Sweep Opera

[Scary Snarky toaD]

Well, it happened. OS became so popular we all decided to start our own city, Sweepsville, USA. Everybody in the forums lives there. Some interesting things are going on, but you guys may want to add your own versions of the truth about what's REALLY happening in Sweepsville~~

(Rule of thumb -- add at least two full sentences, but leave the last sentence unfinished so the next person can complete it.)


DJ Killa couldn't believe it! A thick manila envelope had just been delivered to him, postage due no less. There was no return address, so he could not deduce it's origin, but he felt in his bones it HAD to be some kind of win. Heck, if he was going to have to pay 78 cents postage he HOPED it was a win at least. He was just about to open it up when his phone rang . . . .

[HASAMA]

there once was a town called sweepsville, it was located way up the hill, but the people did not care as long as ups, fedex airborne and the post office could make it there, so they swept and they swept, but were not in debt, because big brown never left!!!!

[crazywh1telady]

....a timid voice on the other end, "did you get a package today." Hesitantly DJ answered, "Who is this?". The voice on the other end replied with a sternness in her voice, "Whatever you do don't open the package." Click. The long erie sound of a disconnected line was all he heard on the other end. His thoughts were eating away at his curiosity. What was in this mysterious package and more importantly who was that on the phone? He decided he was going to open the package anyway. He gently took his finger and started to tear away at the right side of the envelope when......

[Scary Snarky toaD]

DJ heard a knock at his door. He opened it up and there was Lutz holding a bunch of balloons!

"Hey, Happy Birthday, Handsome!" she told him. "Ready for your party?"

"Party?"

"Well you have to have a party for your birthday, of course. I'm here to whisk you off to the Sweepsville Rec Center! Everybody's there waiting to celebrate with you."

"Well," DJ hesitated, looking at the envelope . . .

[tiny]

...DJ hesitated but ultimately decided to simply put the envelope down and give himself some time to think about it how best to handle it and its mysterious contents. Lutz took DJ by the hand and led him outside to her newly-won-from-HGTV GMC Envoy. DJ buckled himself in the passenger seat and imagined, as they drove, a party resplendent with Goldfish Crackers, Campbell's Soup and Ekrich Sausages. Maybe there would even be Starburst!

[missruth]

trying to decide what to do. He held the envelope to his ear. Nothing ticking. He felt it again and nothing lumpy or hard was inside.
Ok. He'll to the the party and take the envelope with him.

Once at the party, he decided to open the envelope, and once the paper was ripped open........

[DelilahVela]

There was a letter from Coke saying :nana you are never going to win HaHa

[crazywh1telady]

...As they drove along the highway to the sweepsville rec center dj started to dred agreeing to this party in the first place. Another year went by and he still has not won the big one yet. Oh how he longed for that grand prize win of a new hummer his benz was just not doing it for him anymore. Lutz pulled off the highway and on to a road that dj was not familar with.
"I just have to stop up here to pick up a package." Lutz said as she pulled into the driveway of an old victorian house. She jumped out of her new Envoy just when....

[tiny]

...Tommy came barreling out of the house next door with a pack of screaming, squealing, lust-crazed young supermodels hot on his heels!
"Jump in - QUICK!" cried DJ...

[crazywh1telady]

...dj then slipped over to the drivers seat and took over the wheel of the Envoy. Tommy slid into the passengers seat with lutz following behind into the back just as dj took off. The supermodels then jumped into their car and.....

[Ravzie]

DJ, Tommy and the girls raced against the clock, as they had to find out the identity of the unknown individual. Tommy, his copper instincts still sharp, knew that the sender of this package was on a vendetta to destroy them all. All of a sudden....

[Current]

Out of nowhere, Brent and Katie Scarlet leaped into the roadway, inches in front of the vehicle, both of them screaming......."Stop, Stop!!!" DJKilla jumped out of the car, a wild look on his usually innocent face.....and he said........

[tiny]

..."Hurry, get in!" Off again they sped. The crazed supermodels had nearly overtaken the SUV full of terrified sweepers when suddenly in the rearview mirror DJ spotted the familiar and never-before welcome sight of flashing police lights. He pulled the Envoy to the side of the road, watched the supermodels drive slowly past in their convertible, staring him down. He accepted his ticket gratefully - he even thanked the cop, and meant it! He knew it would be easily paid for with Lutz's HGTV cash - then cautiously pulled the car back onto the road...

[crazywh1telady]

...They started to head down toward the rec center again when DJ noticed a black sedan that was following close behind. He was starting to get nervous, after all the day has been full of mysterious and unusual occurrences. He looked into the back mirror again and the car was gone. Yeah he thought, just being paranoid. They pulled into the rec center parking lot and no one was there, the place looked deserted, all three of them got out of the suv....

[Ravzie]

And DJ said, "What happenend to Brent and Katie Scarlet? They're gone!!" Everyone looked around, shocked that their friends had mysteriously disappeared. Moments later,....

[tiny]

...and went in to the Rec Center. Though their hearts were pounding from the intrigue and excitement, they were immediately swept up in the festivities. The party was in full swing! It was Mardi Gras, Oktoberfest, and Carnaval, all rolled into one! There were people in costume! There was someone dressed as :jump: and there was a :royal1: and a :joker: and a :sherlock: ! There was even someone dressed as :bwhip: !
The excitement was infectious, and even though the thought of the mystery envelope and the crazed supermodels never left his mind, DJKilla...

[Ravzie]

ordered a beer and went to look for a willling woman. Tommy, however, was loyal to his missing friends and began to search for Brent and Katie Scarlet. "Once a copper, always a copper," he thought to himself. But his search came to a stop when...

[crazywh1telady]

...The supermodels pulled up into the parking lot in their convertible. They spotted Tommy which put him into a sprint toward the rec hall. Just as he reached the building.....

[tommy]

he spotted tiny and Ravzie whom appeared to be holding some kind of package betwwen their teeth. not knowing what was in the package he decided he better nextel dj to see if he could help him discover what these two lovely lasses had in their mouths.

[tiny]

R O F L M M-F A O

sorry...

please resume...

[clbrowni]

Upon closer inspection, he realized that they were snail mail entries that had to be dropped off that night. However, since their hands were bound from a party they were at earlier with DJ, they were unable to open up the mailbox and instead kept bumping their heads on the slot.

[Kimmiepie007]

all of the sudden out of no where appeared Shakeman, he said I can spot a woman whos hands are bound miles away, it reminded him of a few women he had dealings with on OS, and so...

[crazywh1telady]

...he unbound the girls hands. They both thanked shakeman for coming to their rescue. In the meantime...

[clbrowni]

On the other side of town at the perfume counter, a very groovy guy, armed to the teeth 8 different scents, was spraying down the nearby women with pilfered cologne bottles. Laughing a bit manically, he chased the woman around yelling something about Current. Little did he realize that just on the other side of the counter was…

[Scary Snarky toaD]

Katie Scarlett, who said, "Groovy Guru, what are you doing here? Don't you realize it's DJ's birthday? Brent and I were looking around the rec center and noticed a bunch of DJ's buddys were playing hookey! So come on now, put down those perfumes and let's go!"

Brent, the quiet, silent type, gave Groovy a stern look and Groovy knew he'd better get in gear.

"Well, ok," Groovy agreed, but I don't have a car. I have a bicycle with a wagon in back, if you two want to huddle in back, I'll try not to hit too many bumps."

"Good Grief," Katie mumbled to Brent as they slid around in the wobbly wagon, "the things we do to keep this community together!"

When they were just two blocks from the rec center, Katie screamed. Brent looked to see what had caught her eye and saw . . . .

[crazywh1telady]

...Bender running toward them with a crazed look on her face. Panting trying to catch her breath she turns to Brent and says, "The party...The rec center...come quick it's".......

[CatLover]

"the webmaster from EZSweeps! He's try to coerce our members into joining his website! He already has poor ChanceBunny bound hand and foot." Our intrepid friends dashed back to the rec center only to find ...

[JOYWIND]

Suddenly Brent, who was being fanned with ostrich feathers and hand fed kiwi by the O-S female moderators, let out a thunderous cackle. "You silly EzSweep bafoon!! You humor me with your silly antics. Just try to coherse my cult following but as you can see they are hopelessly devoted to me!!"

Brent snapped his fingers and George obientantly freed Chancebunny who scurried back to the party.

The party ensued where Nape suggested everyone do a keg stand. Tiny who was all to happy to oblige sucked down her share of Doc's Hardcore Apple Cider and suddenly started to.....

[Scary Snarky toaD]

bow before Brent.

Once they all leave, Brent takes the stage:

"Ok, people, it looks like we are going to have an ongoing problem with these competing sweepweb guys, so keep sharp and keep remembering, There's No Place Like OS!"

Now we're going to have a wet teeshirt party, and the members who are going to compete are: Lexi, Current, Michelle, as well as . . . .

[Current]

"wait. I have just been informed that Current has bowed out of the competition. Something about gravity or somesuch thing.....anyway"..........

[Ravzie]

Ravzie stepped up and said, "How much is the prize money? Most everyone has seen the new rack anyway. I gotta pay for them now, I might as well join the contest." But then she thought that foxy Accordinated and the hot Euph's Girl would hear about it and enter, so Ravzie returned to her debate with Rapunzel.

Moments later....

[Scary Snarky toaD]

"Well, if you gals have to be PICKY and ask what the prize is," Brent hesitated a moment, "I might as well tell you, it's going to be a DATE with me!"

All the gals started shrieking, and Brent pumped his hands in the air to calm them down. "Now don't get carried away. I'm not going to be doing anything my girlfriend wouldn't understand. But I thought a nice dinner and a 3 day cruise to Bermuda would be a lot of fun!

"If Current's dropping out because of the "gravity" of the situation, well, that's fine, so now let's find out who REALLY wants to compete:

"Ravzie's in I believe, how about Michelle, Accordinated and Lutz? Lex? Mare? Come on, who else would like to take a fun cruise with a handsome Sweepsmeister? Don't be shy . . ."

[tiny]

...at which point Tiny approached Brent, leaned in close, and whispered something in his ear. "I'm sorry ladies, the competition has been cancelled," announced Brent unexpectedly. A collective groan of disappointment issued from the bevy of gals who had just doused themselves in icy-cold water. Tommy and djkilla, ever-helpful, hurried over to the cold and wet gals with towels and dry t-shirts in hand...

[JOYWIND]

Clothed in new dry attire, the remaining contestants were outraged!!! :mad: What did Tiny say to Brent to make him call off the contest? How they longed for his carnal touch and to have long conversations about XML files and browser/operating systems that lasted until the sunrise. How dare she!!

