Herring do

The new RADS production of "Ye Merry Knaves of Sherwode Foreste and the Book Eaters" is looking promising despite the presence of Evangeline van Holsterin's idiot boyfriend in the pivotal role of Avaricias the Chardcoal burner. He who says the crucial line "I thinkst it is not a Skwirl in his trouser!" which reveals the book eating friar to be a frier of words.
Evangeline van Holsterin has assumed the role of Luxuria of the Satin Sheets, which ain't half expensive even though her vile nephew Throgmorton got them cheap up at the Hospital. Look at how carefully tigris is rolling the sheets up in her role of Superbia Queen of Hearts. I think she should do farmyard impersonations in this role but the punters don't like it, apparently.
Smut reprises his breakthrough role as Robin Falsenose and you can see how seriously he takes it by the two spare false noses on his belt. Note also the cunning arrangement at the top of boots for liquid refreshments during his punishing 35 minutes on stage in the first half, when he wins the archery contest by splitting a herring six ways.
The pivotal scene shown here is the unmasking of Bro Murdoch the book eater. This is followed by an energetic rendition of chasing him around the theatre whacking him with phone books. It is a laugh-a-minute extravaganza and there are smoked fish on crackers at half-time.

I'm always a little disappointed when the woodcuts aren't much larger when viewed, which often allows me to discern what you wack-os are talking about without excessive consultation of the wackypedia, which last led me to bait you for a post on the War of Colognes, a Christmas favorite, but I do notice that Pavpertas is Teh Hawt and I'd like to lie with her in carnal canal mud and hope she'd hold my manhood cheap n shit...

"Also called the Seneschal's War or the Seneschal Upheaval and occasionally the Sewer War"

I have no idea why mikey thought that would appeal to us.

You're welcome.

I figured just diving right into the puns would be popular with this grouper.

Thunder sent me over here to fish for compliments on my own woodcuts. And don't carp if the woodcuts aren't much larger when viewed!
