I am, you are."

HOOMITE: You are Yuare?

DUCKULA: I am not "Yuare!" It's "you are," not "you be!"

YUBI: _I_ am Yubi!

DUCKULA: "You ARE!"

YUBI: I am!

HOOMITE: We are servants of the great Pharoah, Upshi, who will be be resurrected by the great god, Ra.

DUCKULA: Ra?

HOOMITE: Ra!

HOOMITE & YUBI: Ra! Ra! Ra!

DUCKULA: And who might Ra be?

HOOMITE: No, "Hoomite," "Yubi!"

DUCKULA: I am Duckula!

HOOMITE: I thought you were Yuare.

DUCKULA: Now let's get this straight. I am not Yuare! I am Duckula! You are Hoomite, that's Yubi. And you want to raise Upshi.

HOOMITE: Upshi will rise when we sacrifice you to our god!

DUCKULA: Who, Ra?

HOOMITE: And Upshi rises!

*all break into song and dance*

ALL: Who, Ra? And Upshi rises! Who, Ra? And Upshi rises! Who, Ra? And Upshi rises!

*Cut to exterior, desert...*

(Note: I forget what comes next, because I was laughing so hard at this point.)

There's no emoticon for the weird face I'm making right now. But there SHOULD be.

I'm reminded of the I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again sketch with John Cleese as the commander of a German POW camp introducing the new British inmates to his staff. He has already introduced Herr Brush, Herr Net, Herr Lacquer und Herr Restorer:

"Und here ve haff Hans - Hans Boompsadaisy. He is ze uncle of a delightful girl called Ann, who is therefore known as..."

*entire cast joins in*

"HANS' NIECE, ANN BOOMPSADAISY!!"

Must be a U.K.-ism with which I'm not familiar. :) Enlighten me?

'Tis a strange little song, possibly an old music-hall number, the only words of which I know are:

"Hands, knees and boompsadaisy! What is a boomp among friends?"

What is a boomp among friends, you ask? I have no idea. It sounds unspeakably rude.

Nifty! :) But definitely obscure. :)

Heehee!

Oh, yeah, that's one of my fondest memories of Dragon*Con, too. Oh, I've got to find that series, and Dangermouse, on DVD. Wonderful, silly stuff.

Re: Heehee!

Oddly enough, the latest entry in my journal mentions a place where you can get DangerMouse on DVD. They have a DVD of Count Duckula as well.

- PT!

Arrrgh! Dammit, now I've got that stuck in my head. ;) Haven't seen Count Duckula or Danger Mouse in years.

I miss 'em.

But still, I liked Abbott & Costello’s “Who’s On First” better.