The losing contestants gathered in mob formation and headed to find Brent and Tiny. After searching frantically over every square inch of the rec area they were no where to be found. They were tired, heart-broken and beat.

Suddenly Kbsocial appeared and calmly stated, "I have a secret. Wanna here?"

All eyes were upon her and opened wide when she said....

[tiny]

"...Joiwind's shift is starting in the Kissing Booth!"
All male members of OLS disappeared instantly in Roadrunner-esque trail of smoke, making a mad dash for the kissing booth. Visions of Joiwind's photo in the "I'm Curious..." thread dominated their thoughts as they began pushing and shoving in an attempt to get to the front of the line. Soon things had devolved into a full-blown brawl of smitten sweepers, which provided the perfect distraction for...

[PhoenixMommmy]

Tiny and Brent to make the escape! They looked at one another and Tiny quietly said, "Now we have everyone away from their computers!"

"Theres no one to compete with! Let's go enter some instants!"

They tip-toed toward the door with everyone focused on the kissing booth when Euphmansgurl turned quickly and said "AH HA!!! There they are!!"

Everyone rushed to Tiny and Brent. Everyone except...

[elainmir]

Tommy and Djkilla who "accidentally" dropped those dry t shirts in the punch bowl, so lutz, michele84 and the other girls had to keep those cold wet t shirts on.where is that stock of Hanes tagless t shirts when you need them?? After that fiasco....

[JOYWIND]

Gomez and his evil twin brother adbruptly appeared at the festive gathering.

"I tried to plea with you, everyone of you that you must claim all your taxes on wins, no exceptions." Gomez was obviously shaken. "Now my evil twin Schlomez is an IRS officer is going to audit you all."

"That's right!!," declared Schlomez, "and I have the documentation from your precious website of every Twix bar, bottle of Clorox beach and Crayola markers to make you all pay up hard. Muahahahahahaha."

"Wait!!!!" Djkilla had the floor of the stunned onlookers. "I just opened this envelope and it's from the Govenor of Sweepville. He grants us clemency on all wins. We don't have to ever pay taxes again."

Schlomez ripped the document from Dj's hands and stomped off into the night. The crowd exploded with cheers and raised Dj on their shoulders. He was the man of the hour.

Suddenly Allie decided it was time for a confession. Her words were broken and her face tear stained. "I know I'm happily married and the proud mother of adorable twins but I can no longer control my feelings. My world would be complete and I could die happily if I could spend just one night with......"

[PhoenixMommmy]

Tommy, that's right Tommy!" Allie said painfully. Everyone stopped and stared silently back and forth between Tommy and Allie. Her face was full of longing and pain at having to admit her feelings. Tommy stared hard into her eyes he was sure he heard correctly and yet he couldn't believe his luck! The FCUK fragrance he won earlier had paid off! He has ALLIE!! The charm of OS! He was about to run to her and embrace her when....

[Scary Snarky toaD]

Toad burst through the door on roller skates, dressed in something that might be termed Hip Hop attire.

"Am I late?" She asked everyone as she skated around, looking at the strange scene, DJ and a bunch of the guys saluted with their beers (DJ of course wearing his official Party Hat).

Seeing the still-drying wet tee shirts on a number of the crowd she shook her head. "Dang, I missed the competition. Well, hey, better late than never!" She started to pull off her overshirt so she could "join" the contest, when a chorus of groans went through the crowd.

"Uh," Bongeezer looked the rotund Toad up and down, "that's OK, my Green One, you are MUCH more beautiful fully dressed. Right, everybody?" Cheers and applause seemed to agree with him.

"Well, if you guys REALLY don't want to be dazzled by my 44DD's," Toad hesitated.

"Please," Gcomstock assured her, "don't spoil our fantasies! You don't want the rest of the gals to be jealous, do you?" (He turned around to the guys in back of him and made a retching gesture).

"I guess you guys are right." Toad reluctantly agreed. "So what's happening?"

"Well, before you burst in, Allie and Tommy were having a moment." Rapunzel said.

"A moment of what?"

Rapunzel hesitated. "Well, how do I put this . . . "

[elainmir]

Elaine is going to be hearbroken that Allie wants Tommy, especially Elaine and Tommy's history together! She might lose it, she was so heartbroken when Lutz stole Shakeman away...this might send her over the edge....but DJ speaks up and says Allie I thought you and I were forever loves...Then Tommy speaks up.

[Ravzie]

"Girls, girls," he said, "There's enough of me to go around!! Don't you worry about a thing.''

Then DJKilla said, "And I'm here just in case he can't handle the workload."

Allie was not about to settle for that. She said, "...

[JOYWIND]

"Tommy is the first thing I think when I wake up, I dream about him while I sleep, and when I lay beside my husband, my mind is still flooded with thoughts of Tommy. I want to be his only lass and the only recepient of his tender kisses. My flesh is hungry for Tommy. I don't care what anyone thinks!!!" proclaimed Allie, her voice oozing of sincerity.

Tommy has a gleam in his eye and can't believe his good fortune. Suddenly, the angelic chorus is broken when Itsknotsew steps dead center to intervene between the lovers first kiss.

"Stop it!!! Stop it NOW!!!" Sherril screams wildly. "You and Tommy can never be together because he is not who you think he is. You see a charismatic man who can charm the venom out of a rattlesnake but this man is really...your...", the words were caught in the middle of Itsknotsews throat as she choked out the next sinful word, "FATHER!!!!

How could this be?? Itsknotsew went on to explain that years and years ago...

[elainmir]

when Tommy was DJkilla's age he and Itsknotsew had a beautiful but brief relationship and Allie was their child , Tommy had no idea because itknotsew left town and let her family raise Allie... Allie knew her connection to Tommy was strong for some reason.....now she knew why...

meanwhile heartbroken Elaine is wondering if Tommy would ever feel the way she feels about him....but while she was wondering about him...he was .......

[crazywh1telady]

...off to find Tiny. After all that lass had a soft spot in his heart and he was kind of jealous that she was off doing instants with Brent, even if he was the master of all of sweepville he did not feel it was right that they were gallivanting all over town.

In the meantime DJ was still worried about turning another year older, everyone at os is so wonderful and have really lifted his spirits but he was wondering if that was enough to satisfy him or if he really needed that hummer? Just then his cell phone rang, it was the same mysterious person from earlier that day, and they said.......

[JOYWIND]

in a deep, raspy voice, "Define hummer. Nevermind what I really meant to say was, beware of the change that lurks beneath the surface."

Perplexed Dj didn't have any idea what to make of this. "Who is this?? What do you want?? Leave me and the residents of Sweepville alone!!"

"Beware of the change that lurks beneath the surface," said the unknown, husky voice.

Dj hung up the phone more confused than ever. He was unable to think of little else. It had become his albatross.

Tiny came from behind the door which had been locked for hours, cigarette dangling from between her lips, hair unkempt, and perspiration glistened on her tone body. "Those were some intense instants Brent and I just did." said Tiny wiping the back of her hand on her forehead.

"Nevermind that Tiny, you have to help me get to the bottom of this and what does this mean?", Djkilla recalled the entire mysterious voice and what was said.

"Oh my Gawd, I think I know who that is!!!!!", exclaimed Tiny.

Suddenly Brent called out for Tiny in the background, "Tiny bring me a Zima!!" he said gruffly.

"Oooops got to go," Tiny said as she obediantly followed Brent's commands and scurried off to be by his side. She was eager not to lose her status as his instant win hoochie afterall she was one of the most envied women in Sweepville due to her affiliation with the great Oz. :rofl3:

But Dj wasn't lonely for long when.....

[elainmir]

Lutzplay2 sashayed into the room wearing a barely there evening gown and 4 inch pumps....she saunters up to DJ gives him the bedroom eyes , winks ,then walks away as she throws a small air kiss over her shoulder.....DJ is lovestruck.....Elaine is warning him...she's done horrible things to Shakeman...he's still in therapy....she's on parole.she's NOT the one for you...but DJ is not listening...Brent asks Joiwind and Kbsocial for advice about Tiny...seems she has some secrets...

[Scary Snarky toaD]

Suddenly Ziggywag gets up on a soap box:

"Hey, everybody, what is going on here? This is looking like Peyton Place, not DJ's birthday celebration! Some of you are just going to HAVE to deal with your attraction for other members at a better place and time, or at least be more subtle about it, sheesh!"

"Sorry Ziggywag," KBsocial hung her head, "so what do you suggest we do other than swill beer and drool all over each other?"

"Well, if the tee shirt competition is out --" (Everybody looked at Toad and shouted, "It's out!") How about a talent contest? Anyone around here have any talent? Like singing, breakdancing, kazoo playing . . .

[allie]

(ROFLMFAO - I read this off to my DH and he didn't even ask who Tommy was.. hmm, lmao!!)

[Heather]

.. harmonica or bagpipes playing, the harp, or the like. Having fetched Brent's Zima and one for herself (probably not the first Zima), Tiny decided to display her talents by jumping up on the table and dancing with her killer body to the upbeat music! As everyone was watching her and drooling, DJ got up on the table and joined her, dancing provocatively close. Everyone knew DJ and Tiny were enjoying themselves immensely, so everybody at the party decided to join in. It was like one big dancing-talent competition. Before long...

[Ziggywag]

everyone was dancing. The music was so loud that DJ never heard his phone ringing. Tommy came running in waving his arms wildly to get everyone's attention because he was afraid something was about to happen but no one paid attention.

Suddenly, the room went dark and silent. Everyone was scared. A loud sinister voice shouted, "I warned you to Beware of the change that lurks beneath the surface, but you disregarded my warnings. Now you will all pay dearly."

Tommy, being the ever resourceful copper had found the power circuits and got the lights back on. But not a trace of the mysterious person could be found. Who is it? everyone wondered.

Just then Brent walked in and called Tiny. They left the room and then suddenly...

[Current]

(I'm still laughing my a$$ off at DJ and the hummer!!)

ROFLMAO!!!!

[elainmir]

.....Toad starts singing to Tommy and dancing.....DJ stands looking bereft that Tiny has once again followed Brent out of the room......Kbsocial feels like something is not right so she decides to follow Brent and Tiny.....she sees them talking quietly in the hallway.....Brent leaves Tiny and heads back to the party.....Kbsocial sees Tiny slip quietly into a darkened room....

