Wordthros
A Feature by Paul Harrington



Stinkman:
Welcome to the exciting world premier of Wordthros, bringing you all the hottest news, rumors, and gossip from Earth to Walthros! The title is a pun on Walthros, and contains the word “Word,” because this is a show in which I speak a lot. That’s the joke!

I’m your host, Herschel Stinkman. It’s going to be one hell of a show!
Stinkman:
Our first guest is Mr. Pepper, star of the hit 8-bit OHR video game adventure Horse Game! Rumor has it that Mr. Pepper is set to make a cameo in another exciting role playing adventure soon. Can you confirm or deny these rumors, Mr. Pepper?
Pepper:
HUUURRRRRRG
Stinkman:
Now that’s what I call a breath of fire! Hoo boy! Mr. Pepper, what is your first name?
Pepper:
BELL.
Stinkman:
Feminine, yet somehow macho, like all good things. I approve! Next question. Mr. Pepper, how much beef do you eat per week?
Pepper:
HUUURRRRRRRRRGGGG
Stinkman:
From the sound of that, the answer is “plenty!” Do you want more beef?
Pepper:
MORE
Stinkman:
Here you go! Are you still hungry?
Pepper:

Stinkman:

Stinkman:
Here you go! Are you still hungry?
Pepper:

Stinkman:
We’re all out!! You cannot consume me for that would be a violation of kosher law. What is your opinion of the BP oil spill? Let’s get topical, Mr. Pepper!!
Pepper:
IT STIIIIINKS
Stinkman:
UH OH!! Mr. Pepper just said the magic word! STINK! It’s time for a STINK OFF!!







Stinkman:
It was great having you on the show, Mr. Pepper! Come back any time! Our next guest is scientific genius Dr. Mu. Welcome to the show!
Dr. Mu:
It is fabulous to be here.
Stinkman:
What exactly are you a doctor of?
Dr. Mu:
I have earned doctorates in both early Greek mythology and childhood education. Would you like me to recite the Greek pantheon alphabetically?
Stinkman:
I would… but it’s all Greek to me!!
Dr. Mu:
Haha! Oh Stinkman, your wit slays me. You have no idea how happy I am to be here.
Stinkman:
How happy are you to be here?
Dr. Mu:
Very happy to be here.
Stinkman:
Let’s have a hand for Dr. Mu, folks! So, doctor… what is your first name?
Dr. Mu:
Belle.
Stinkman:
Feminine, yet somehow macho, like all good things. I approve! Next question. Dr. Mu, how much beef do you eat per week?
Dr. Mu:
Very little, I am on a strict diet. It is how I maintain my svelte figure.
Stinkman:
How do you maintain such a bald head?
Dr. Mu:
I fill it with knowledge daily. Mass consumption of scientific information leads to a condition known as Egg Head. It shows my superior quality as a scientist.
Stinkman:
You know, you could say that… you are the eggman!!
Dr. Mu:
Yes, that is a good one! Thank you Mr. Herschel Stinkman. What is your first name, if I may ask?
Stinkman:
It is Herschel.
Dr. Mu:
Fantastic.
Stinkman:
Yes. Our next guest is Grimace!!
Grimace:
Hello Herschel Stinkman, hello Belle Mu.
Stinkman:
Hello Grimace!
Dr. Mu:
Hello Grimace!
Grimace:
Hello Dr. Mu, hello Mr. Stinkman. I am not a gangster, but I play one on TV!
Stinkman:
Spectacular! That’s all the time we’ve got for tonight folks! Tune in next time for another exciting episode of WORRRRRDHTROSSS!!
