This is a play on "What does the fox say?" I tried to mimic the annoying sounds a fax machine makes, with a subtle reference to The Paper from Homestar Runner.
My husband was controlling an NPC in my uncle's D&D campaign, set in a Russian folktale landscape. Every time the players started to coordinate a battle strategy, one of them would Leeroy Jenkins the plan. Simon was the main culprit that session.
About six months ago, my husband and I participated in a GameCola podcast, Hacks'n'Slash #4 (NSFW!), where a group of us did a theatrical reading of an awesomely bad Metroid fanfiction, titled "Metroid High School."
The most grievous offense the writer of this work committed was not the crazy shipping, or the convoluted plotlines, or the absolute lack of knowledge about how human bodies actually function... those are all necessary components of bad fanfiction, which make reading the genre so wonderful. No, the biggest grievance we had was her utter disregard for spelling. Not only did she continually mess up her main characters' names, but she also managed to misspell the word "around" two times, in two different ways, within one sentence. This note is a tribute to that. I do, however, have to applaud her for her creativity with the English language. Her invention of new verbs like "average teened" perfectly capture the tone of the dialogue. Inspired by the camp song "You Can't Ride in My Little Red Wagon."
Another King's Quest V note, this time with a tip-of-the-elf-hat to Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964).