[Ziggywag]

she quietly follows Tiny trying to see what she is up to and sees Tiny standing in front of a big birthday cake that says "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DJ KILLA" She is lighting the candles and kbsocial offers to help. Tiny was so frightened by the unexpected appearance of kbsocial that she screamed at the same time the music in the main room was turned on loud again.

No one heard her scream again either when the lights went off in the room. By the dim glow of the few candles she had lit, she saw a dark figure enter the room and drag kbsocial out.

She ran to turn on the lights and she looked out into the hallway but it was empty.
There was a note on the floor - it read "Beware of Hummers" crossed out with red crayon. No, never mind that should say "beware of the change that lurks beneath the surface."

Tiny ran into the hallway when suddenly...

[PhoenixMommmy]

all eyes turn to toad who is still strutting her stuff on the dance floor. The scene literally took everyones mind off the note in the hallway that seemed to have hand writing oddly familiar to one of our own. Toad shaking her booty and attempting the running man seemed to capture all attention. Silence that fell over the crowd except for her occasional croak and ribbet. She continued to show off her "talent" when politely Djkilla went up and tried to assist her in finishing her show when all of a sudden...

[elainmir]

toad grabs Dj in a bear hug and makes him dirty dance with her....while they are in the middle of a serious bump and grind, Tiny runs into the room shouting someone took Kbsocial.....shes gone!
All eyes turn to Tiny .... Tommy being the retired copper makes Tiny him what she saw.....meanwhile Brent enters the room disheveled......................

[tommy]

and begins to do the funky chicken with elaine and lutz. Elaine then decides to dance like there is no tomarrow while removing her tank top so that she can let it all hang out and just be herself. Tiny and Ziggywag then decide they can't let Elaine have all the fun and grab dj ----

[PhoenixMommmy]

in his hand Brent holds an object. As he comes closer to the crowd it becomes evident he is holding a voice changer that he won in a contest. It is set to the "deep grumbling musky voice" Everyone turns eyes wide confused and struggling to understand what this mean.

Tommy is in the corner with a heat lamp blarring in Tiny's face as she struggles to tell him about the note in the hallway. When she hands him the note it has splatters of blood and blurred finger prints. Tommy whips out his handy-dandy copper briefcase and all the essentials to test finger prints. He analyzes them and discover they belong to....

[elainmir]

Toad! He turns to confront Toad....but Toad is being held back by Groovyguru and GComstock...seems she is fighting to dance topless..but all Groovy and Comstock can think is how many injuries will result if those 44DD 's get loose..DJ has made Lutz and Elaine put their tops back on.... Tommy realizing the fingerprints are Toad's and the voice modulator are Brent's realizes this could only mean........

[Ravzie]

...that there was a manical plot afoot to destroy Sweepsville!! Some dastardly conspiracy to frame the upstanding citizens was in progress!!! Who would betray their friends in such a cruel manner??

"We must call the police", Current said, "they'll figure out what is happening and lock up the guilty parties forever!!"

But Peachypoo shrieked at the very thought and it looked like Peachypoo and Current would come to blows, right there in front of the whole gang!!

Always the voice of reason, George Comstock took control of the situation when he...

[Current]

stepped between Peachypoo and Current. He said, "Remember everyone, we are all a FAMILY, a sweeping family, and we must let bygones be bygones. Current and Peachypoo looked at each other, and then decided that he was right. Everyone watching was nodding in agreement, and there were a few tears starting to form in some people's eyes, when Mare entered the room and shouted..............

[tiny]

"UPS IS HERE!"
Everyone shrieked and ran quickly outside.
"Beep-beep-beep" cried the truck as it backed into the driveway.
From out of the driver's side door emerged Tiny's UPS-crush, looking a bit dismayed. He strode sexily to the rear doors, and swung them open with his muscular arms to expose a truck stuffed completely to the brim with boxes.
"Okay, let's see..." he sighed and began calling out names. Everyone took their turn signing for and receiving their package.
It was like Christmas! What a scene! There were empty boxes and bubble wrap and tissue paper everwhere.
Current fondled her fancy new lingerie and squealed with delight.
Ziggwag plugged her spankin' new Gretsch guitar into the amp and began to jam.
Tommy and DJKilla excitedly waved around the documents which declared they would be on the judging panel for the Coors Light Maxim Girl Search.
Tiny sat quietly in the corner where Tommy had left her, sniffing the spine of her newly-won 1st edition Dickens, delicately fingering the pages and reading, breathless, under the glare of the lamp he had used to interrogate her.
People were tooting the horns on their new SUVs and jingling the keys to the front doors of their dream homes.
Everyone had received the win they most desired!
Something was going on here, that was sure, but it no longer seemed so sinister.
Toad felt it was time to come clean, so she turned up the volume on her brand new Mr. Microphone, cleared her throat and said...

[carogonza]

"I have a confession to make and a secret to tell."

[angelynn03]

"AHA, I Broke the COKE code those anniston guys are using to WIN and I used them to allow all my OS friends to win their dream prize...but there is ONE catch...

[Current]

"It wasn't just me!!!!! Brent was in on it too!! He helped me with all the computer stuff. I feel so ashamed," and at that point she burst into tears. StarbucksAddict rushed to her side and said.....

[Scary Snarky toaD]

"Well, apparently your heart WAS in the right place -- I suppose," Starbucks Addict frowned at the cringing Toad, "But what happened to KBSocial?"

Toad looked at Katie. "I think you should tell them."

Katie Scarlett glared, "Benedict Arnold! You said you wouldn't tell!" Everyone looks at Katie.

"Ok, we tied KB up in the back room -- she uncovered the plot and we knew she would tell everyone! But she's ok now, and the only the reason there's blood all around is because KB had a spontaneous nosebleed while we were gagging her with an orange."

Several members rush back to the back room where KB was trying to chew through the orange stuck in her mouth and stuggling to get her hands free from the Red Licorice ropes which had been used to tie her up.

Several members brought her back into the main room, where DJ, Groovy, Snookers, Katieco and Songcat were all heaped in a corner, soused on beer and singing off tune.

"Shay, dish ish a great birfday party, Brento, you buddy-o," DJ intoned, but before Brent could respond, a large crash was heard, the ceiling cracked, and through the roof, plunging only feet away from the happy celebrators, dropped a . . .

[PhoenixMommmy]

Giant box of nothing but Coke Classic with GOLD CAPS!! There was Coke spewing everywhere from the blast! Those who weren't entered in the wet teeshirt contest were now soaked anyway! Everyone forgetting about the gold caps turned quickly to Toad who was being shielded from splatters by several Sweepvillians who reassured her that it just wasn't right to see such a perfect pair of 44DDs be sticky with a product she had such a hate for! She was thankful as were the rest of us! Feeling safe that toad was fully clothed everyone ran to the box claiming their caps! DJKilla turned to Tommy and said "Now we have them exactly where we want them!! They'll never see it coming!"

"Ready?" Tommy replied. "On the count of 3"

Together, "1, 2....

[Ziggywag]

Tommy and DJ jumped on the table and started putting on a performance that would put the Chippendales to shame. The OLS women were going wild, pushing and shoving to get right up front for the super revealing show. They quickly forgot about coke and coke gold caps. Suddenly Brent, Groovy, Shakeman and Gomez joined them on the table. This would be a night that Toad, Tiny, kbsocial, crazywh1telady, Current, carogonza, ravzie, Ziggy, clbrowni, Katie Scarlett, joiwind25 and all the rest would never forget.

But it wasn't over yet. Suddenly the ground shook and 20 Hummers burst through the walls, men in disguise (oddly they looked like they were wearing coke delivery men uniforms) jumped out. At gunpoint they held back the OLS'ers while they loaded all the gold caps into the Hummers. They quickly sped off and the furious OLS sweepers were left capless again.

Everyone turned to the the OLS law enforcement specialist - Tommy.

But where was he?

[carogonza]

Nobody knew. The Hummers were gone, Tommy was gone and the the precious gold caps were gone. It was then that evryone realized something sinister was afoot.

Where was SHerlock?? Sherlock could solve this mystery. It was then that Brent shouted, "We have to go find Tommy and the gold caps." Everyone grabbed their keys and ran out the door. But which way would they go? WHere could Tommy be?

[elainmir]

Joiwind was beginning to suspect Tommy had set up DJ's birthday party to snare all the COKE caps because HE KNEW they were coming! She grabbed Elaine who still had a handfull of one dollar bills that she was trying to slip in all those dancin OS fellas thongs...and they ran out the door...realizing that everyone else had left to follow Tommy...and those COKE CAPS.....then they see DJ in Lutz's new Envoy going the opposite way......Joiwind shouts come on girl lets follow him....

[clbrowni]

However, when they reached the remaining cars, the tires had all been slashed. Who would do this in sweepville usa!? Puzzled, but undaunted, they looked for an alternate means of transport...transport did someone say? Out of the corner of her eye, Joiwind saw some boxes that were previously overlooked! Joy came to their eyes when the words 'SEGWAY' were printed on the sides! Even more amazing was that they were all fully powered and ready to roll. Unfortunately, none of them really knew how to use these devices and kept driving into the side of the building. Eventually...

[Ravzie]

they all gave up on the Segways. But lo and behold, among the boxes were several $3000 mountain bikes, 3 razor scooters and 1 Vespa! The handiest of the Sweepville residents assembled and prepared them, and off they went down the road. But could the rag tag group catch the vehicle?

[HASAMA]

Never because their feet were as fast as their fingers, unbeknowndst to outsiders they had taken to using two computers at once to sweep, one withtheir fingers and one with their toes so they were fast real fast......

[clbrowni]

Even though they thought they had as much of a chance to catch them as to win a creative presentation entry, being the dexterous folks they were, they endeavored to try.

With the wind in their hair and an undaunting determination in their eyes, the sweepers zoomed down the back roads of sweesville, usa. About a mile down the road, Katie Scarlett, began waving her arms trying to get everyone's attention.

The sweepers, slightly disappointed, pulled over to hear what Katie desparatly needed to tell them...

[kimberlypp]

While Katie Scarlett tries to catch her breath, the scene cuts away to our beloved Tommy. Tied hand and foot with dental floss won from colgate. He struggles with his ties and curses under his breath. In the other corner surrounded by a mile high pile of gold caps a diabolical figures laughs. Could it be? Is the puppet master back in Sweepsville? Is it MR. DAVE?

[carogonza]

Yes. He was back in Sweepsville. The evil devilish Mr. Dave had returned. He laughed at Tommy struggling to break free. "You will never escape, Tommy," he said laughing. "and furthermore, the others will think you are the one who stole the gold caps. Oh my master plan is right on target. HA HA HA"

Tommy continued struggling to loosen the ties that bound him. Using his copper instints he knew he would free himself from the binds but would it be too late to foil the evil Mr. Dave.

