Wordthros 2: The Infamous Sloperoni
A Feature by Paul Harrington



Stinkman:
Welcome back to another exiting episode of Wordthros! I am still Herschel Stinkman. I've been so excited I haven't slept since the last show!! For those new to our show, Wordthros is a pun on WORD and WALTHROS, that video game about the yellow fish. That's a great joke! Totally WORDthy of my praise and endorsement. I endorse this show. I host this show. I'm Herschel Stinkman. Hello!

Today I will be interviewing the most popular OHR engine video game characters that would agree to be on my show. They don't have their creators' approval and their words totally do not reflect the views of said creators! OR DO THEY?
Stinkman:
Our first guest is Fat Frog, star of the classic OHR video game Fat Frog. He has lost a lot of weight since we last met. Haven't you, Mr. Frog?
Frog:
Not really.
Stinkman:
Mr. Frog, why did you agree to star in a Video Role Playing Game? Wouldn't you have been better served as a fast food mascot?
Frog:
Make games, get rich.
Stinkman:
That's right, you starred in the first commercially sold OHR RPG! Just how rich did you get?
Frog:
I live in a dumpster.
Stinkman:
That sounds pretty rich!! I don't know many people who own their own dumpsters. Good job! What do you think of Bob Surlaw? He's been in the news a lot lately, you know. Some people say he's been in the news TOO often.
Frogf
He's a man of his word. His politics offend me, but I know he means well. His fashion is a pale imitation of my own.
Stinkman:
He wears a cape, you do not.
Frog:
We're both round.
Stinkman:
Fair enough! Google Ads are telling me we may be interested in Naruto Avatar. What are your thoughts on Naruto Avatar?
Frog:
I don't know what that is.
Stinkman:
Come ooooon, guy. Don't leave me hangin'!
Frog:
I think maybe it's a type of turnip?
Stinkman:
PERFECT. I love turnips! Next!
Blueberry:
Helllo.
Stinkman:
There's a rat on the set!!
Blueberry:
You paid me to be here.
Frog:
You got paid? What the hell, Stinkman.
Stinkman:
Oh, right! It's pop sensation Blueberry, from the game Walthros, from which this show takes its punny, punny name! Welcome to
paradise.
Blueberry:
It smells weird here.
Stinkman:
That would be the Frog. Don't mind him. So what's a pretty girl like you doing hanging out in a Role Playing Game?
Blueberry:
I ain't no girl, bro.
Stinkman:
Whoops! You've really stepped in it this time, Stinkman! Ho lordy!
Blueberry:
It's ok, Stinkman. You did not choose the way you feel.
Stinkman:
That's right! There's nothing wrong with my feelings for you. How does that make you FEEL?
Blueberry:
You're really kind of ugly and definitely very rude, so I'd say "repulsed."
Frog:
You got what you deserved, Stinkman.
Stinkman:
Holy cow! Everyone's givin' me the stink tonight! I like your tattoo. It's purple, and upside down. Very clever.
Frog:
Thanks.
Stinkman:
Blueberry, name three of your pop songs.
Blueberry:
Eggs a Plenty, The Astaroth Song, Micronesia.
Stinkman:
I stopped paying attention after "Eggs." Gross!
Blueberry:
Wouldn't be no life without eggs, man.
Stinkman:
What a thing to say! Has your intense cuteness ever caused problems with other OHR video game characters?
Blueberry:
Why are you asking me this?
Stinkman:
I'm so curious!!
Blueberry:
Some characters are cruel. They make my life choices a source of ridicule and profit off of this. Not going to name names, but it's clear that these men are in denial.
Frog:
Kill 'em all.
Stinkman:
No, Fat Frog! Don't do it! Violence is not the answer!
Frog:
It's all I know :(
Blueberry:
I appreciate the support, mandude. It's all cool, though. As long as the mainstream media keeps reporting, the truth will come out. You can only hire so many cute assistants to carry your luggage before some savvy journalist catches you in the act.
Stinkman:
I always carry my own luggage.
Blueberry:
Yeah, that's obvious.
Frog:
HONK
Stinkman:
What was that?! Oh, it must have been the bell! We're out of time! Until next time, this is Herschel Stinkman for Channel 1 News!