"Stop trying Tommy. You will never get free and soon I will be in control of all the coke gold caps and all the prizes will be mine."

On the other side of town, at the annual Puffy Club meeting Toad comes bursting into the office to inform the cabinet of the goings on. "Tommy set us up and now is plotting to take over the Coke Gold Caps. We need to do something. FAST!"

"Tommy? Our beloved Tommy? It can't be!" cried the President.

"No way, Tommy wouldn't do this," said Midnight Moon.

"No it's not Tommy." A voice from the back said. "This has all the makings of he who shall not be named," said Euphmansgurl. A loud gasp was heard in the room. It couldn't be. Puffy's number one enemy had returned to Sweepsville.

"No! Not him" cried Wannawin. "It can't be!"

"Yes, I fear the diabolical Mr. Dave is back, " said Carogonza matter factly. "he has returned and this time he will be stopped."

[Current]

Current (The High Dictatoress) swooned and fell to the floor in a dead faint. Her worst nightmare had come true. MrDave (The High Dictator) had crossed over to the Dark Side. GroovyGuru rushed to her side, dropped down to his knees, leaned over Current and.....

[Ravzie]

began to adminster mouth to mouth!

He huffed and puffed, and Current sprang back to life!!

"You gotta lay off the garlic", she said, "But thank you, dear Guru, you've saving me from certain death."

The High Dictator let forth an evil laugh and...

[crazywh1telady]

"..said don't worry Current, I will catch up to you some day, only .03568215% left. ha, ha, ha!. And that DJ Killa thinking he can become master, I will put an end to that along with winning forever in the town of sweepsville and rename it loserville, where the only one winning is none other then me, Mr Dave." his evil laugh echoed though the hollows of town and everyone just looked in horror. The citizens of sweepsville were not going to let this happen. They had came up with a plan that.....

[djkilla]

:laugh: :rofl2: :laugh:

[carogonza]

first they had to all get together and try to figure out where to start. No on had seen Lutz or Dj since the whole "stripping Incident." They had left in the Envoy and no one really knew if they were aware that the so-called High Dictator was back to cause havoc in Sweepsville. Tommy was gone and no one knew that the evil Mr. Dave had him tied up in his lair.

Toad decided to try and reach Brent and the others with a Nokia phone that eyowyn had won through CokeMusic. One of the only phones not won by the Anniston folks, by the way. Anyway, once Brent was reached it was agreed to gather up as many of the Sweepsville residents as possible and meet at Brent's secret Sweeps Cave to plot a strategy.

Meanwhile, back at Mr. Dave's lair, Tommy had almost cut through his ties thanks to the Oscar Meyer keychain he kept in his pocket. But he was still unsure how he would escape and try and stop Mr. Dave. Mr. Dave had left the room where Tommy was over an hour ago and he wasn't sure what else the evil one was plotting. Just as Tommy had finished cutting through the floss, he heard a commotion outside the door. OMG, it was . . .

[crazywh1telady]

....the Oscar mayer Weiner man. He has been secretly working for Mr Dave this whole time. "He ran up to Tommy and said don't think you will escape my grasp." He quickly squirted ketchup out of the top of his Weiner and got tommy right in the eye. Tommy kicked the weiner and ran out of there with all his might. Once outside he was not sure where Mr Dave had taken him. He looked around for clues back to sweepville, and then listened. In the background he could here the faint sound of a campaign truck shouting DJ Killa for president. He headed off toward the sound knowing that was the way to sweepsville. Just then....

[Ziggywag]

music started playing again but OH NO, weiner man had gotten into the sound system.

"Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener, that is what I'd truly like to be. Cause if I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner everyone would be in love with me."

It wouldn't turn off. The sound system was programed to play it over and over and no one could turn it off. The CD case read, "beware the danger that lurks beneath. <---- (crossed out in red crayon) NO NO DJ Killa's campaign theme song"

DJ was preparing to toss out Coke Gold caps to his loyal voters as a campaign strategy but when he opened the box that was supposed to have them, he found none other than a box full of

TALKING BOLOGNA KEYCHAINS

That fiend Mr. Dave. this had his M.O. written all over it.

But all of a sudden....

[Scary Snarky toaD]

back where Tommy had just gotten free and was trying to elude the Weiner Man, Crazywh1telady, who had managed to get one of the Segways to work, was speeding by and Tommy hailed her. "Hey, pretty lassie!"

"Tommy!" She stopped the Segway, but since there was only room for one to stand on the vehicle, she got up on Tommy's shoulders and he led the way to Brent's Cave.

"Tommy," CWL looked back, "Is that a big Weiner Man following us?"

"Yes, but he'll never ketchup!" Tommy chuckled.

And truly, it did look like the Weiner man was only able to move his big Weiner feet only so fast, and as Tommy and CWL turned a corner . . .

[tiny]

OMG!
LMAO!
:rofl2:

[Ziggywag]

"Tommy," CWL looked back, "Is that a Weiner following us?"

"Yes, but he'll never ketchup!" Tommy chuckled..


Sorry but I am LMAO :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Toad you are so funny :)

[carogonza]

CWL almost ran into the black Envoy that was parked in the middle of the street. To her and Tommy's amazement, there was Lutz dancing a top the truck while holding a "DJ for Prez" sign.

On the other side of town, the fiendish Mr. Dave was packing some items, including the coveted Coke Gold Caps into his helicopter. He had to leave Sweespville for now because soon Tommy would find Brent and the others and tell them that in fact he was back. "Ha, they won't catch me ever," he said as he quickly boarded the copter. "I have to revert to plan B."

In the meantime, at Brent's Bat Cave, several Sweespville residents were trying to figure out where the evil High Dictator could be. Just then, Current ran in and shouted. . .



(p.s. Toad - he'll never ketchup - that cracked me up!!!!)

[Scary Snarky toaD]

"OMG, there he is!" Current pointed toward the ceiling!

There was Mr. Dave, Dressed in Silver Spandex, wearing a silver mask!

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha," I got you all to think I was ONE of you, didn't I? Idiots! NONE of you were smart enough to fool your old enemy:

THE MAD DRAGER!!

"Yes, I knew I needed to adopt a Clark Kent persona, something to set some of you off who were already fast on my tail! I had to calm down your suspicions. 'Mr. Dave," sounds a lot more FRIENDLY, now, DOESN'T it, KIDDIES! I mean the SHAME of it all, most of you ADULTS WASTING your time collecting one Coke Cap at a time! I have LOVED harrassing all of you like I did during the REPUTATION BUTTON FIASCO!! Yes, I sold the program to Brent CHEAP, hoping to be able to CONTINUALLY make you fight among yourselves and NEVER SWEEP. What does Brent get out of the Deal? Me paying him a lot of money under the table? Of course not! I'm so brilliant, it serves BRENT's interests because you again are distracted from winning much of anything, or at least your sweeping time gets REALLY cut into, because you get FORUMS ADDICTED, the severest SWEEPER FLU that can PLAGUE an ENTIRE POPULATION! He wins more of the BIG prizes while the rest of you win NOTHING but the chance to BLOW A LOT OF HOT AIR!

And spend most of your time flooding the Boards with your paranoid drivel!! I :love: to let you the work, Coke-wise, so all I have to do is follow the Coke Sheep around, then STEAL the caps, and reconfigure my computer to make all YOUR decibels go to MY account! I've been working with the Allistairs (sp) by the way, in case you have been too dumb to figure that out!

"Still, Many of you were getting too Smart for your Britches, Weren't You? Even Current, my Lady Love, My Goddess and Sweep Queen (She must be a Sweep Queen, I always see her flying through the room on her broom), has been having a hard time hiding from all of you that she has been secretly Nextelling me of all your Movements! To see who's really FOR me, and who's AGAINST me, planted here to fool all of you with her innocent smile -- mesmerizing you with her beauty as I took full control of all Coke Caps!

"YES! Did you think we did not SUSPECT Coke had carried your sweepers hearts away?

"I mean like HELLO, Coke's an embarrassingly rich company -- rich selling gooey brown syrup, I mean, how hard can that job BE?" Guffaw, guffaw!

*Mimicking a Coke Executive* : Jerry: "Say, Fred, whatcha think we aughta do today?"

Fred: "How about we produce Coke Syrups, bottle them, add water and send them all over the place?"

Jerry: "Sounds like a plan Fred. Whatcha think we aught to do tomorrow?"

Fred: "Same thing, except we pay someone else to do it out of 5% of our profits and we can spend 95% of the money on Golf and Casino Vacations for the rest of our lives."

Jerry: "Then we steal the Poor Cap Collectors Minds, and sweep addicts will follow us like Hippies Follow A Roadside Stand of Tye-Dyed Teeshirts!"

"We threw TRINKETS at you," the Mad Drager Laughed almost sadly, "Trinkets! I mean, how much do you think it costs to make and mail out a million Oscar Meyer "You're Fulla Baloney," Keychains? Three Cents per customer! Three Cents!! Do you know the amount of money we get back without doing ANYTHING DIFFERENT every year for that 3 Cents? We make 300 times that much. It's almost RIDICULOUS!

"It's been all TOO EASY! With your little fuzzy cute hugs all through your messages! I had to hold my stomach back!

"You don't know how I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed destroying Sweepsville and all it's inhabitants in every way! And this is the Coup d'Grace, where I totally DE-CAP-I TATE ALL THE COKE CAPS!!! HA HA HA HA HA!"

So the MAD DRAGER was behind EVERYTHING! His laughter echoed throughout Brent's Bat Cavern, in rounded tones until all of the sudden, the Mad Drager's voice cracked, then seemed to choke, but he was MESMERIZED in fear to see

PUFFY!

Looking nearly as big as the Marshmallow Man in the Ghostbusters!

PUFFY was looking mean, and the Mad Drager cringed, then . . . .

[carogonza]

Just as Puffy was going to shoot the evil Drager with his marshmallow goo net, Current pulled out a blowtorch.

"Take one step, fat boy and you're ready to be shoved between graham crackers and chocolate. Come on Puff Daddy, make my day." There was a gasp in the room and Puffy stopped. "Drager, here are the keys to the Envoy, run and get it started." The evil Drager caught the keys and took off. "Toad, Carogonza, Wannawin and Phoenix Mommy, come with me. You are our hostages."

The four Puffy cabinet members hesitated but Current cranked up the torch and they knew they had to go with the evil ones or their beloved Puffy would literally, be toast or worse yet, toasted. "

"You won't get away with this Current. You and Mr. Dave, Drager or the Dr. Evil, whatever his damn name will be brought down sooner or later," said Brent. "We will get you."

"Stupid, stupid foolish sweepers, you couldn't even figure out I was working with the High Dictator. I fooled you all. You will never catch us or the gold caps. Now all of you get into that closet, NOW!" The sweepers reluctantly move toward the closet as Current points the blow torch at Puffy. She locks the door and laughs. "Now you four, I will burn you to a crisp if you don't behave. Now get moving." The four slowly walk toward the door. Outside Drager is now in the car waiting to escape.

"Better tie them up first," he says fiendishly.

"Yes, my High Dictator. And don't worry, those others will not escape from the locked room. Now let's get moving."

But as they drove off, they didn't see that from behind the now defunct Weiner Mobile, somebody was watching the whole scene. . .

[Scary Snarky toaD]

A shadowy, nefarious person was certainly lurking inside: But the Sherlockian Mind of the Resident Toad was smelling a rat from that car, but the four PUFFY Officers were roughly pushed to move on, and ignore the stranger in the Weiner Car!

"Hey Madame Prez," Toad whispered to Carogonza.

"What?" Caro whispered back.

"I've cracked the case!"

"Impossible!"

"Elementary, my Dear Puffy President," :sherlock: "The RINGLEADER of these Rubes who have been thwarting our ability to win the BIG SWEEPS are still to be unveiled!"

"What? You mean Drager answers to a higher Dictator?"

"It's an Organization, actually!"

"What do you mean?" They were given a great deal of time to whisper back and forth as all enemies were taking a potty break.

"Didn't you notice? It was Plain to see by even a NON-genius! Every one of them is wearing a white ring!"

"Maybe they all like the same kind of ring," the Puffy Prez surmised . . .

"Nope," the incredibly super-intelligent Toad responded, "Not likely. I think what we have here is your classic VAST WHITE RING CONSPIRACY!"

Carogonza felt the hair rise up on her neck! No other phrase could have struck such fear into the Puffy President's veins! She began to faint and . . .

[clbrowni]

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP HONK

This has been a test of the emergency sweepcast system. This is only a test. If this had been a real emergency, you would have been forced to turn off your computers and interact with member of your family or local community. We will now return you to the sweep opera already in progress...

...caught herself mid-fall realizing that there's just too much fainting going on already around here. Next time we build a d**n town, it needs to be on a lower elevation!

"No, I just won't, no I can't believe it!" Carogonza's voice was cracking and her hands were wet with sweat.

[carogonza]

"It just can't be!" cried Carogonza.

"I thought we had gotten rid of the Vast White Ring Conspiracy," said PhoenixMommy. "Puffy had stomped them out about two years ago. How were they able to come back?"

"They must have regrouped but who could be leading them? If Drager is answering to someone else then who could actually be the leaders of the new organization? said Wannawin.

"Don't know. We have to get to Puffy Headquarters so I can do a search in our database. There has to be someone we are overlooking," said Toad.

"Well the members of the last Vast White Ring Conspiracy are all deceased or in jail. Unless, they have someone else working for them. We need to remember who was at DJ's party and who wasn't," surmised Carogonza.

"Or maybe it's one of the newbies to Sweepsville, " said PhoenixMommy. "there has been an influx of residents lately and maybe one of them is the culprit.

"In any case, we can't do a thing here locked and tied up in this car," said Toad.

"What are we going to do?' said Wannawin.

"First we need to escape from this predictament we are in," said Carogonza. "Toad, you're the genius here, think of something."

In the meantime, besides taking a potty break, Drager and Current decided to stop and get a bite to eat at the diner next to the gas station. They were laughing and talking about how well their plan was going.

"My dear Queen, how well we fooled those saps in Sweepsville. We are on easy street, forever," said Drager as he gobbled down some fries.

"Yes, my dictator, they were so blinded by the thought of winning at CokeMusic that it was easy to trick them. Now what is our next step? We have those Marshmallow Freaks in the car and, frankly, I am sick of them. What are we going to do with them?"

"I hate to kill them as they are all such beautiful creatures although not as beautiful as you my love," said Drager as he reaches over to feed french fries to Current. "But we may have no choice. The triumvirate are not going to be happy that we didn't kill that mass of white sugary goo. You should have toasted him when you had the chance, My lovely."

"I couldn't. There were too many Sweepsville residents there and even though I am an evil-doer, some of them are my friends, I mean, were, I mean, well I didn't think they all needed to be killed. Plus, it would have been too messy and we needed to get out of there fast. Right now, they are locked in the closet with no escape anyway."

"Don't tell me you are going soft, Current, I won't have that," cried Drager. "they are troublemakers and fools. We can only think of ourselves and the organization now. Do you understand?"

"Yes," said Current taking a sip of her Pepsi. But in the back of her head a little voice was telling her that maybe Drager was not right.

In the car, Toad and the others had found some old pepperidge farm wallets, a Nemo towel, some J.Lo perfume and luckily a Hershey keychain. Since Toad is super intelligent she was able to figure out how to use the wallet and keychain to cut through the ties that bound them. Once they were free, they tried to unlock the doors of the car but found that the fiendish Mr. Dave aka Drager had locked them in using a super duper locking mechanism.

"Okay, we'll need to wait until they get back and then make a break for it," said Carogonza.

"I got it, here rip this nemo towel and be ready to put it over your nose when I give the signal," said Toad. "Get ready."

They saw Current and Drager approaching the car and once they opened the door PhonenixMommy and Wannawin opened the passenger doors. "Now!" cried Toad. Toad grabbed the bottle of the J.Lo perfume and blasted Current and Drager in the face. With one whiff, they both started choking and coughing and fell to the ground. "It won't kill them but it will keep them down for a while," yelled Toad as the four made a run for it.

"Thank god, for J.Lo," said Wannawin.

The four ran with nothing but the clothes on their back, the wallets they found and their pockets full of gold caps, just in case. They ran into the night not knowing where they were or how they would return to Sweepsville. They ran but little did they know that their adventure was just beginning.

Meanwhile back in Sweepsville. . .

[Scary Snarky toaD]

"Everybody stop complaining that you can't get to a computer and register your decibels!" Angelyn shouted to the crowd who'd been locked in the closet. "Puffy's trying to make a call!"

DJ and his group of still-soused friends were still howling in a corner, singing, "Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meier Weeeenerrrrrrrrrr....."

"That goes for you too!" Tiny interrupted their aria. "Obviously we are at a great loss because we don't have the Super Highly Intelligent Toad here to advise us, so we will have to be happy using all of our REGULAR intelligence!"

"Hush Tiny," Angelyn reminded her, "Puffy's making a call."

Puffy had pulled a Red Nextel out of his puffy folds, and began to make a Red Hotline call, to none other than THE PRESIDENT --- of the Puffy Club!

. . . Unfortunately, however, Carogonza had turned off her own phone, as she hadn't wanted it to disturb her during DJ's party.

"Where are we?" Wannawin asked.

"Looks like some kind of forest," Phoenix Mommy added.

"We have to regroup," Toad told them, "we need to set up a Hidden Control Room for handling all Puffy Relations, and it will be a place for us to hide when we're having an Orange Alert! Don't you agree, Madame President, this DOES deserve Orange Alert status, doesn't it!"

"Absolutely, if THIS isn't Orange Alert time, with our Puffy locked in a closet with a bunch or crazy sweepers, nothing is."

"Look, there's a cave!" Phoenix Mommy pointed it -- once there and they found it surprisingly cozy. Since all Puffy Officers had been trained to ALWAYS carry penlights, they all lazered the room with them, and it was dry and covered with moss. "This would make a great Puffy Headquarters!"

"Well, I suppose it's better than sleeping out in the open woods at this hour, since it's getting darker," Carogonza shivered . . .

[Current]

All of a sudden, there is a whimpering noise coming from the woods at the edge of the road. Everyone froze, not knowing what it was. Starbucks grabbed the only flashlight, and shined it in the forest. "Shhhhhh", she said, "Be quiet!".

As everyone looked on with baited breath, Current crawled onto the road, clasping the pebbles and rocks, dragging herself towards her friends. She was hurt and bleeding. Tears were running down her face, blending with the blood, making a koolaid kind of thing going on.

"HE MADE ME DO IT!!", Current cried, "I didn't want to!!!!"

She gasped one last sentence....."He has gone crazy, he is not the man I once knew, he gave me some kind of drink......I really didn't want to....forgive me!!!" Dagnabit!!! I don't know what in tarnation is going on!!!!

Then she said no more.

Until...............................

[carogonza]

Starbucks slapped her face. "Oww, bleeding," said Current.

"Sorry Current but you were rambling and I thought you had fainted or something. Lot of that going on around here lately." Starbucks, Allie, Tiny MoMo, and mkerin had gone out to search for the four kidnapped sweepers after Puffy was unable to reach the President on the phone.
Luckily, Star always carried her phone and was contacted by Puffy to go out and look for help.

"Please, please listen to me, we have to stop him. Drager has gone totally and completely insane."

"DUH, we know that already," said Allie.

"He made me plot against all of you but I started having second thoughts. When we were knocked out by the Puffy crew with that J.Lo perfume I realized that I was hurting my friends. You guys took me in and treated me like family but Mr. Dave made me do bad things. Really bad things, " cried Current. "I finally had enough and was going to contact Brent and Katie when he went crazy and attacked me and left me on the side of the road."

"Well I guess we'll have to trust you now. We are looking for Carogonza, Toad , Wannawin and Phonenix Mommy. Where are they?" said Allie

"I have no clue. Like I said they knocked us out with Glow perfume and then took off. I have no idea where they are." said Current crying.

"okay, come with us and we will try and find them. In the meantime, mkerin try and call Alimar and Lex2100 and send them to get Puffy and the others out of the Bat Cave closet," said Star.

Then they got back into the car and began searching for the others. In the meantime, back at Brent's Alimar and Lex2100 arrived to free the others from the were closet.

After Drager had thrown Current out of the car and left her for dead. He had been able to hotwire a car and take off toward the VWRC (vast white ring conspiracy) headquarters. "I will not fail the organization," he thought. He drove all night until he saw the big house on the hill.

Back in Sweepsville, while Puffy and the others searched for the missing sweepers, no one noticed as a shadowy figure crept quietly into the building. . .

[Ziggywag]

Toad, Carogonza and the rest of the Puffy club were frantically trying to figure out who it could be, who was the leader of the Vast White Ring conspiracy? What they didn't know was that all hell was about to break loose in Sweepsville. DJ and the soused party people were so loud and off key singing the Oscar Mayer Weiner song that no one heard the banging from the side room where kbsocial had been tied up earlier.

Was it Tommy? He's been missing for a long time now.

What about Brent and Katie Scarlett? Where had they taken off to...was Tiny with them?

Where was kbsocial?

An ominous cloud started to enter the room, coming through the doors and vents, a brownish color that oddly smelled like Coke mixed with Celine dion Perfume...what was that horrid odor, why were DJ, Gomez, Groovyguru, crazywh1telady, Ziggy, ravzie, lutzplay and the rest of the party people getting quieter and quieter...closing their eyes...falling over

What was happening...who is that with the gas mask on that just entered the room?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO It couldn't be....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Scary Snarky toaD]

Meanwhile, back at the new Puffy Headquarters, the four PUFFY officers were trying to get their sleeping arrangements figured out before they bedded down for the night.

"It's getting cold in here," Phoenix Mommy spoke. "Let's light a small fire."

"Wish we had something to eat," Wannawin's stomach grumbled.

"Well, we're not entirely without food," Carogonza reached into her large Puffy Cloak, "I just happen to have some Jiffy Pop Popcorn on hand."

Soon the fire they built near the cave was cracking and Jiffy Pop was popping. When cool enough, the opened up the puffed tin and everyone moaned with pleasure.

"I was SO hungry," Wannawin chomped.

"Wait a minute! I smell something," Toad whispered to the others.

"So do I -- popcorn!" Carogonza popped a handful in her mouth.

"Not popcorn," Toad's nose twisted. "Onions."

"Onions? No way, this isn't onion-flavored popcorn."

"Pickles?" Toad's nose wrinked again, "No, it's sweet relish! I'm sure of it!"

"I can't smell anything but popcorn," Phoenix Mommy concurred.

"OMG!" Wannawin stared at the entrance of the cave. "That's the biggest one I've ever seen!"

"Biggest what you've ever seen?" Carogonza's back was to the opening.

"That is one Hummer of a Wiener!"

They all turned around in horror to realize that the Wiener Man had indeed found them! "You're fulla Baloney!" he laughed ominously in that foot-long kind of way . . .

[Ravzie]

At the Sweepville rec center, the party had indeed lapsed into semi coma from the horrible stench of Celine and stale coke caps. Ziggy crawled toward the window, desperate to get fresh air into the room. Gomez reached for the air conditioner controls. Groovyguru struggled to open the doors.

Ravzie choked out, "I'm just a snippet writer, can't....don't.....understand....long...stories. Too confused, I'm lost..."

But then she saw the nefarious figure in the gas mask skulking along in the deep shadows. "Sweepsguy, is that you? Are you responsible for this??" With that, she passed out cold on the floor.

[carogonza]

Back at the defacto Puffy headquarters, Wiener Man had taken the foursome by surprise.

"My god, look at he size of his," said Wannawin.

"piece. That sure is one huge," said Phoenix Mommy.

"Yes, that sure is one large gun, he's holding," said Toad.

"What do you want, Wiener Man?" cried Carogonza. "Are you involved in the VWRC as well? I should have known you were involved, you were always such a hot dog. Well, you and your co-horts will never win!"

Super duper intelligent Toad had already started moving toward the back of the cave because as always, Toad had a plan. And that plan ws to. . . (uh, Toad your turn to tell us your super duper intelligent plan, tee hee). . .

[Scary Snarky toaD]

"OMG!" Toad shouted, "How could I have missed that?"

"Missed what?" Wannawin asked.

"I must have missed it because it was not quite dusk when we first entered the cave!"

"Missed WHAT?" Carogonza shouted -- while a large red Weiner Man stared them down with a tomato sauce gleam in his eyes!

"The light! See, at the back of the cave!" Toad jumped back into the cave and no one wanting to be left alone with a big red Weiner, they followed her.

"It's a REFRIGERATOR LIGHT! I can't believe I didn't notice that the humming in my ears was a Gigantic Refrigerator! Here, every body help me open it up!"

Carogonza got on Toad's shoulders and all of them frantically pulled at the Refrigerator's handle!

The door popped open and they were covered with heads of lettuce, hotdog buns, cabbage, ketchup bottles, mustard jars and vats of relish!

"Ok, ladies, grab a condiment and fire away!"

"Lettuce alone!" Phoenix Mommy chucked a big Iceberg head at the Wiener man.

"How do you relish this?" Wannawin tossed an open bucket of sweet relish at him!

"Buns away!" Carogonza started pelting him with hotdog buns!

"Wait, none of this is going to work!" Toad decided, "He's used to being smothered with that stuff -- lets chase him with fire! No dog wants to be roasted!"

They ran for their campfire and to find some of the burning sticks to chase him with.

"It's working -- he seems to be retreating," Carogonza noted, but none of them were entirely sure . . .

[carogonza]

Whn Wiener Man saw the Pufyites coming toward him with fire, it brought back bad memories of seeing several relatives being roasted alive and then eaten by these human savages. He knew he could not win against the fire so he slowly retreated out of the cave and took off in the Wiener Mobile. "I will be back and you won't be able to stop me," he yelled as the wiener mobile rode off into the desert.

While turning up the dirt road, Tiny Mo Mo yelled "My God, look at that giant wiener driving off into the desert."

"It's the Wiener Man," said Current. "He is part the triumvirate but why is he here?"

"Let's go investigate." Starbuck continued driving up the road until she saw a light coming from a cave. "Look what is that?"

"OMG, it's the Puffy crew," yelled Allie. "we finally found them."

Sitting in a circle around the campfire, Toad, Wannawin, PhoenixMommy (PM) and Carogonza were enjoying a nice meal. The refrigertor held more than lettuce and condiments. THe girls found some nice cold cuts and bread and were having a feast. They deserved it after scaring away the Wiener Man. "Boy, I wish he would come back," said Toad. "I could use a big hot dog like that about now."

"I agree," said PM.

They heard rustling from the front of the cave. "grab the mustard ladies, I think he's back," yelled Carogonza. But it wasn't him it was the others recusing them.

"Traitor, what is she doing her, " yelled Wannawin. "Get her."

Allie grabbed Wannawin and said that Current has come back from the dark side and is now helping them. "We can't trust her," said Toad. "She was helping the evil Mr. Dave."

"it doesn't matter now, what matters is we get back to Sweepsville and find out what is really going," said Star. SO the girls all sat down next to campfire with sandwiches and beer and got slightly toasted as the night wore on. "tomorrow we go back," said Star.

SO the girls ate, talked and planned their next step. And then promptly feel asleep with visions of big juicy wieners in their heads.

Meanwhile back in Sweespville, Ravzie woke up with a killer headache and when she looked around, everyone was knocked out byhe Celine perfume and now they woke up to find the WebMaster's computer hard drive missing. "It can't be," cried BRent. "we need to get that back or we are in big trouble."

Sweepsguy had accomplished his mission and now headed up to the headquarters. . .

[kimberlypp]

Meanwhile back at City Hall, Charlton Heston is caught in a huge net and screams "Take your damn stinking paws off me" Oops, sorry wrong show!

[carogonza]

Meanwhile back at City Hall, Charlton Heston is caught in a huge net and screams "Take your damn stinking paws off me" Oops, sorry wrong show!

ha ha ha that cracked me up. :rofl3:

[Ravzie]

Heston then screamed, "IT'S PEOPLE, IT'S PEOPLE!!", oops wrong again.

[carogonza]

"LET MY PEOPLE GO," said kimberlypp coming out of the Celine Dion perfume stupor. SHe had been dreaming of CHarleston Heston and was saddened to be awoken by the others running around trying to figure out what the heck had just happened.

The Sweepsvillers decided that they needed to formulate a plan to fight the evil menace invading Sweepsville. This had all begun when . . .

[kimberlypp]

I'm in the story, I'm in the story, yea!

[Ravzie]

...certain evil elements decided to band together to destroy the peaceful, happy brotherhood of Sweepsville. Some of these individuals had been banned for their continued efforts to cause disharmony, others were still around putting in the occasional disparaging words. But like the Outcast team on Survivor, these unhappy folks sought revenge against those who wanted them out.

[carogonza]

And they swore they would succeed to break apart the Sweepsville citizens.

Meanwhile the Puffy crew now banded with Allie, Current, Starbucks Addict and Tiny MoMO. After a restful night sleep, they got up and headed back to Sweepsville unaware that those evil elements were in cahoots with Drager aka Mr. Dave, Sweepsguy and yet unkown third party of the "Axis of Evil."

Back in Sweepsville, Brent and the others formulated a plan to find the Axis of Evil headquarters. "it's got to be Washington, D.C.," said GunnerCLark. "DO we know where RUmmy has been all this time?"

"No it's not them, Gunner," said Tommy. "I think we need to find Mr. Dave," said Vicky. "He's the key to all this."

"But we have no idea where he and CUrrent went off to," said Sweepyhead. "They left hours ago and are long gone by now."

Brent & Groovy Guru had set up a operations system and were trying to find information on the whereablouts of the evil and fiendish Mr. Dave. "Has anyone heard from Star?" said KB Social.

In the meantime, Mr. Dave was driving along the road towards the Evil Headquarters when all of a sudden. . . .

[Scary Snarky toaD]

The Weiner Mobile speeds up next to him and they both turn off down what looks like an abandoned road.

"Well how did it go?" the Mad Drager/Mr. Dave asked the Wiener man.

"Not good," The weiner man took off the top of his weiner exposing BRENT's EVIL TWIN, BRUNT!

"Those sweepers are CRAZY! Particularly that Puffy Bunch! I told you I KNEW you were right to send them all those nasty reps telling them they were Freaks! Sheesh, how my brother can stand them is more than I know!

"Actually, I have a theory about that," Brunt pulled out a pack of smokes called PUFFY'S PUFFERS, with Puffy's face on the front, pulled out one Puffer and started puffing!

"THIS is how I love to enjoy that ugly big white thing! Burning him slowly every day!" Brunt laughed maniacally, while blowing Puffy smoke rings.

"How do you do that?" Mr. Dave took the Puffy Puffer offered him.

"Outwit my brother? Easy! Dumb crooks hit one place at one time. Smart crooks hit MANY places at one time, so everybody starts running around with their heads cut off! We had them running around so disorganized that's how we were able to steal my bro's hard drive! -- Ha ha ha -- you'd think I'd stolen all the Coke Caps!"

"No, I mean, how do you blow Puffy rings?"

"You kidding me?" Brunt (who incidently is EVERY bit as handsome as Brent himself, except for a nefarious glint in his eye). "You, the Mad Drager, one of the Main Principles in the Puffy White Ring Conspiracy, don't know how to form PUFFY WHITE RINGS? Good thing you were only saying that to ME! You'd be laughed out of the next Puffy White Ring Assembly!

"Ok, this is how you do it, draw the smoke in, then flick your tongue through the smoke while you blow out the Puffs!"

Mr. Dave started to get the hang of it, but they looked more like big Puffys than actual rings.

"Man, don't smoke around any of the others, they'll jump all over you if you can't do the rings! -- Ok, enough with that, did you plant Current successfully?"

"Yup, she went back to them with a 'he forced me,' gambit and the fools opened their sweet sweeper's arms to her!" The Mad Drager laughed, draging on his Puffer and blowing more big Puffys to dance around into the air.

"Ever the idiots!" Drager continued. "Now a lot of them will let her hear some of the good stuff, but if anything happens to Current, and she actually lets the liking she has for them turn her REALLY against us, I'm glad we have our Secret Weapon #1, who will be keeping an eye on Current for us as well."

"You mean . . "

"Of course, our second backup 'Double Puffy Agent' is" . . .

[Scary Snarky toaD]

. . . several rounds of ammunition ring out and drown out Brunt's words.

"OMG, let's get outta here!" Brunt and Mr. Dave said to each other in one glance of their eyes, both jumping in their vehicles with little more than rips or holes in their clothing:

Mr Dave -- Still dressed as the MAD DRAGER in Silver Lame (law-may, lol) Spandex head to toe:

Brunt -- Looks like A big Oscar Mayer Wiener with it's top chopped off, who rides in the Wienermobile and is secretly Our Fearsome Leader's (i.e., BRENT's) Evil Twin Brother!

Our two Notorious Plotters and High Officers and well-known Puffy White Ring Conspirators don't want to waste any time looking around so do not see who has an Automatic BB-Machine Gun at them, ripping pieces off their very expensive Notorious Villain clothing! That will eat up a lot of the profits from Nefarious Deeds would be yielding them this week! Crime Lords are smart, you know, they have to start shutting down operations when overhead costs exceed profits -- they got overhead too (and sometimes even pay taxes).

So as the PWRC commanders drive off, we hear laughter issuing out of a nearby forest.

TOMMY -- top cop in Sweepsville and Head of the Sweepsville Police Department, has appeared on the scene. He has decided to get out of his normal partying sweeps clothing and don his Peace Officer Costume, armed with his authomatic BB Guns that are good at ripping away clothing and making people EXTREMELY embarrassed (if not extra cold, like on winter nights!)

"To the Hideout!" the Mad Drager (Mr. Dave) yelled at Brunt as they drove side by side in their vehicles.

"No good," Brunt yelled back. "I was just there and the Puffy Officers had found it and threw all our great Deli items at me when I found them!"

"So THAT's why you smell like pickles and onions!"

Brunt ignored him, noticing a truck heading head on toward the two vehicles, still side by side. The truck ran over into the ditch and Brunt chuckles, then continues his story. "Here I come home after a hard day of being dressed in this dumb Hot Dog Suit, Sweating like a Turk inside and no doubt stinking the place up -- only two eyeholes in the top of my Weiner to look out of -- It sux being a Big Wiener! Wish I'd picked the Silver lame suit instead!"

"Well, you're taller and the Weiner fit you better size-wise."

"Plus, it is not without a certain SEDUCTIVE Element as well, wouldn't you agree?" Brunt wiggled his handsome eyebrows at Mr. Dave in the silver lame spandex suit.


. . . Meanwhile, Tommy decides AGAINST following the dastardly duo. Those guys were out of the Sweepsville City Limits now, anyway, and he wanted to make sure all the GOOD Sweepsville residents were ok and didn't need him to save them at the moment. Tommy turns to go back to the center of Sweepville, and . . .

[tiny]

Obviously we are at a great loss because we don't have the Super Highly Intelligent Toad here to advise us, so we will have to be happy using all of our REGULAR intelligence!"

LMAO!!!
I am ALWAYS saying that!!!
How did I miss this thread for so long?
LMABFAO!

[carogonza]

just as he gets on his motorcycle to leave towards Sweepsville, Sweepsguy (or is this his real name?) is watching from the hill off the side of the road. "Hmm, Tommy, Tommy always sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. You will get yours' copper but now I have bigger fish to fry." Sweepsguy decides to head toward the Puffy White Ring conspiracy headquarters where he will meet up with Drager and Brunt, Brent's evil twin.

Meanwhile at Sweepsville, the Puffy crew and the others have arrived and begin telling their fellow citizens about Drager and the Wiener Man (since they have no idea that the Big Wiener they encountered is really Brunt.)

"well, Brent and I have been able to intercept some transmissions and have found the general vicinity where the Conspiracy HQ might be located," say Groovy. "it's a long shot but we need to try and infiltrate their lair.

"Yes, Puffy has already gone with Katie Scarlet, DJ, Bender, joiwind and tiny to the cabin in the woods where we will set up an interim Headquarters. We will need volunteers to go with Groovy & I and try to reach the Axis of Evil HQ," said Brent. "Any takers?"

"well, I'll go and I know we need to take super intelligent Toad for sure. Phoenix Mommy, Wannawin, you're in right?" said Carogonza.

"yes." they said in unison.

"I want to go because I can help you get in, Mr. Dave gave me valuable information when I was under his evil influence," said Current. Under her breath, Star told Allie, that she didn't trust Current completely.

"Okay, we will get a few more people and then we will go," said Brent. They began packing up the equipment needed into the Sweepsmobile. This was going to be a dangerous and long trip and they needed to be prepared.

"I am getting bad vibes," said Groovy. "I think we are in for the fight of our lives. Mr. dave has been privvy to a lot of information about Sweepsville and he knows stuff."

"I know," said Toad. "But we have no choice, we need to stop their evil plans."

As they were packing, Tommy came riding up. "Where is Brent?" he yelled. "where is he? I am going to get him." Tommy storms into the garage and sees Brent loading up the RV and makes a run toward him. "How could you? How could you? I just saw you with Drager. What the hell is going on."

Brent pulls away. "Tommy, I have been here the whole time. OMG, it can't be." Brent grabs his head and almost falls to the ground. Groovy grabs him and props him up against the SweepsMobile. "I thought he was put away for life. How the hell did he get free? Tommy that wasn't me, you must have seen my evil twin BRUNT!" (interject ta-dum music here)

You could hear the gasp miles away. "evil twin, evil twin?" said Allie.

"YEs. Mr. Dave must have found out and tracked him down. He was in a state hospital in Florida. He was crazy and evil. So we put him away. Now he's back."

So while the sweepsville citizens tried to make sense of the news Tommy had uncovered, Drager and Brunt were closing in on the White Vast Ring Puffy Conspiracy HQ. "By the way, Drager do you think Current will come through?" said Brunt.

"Oh my lovely Queen will come through and if she doesn't then our Secret Double Puffy Agent, will."

"Oh yeah I forgot about . . .

[Current]

ROFLMAO!!!!!! This is too funny!!!


(am I a good or a bad person at this point?? I lost track....)

:)

[LilDevil]

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Scary Snarky toaD]

ROFLMAO!!!!!! This is too funny!!!


(am I a good or a bad person at this point?? I lost track....)

:)

You're set up to be able to swing back or forth whichever way, Current -- (lying to one side, getting caught in the lie, OH, BUT i HAD TO LIE TO PROTECT You, Dearest -- instead!)

Play us back and forth however you want -- appearing ALWAYS to be the "Good" Queen of Sweepsville possibly, but us never REALLY being sure we can trust you . . .)

Any way you want!

But the way I like to have fun seeing it is that you're Really good, but in order to help the good you sometimes have to lie to BOTH sides, your friends and your real enemies, to psychologically make them follow your Hypnotic EYES and true Cleopatrian Wisdom and Beauty! You also happen to have the ability to Hypnotize anyone instantly if you find a reason to do so! This makes both sides ALWAYS want to claim you as DEFINITELY being on your side!

O hail Current of the Everlasting Stream, Queen of Sweepsville! Have mercy on those of us unable to resist your hypnotic eyes!

[carogonza]

ROFLMAO!!!!!! This is too funny!!!


(am I a good or a bad person at this point?? I lost track....)

:)

Toad is right. You are the wild card Current. Are you good or are you bad??? When will we find out the answer??? Stay tuned for more mayhem, murder, chaos, love, laughter here on the Sweeps Opera.

When we last left Sweeps Opera, we were about to find out the identity of the Puffy Double Agent. Take it away somebody . . .

[Current]

Ummmm...if I understand this correctly.....it means I can swing both ways?


Booyah!!! More friends!!!! That's a GOOD thing!

:cheer7:

(can't wait to see how this comes out) :cool2:

[kimberlypp]

Current, your like the girls on Big Brother, joining what ever alliance proves to be the most powerful at the time. LOL.

[carogonza]

Back to our story:

"Oh yeah I forgot about . . ." said Brunt but just as he was about to reveal the Secret Puffy Double Agent, Drager slammed on the brakes. Brunt hit his head and was knocked unconscious for a while. Drager had slammed on the brakes because there was somebody lying in the middle of the road.

Drager checked on Brunt and then got out of the car to investigate. He picked up a stick and poked at the body lying in the middle of the road. It was wrapped in some weird hippie style funky colors. He poked to see if the person was dead or alive. "Hey buddy, what's going on." Then the person gasped as he saw Drager dressed in his silver shiny jumper. "what the hell are you wearing? What kind of freak are you." The person stood up and brished himself off. "Hey buddy, I have some really nice shirts for you if you want to ditch that awful outfit you got on." Just then Drager recognized the figure, it was tyedyeguy. Apparently, since he was a newbie to Sweepsville, he had not recognized Drager.

"hey, what are you doing way out here in the middle of the road?"

"hey dude, there was this wild party in Sweepsville for some guy named JD or Dj or whatever and I slipped out with some really hottie, can't remember her name though and we went for a joy ride and next thing I know, you're poking me with a stick. What kind of sicko are you?"

"I am not a sicko,"

"well, you're something in that weird outfit and weird car and then you go around poking people with sticks. That's weird. Hey, can I catch a ride? That babe left me out here in the middle of nowhere and I need to get back to Sweepsville."

"no problem, get in," said Drager. All the time he was thinking that he could use this guy to bargain with the nitwits back at Sweepsville, if things got to that point.

In the meantime, Brunt was coming too. "hey, Mr. Dave, why are you dressed like that and what are you doing here tyedyeguy?"

"brent, is that you?" said tyedyeguy.

"yeah, what's up. Hey Mr. Dave, are we going back to Sweepsville. I can't wait to get back there. I need to do some upgrading on the site and hey wasn't there a party for D.J. tonight?"

Drager and tyedyeguy looked at each other both confused. "Mr. Dave, I knew I knew you from somewhere. And Brent, the party was 3 days ago. Are you okay?"

"He's fine. But he's not Brent he's Brunt, Brent's evi. . , Brent's twin bother."

"Uh no, I'm Brent. Brunt is in a mental hospital somewhere far far away."

"No, you're Brunt. Remember, evil, bad, hate Brent, hate sweeping, take over the world and be my second in command when I rule the world and become the king of the world, Brunt."

"Um, I better be leaving now, you guys seem to be needing your space," said tyedyeguy as he reached for the door.

"No, you are not leaving, you are my hostage now and I will kill you if I have to. SO sit back and enjoy the ride" Drager laughs evily. "ANd as for you Brunt, you better regain your memory back or you're dead too."

They take off. "My god, if I knew taking over the world was such a hassle I might have thought twice about it," said Drager as he drove towards the HQ.

Meanwhile back at the Puffy cabin. . . .

[Scary Snarky toaD]

+++++++ Flashback -- last episode:

"Well, Brent and I have been able to intercept some transmissions and have found the general vicinity where the Conspiracy HQ might be located," say Groovy. "it's a long shot but we need to try and infiltrate their lair.

"Yes, Puffy has already gone with Katie Scarlet, DJ, Bender, joiwind and tiny to the cabin in the woods where we will set up an interim Headquarters. We will need volunteers to go with Groovy & I and try to reach the Axis of Evil HQ," said Brent. "Any takers?"

"well, I'll go and I know we need to take super intelligent Toad for sure. Phoenix Mommy, Wannawin, you're in right?" said Carogonza.

"yes." they said in unison.

"I want to go because I can help you get in, Mr. Dave gave me valuable information when I was under his evil influence," said Current. Under her breath, Star told Allie, that she didn't trust Current completely.

+++++++

Back to the present, Dear Listeners, we peek in at the Puffy Headquarters CABIN in the woods (The White Ring Conspiracy's HQ is the Cave in the woods, remember?)

So meanwhile, back at the Puffy Cabin, Katie Scarlet wipes DJ's brow. Through his Well-Stewed eyes, he sees two pictures of the dark-haired, Mysterious but Dangerous Second Titularl Head of OS. DJ Killa thinks he has seen no lovelier woman on the face of the planet than Katie, and he is certain he is in love . . .

"I've never seen a more beautiful Second Titular Head in my life," he breathes his beer-sodden breath at her.

"What? Are you nuts?" Katie scolds him. "I know it's your Birthday, but have some respect!"

"Whatever you say, my beautiful . . ."

At that moment Tommy speeds in on the Segway -- Crazywhitewoman still on his shoulders.

"Ripped some of their clothes off," Tommy chuckled. "They'll be sewing all night now to get back to snuff!"

As the Puffy Cabin HQ had just recently been swept out and set up that afternoon, all there was for food preparation was a Pizza Oven Katie had won from Pizza Hut once.

"I make the best pizza," Tiny boasted -- anyone want some?"

*********************************

At the White Ring Cave HQ -- Brunt (who thinks he's really Brent), Drager and finally make it back.

"Man, they really messed up this place," Drager shook his head at the relish and condiments all over the floor under their Gigantic Refrigerator. "Only one thing is worse than seeing this!"

"What's that?" the hostage Tyedyegye asks?

"The fact that we're going to have to be sewing all night to repair these costumes! And since Brunt's "not himself" at the moment, I'm going to have to set up the Singer myself! Man, I hate seamstress work!"

"Oh, you have a REAL SINGER MACHINE?" Tyedyeguy almost drooled.

Drager frowns at him, "Hmm, you any good at sewing?" Drager suddenly knows who will be footpedaling their Singer Machine that night!

"This way, Tye," Drager puts his arm around him, "And as the laundry's been piling up lately, would appreciate your helping us out with that -- then we'll let you repair things on the Singer as long as you want!"

Tye's eye's are like swirls of mad water -- the chance to sit and run a real SINGER!

Meanwhile, the REAL Brent, Groovy and the Puffy Officers Carogonza, Wannawin, Phoenix Mommy, and the Super Intelligent Toad, accompanied by Tommy with CrazyWhiteWoman, make their way to the cave. Since the Officers had been there before and correctly deduced only the White Ring Conspiracy had their headquarters there (how many other Conspiracies kept Giant Refrigerators in their HQ's? NONE!

They are halfway there when a coconut falls from one of Sweepsville's tripical palms above them and hits Brent on the head!

OMG! Carogonza runs to give Brent mouth-to-mouth -- and as he revives, their eyes meet.

But as Brent has to always keep OS the Uppermost Concern in his life, he knew no mere woman could take the place of OS, his Fancy Computer System and his Takamine! Any woman ever to marry him would have to realize that she must be satisfied to be FOURTH in line after his MAIN loves.

"Are you OK, Brent? Please, talk to me!" The Puffy Prez begged.

"Hey, Chickadee -- give it up -- my name is BRUNT! Yuck! Don't call me my brother's name again! Brunt! Brunt!

"And why were you kissing me? No one kisses the handsome Brunt without the Handsome Brunt kissing them first!!

"So what do you have to say for yourself, Girliecue? Come on, chick, what's up?"

Carogonza's eyes opened wide -- she didn't know what to say, but . . .

[carogonza]

then Brunt kissed her again and she swooned. Remembering that Brent said he was Brunt, almost made her stop making out with him but she kept it up until Tommy had to pull them apart. "Hey knock it off, Prez. Stop taking advantage," said Tommy.

"Hey what's your problem?" said Brent who now thinks he's Brunt, "we were busy here." At this point Carogonza got up and tried to recover from the whole kissing thing. "why do you keep saying you're BRunt?" she asked. "You're Brent, you know, webmaster, OS leader, really good kisser."

"Look, I don't know what your problem is but I am Brunt not BRent. Brent is my twin." Gasps were heard all around. "His twin," yelled Wannawin.

"Yeah, his twin and I hate him. SO stop calling me Brent. WHere the hell am I?"

"Look laddie, you are at Drager's cave because we are trying to stop Drager and the rest of the evil ones from taking over Sweepsville and the world. Do you remember any of this?"

"Nope. I have no idea what you're taking about."

"Okay, let's try and not panic. If Brent thinks he's Brunt then how do we get him to think he's Brent again," said Wannawin.

"I have an idea," said CrazyWHite woman. "Let's just knock him over the head again. Easy Peasy."

"We can't just hit him, he's Brent," said Super Intelligent Toad. "look caro, you stay here with Brent, Brunt whoever. Wait, better yet, PhoenixMommy you better stay because I don't know if I can trust the Prez to keep her hands off Brent."

"Hey, he kissed me first," protested Carogonza

"Look, we need to get into this cave and see what's going on. PM, Toad is right, you stay with Brent and we will look inside, " said Groovy.

"I'll go first," said Tommy gallantly. So with CrazyWhiteWoman, Super Intelligent Toad, Groovy, Carogonza, Wannawin in tow, Tommy entered the cave. The only light was that really cool Tv/lantern/radio combo thingy from COkeMusic.

__________________________________________

Meanwhile inside the cave, tyedyeguy was sewing away at the costumes Tommy managed to rip off Drager and the real Brunt, who now thought he was BRent.

"Look, Mr Dave, I really should be getting back to Sweepsvilee," said Brunt who thought he was Brent now. "My main frame is probably lonely and I need to do some updates and stuff, so what do you say we get out of here?"

"No, my dear Brunt, until you remember you are Brunt and not that Brent, we stay."

"well you know what Mr. Dave, I am leaving this cave and going back to Sweepsville. Just try and stop me," said Brent as he turned toward the entrance. "I hate to do this, okay no I don't," said Drager and he pulled out a gun. "You are not going anywhere."

"hey, what is your problem," said tye. "put that gun down."

"I'll kill you and then Brunt if I have to. I have a mission to accomplish here. You know, world domination and I can't put up with such shenanigans. SO sit down and sew before I put a bullet through your head."

"Mr. Dave, there is no need for violence," said Brunt who now thinks he is BRent.

"Yes, there is. Now get over here so I can tie you up."

At that very moment, they heard a large gasp as the Puffy gang (not unlike the Scooby gang) saw Drager aka Mr. Dave tying Brent to a chair.

"It can't be. He's out there. OMG what's going on," shouted Crazy WHite Woman.

"Come on let's get them," yelled Tommy. But as they entered the area where Drager was tying up Brunt/Brent, a large explosion took place in the back of the cave. Everyone feel to the floor, would there be survivors?. . . .

[DrJohn]

Very funny!!

[Scary Snarky toaD]

“OMG, what could have happened?” CrazyWhiteLady screamed.

“Hush, everyone and hide around those trees,” Toad calmed the crowd, who always were extremely responsive to that croaking voice. Like chalk on a chalkboard they cringed in pain. “I’m going in, everyone, you stay here!”

“How can you see through all that smoke -- it‘s completely hidden the cave!” the worried Ziggywag asked.

“My eyes are used to lots of GAS, “ the humble Toad admitted, “Swamps are known for lots of gas, you know!” The brave Toad laughed and bounded into the thick smoke.

“That explains the source of your brilliant commentaries!” Brent (who thought he was Brunt, didn’t mind being Blunt -- that's the name of the third of the triplet actually, but we’ll get to him later.)

A tear poised on Yadgirl's cheek. "She is so brave!"

"Running into the face of danger to save all of us," Allie clasped her hands together!

Ziggywag nodded. "I'm so proud to stand shoulder to shoulder as a Puffy Officer next to the Incredible Toad."

"Oh good grief!" Katie Scarlett hissed. "She's probably a double agent too, just like Current!"

***************************************

Thus it was that Toad's bugged out eyes took in several things at once before the Puffy Alliance was able to:

1. Brent had a twin, and he was sitting bound and gagged in a chair before her froggy feet;
2. The Mad Drager (aka Mr. Dave) was not dressed in his silver-lame suit any longer;
3. The Tyedyeguy was pedaling up a storm on that old Singer Sewing maching;
4. Someone had been deepfrying a Turkey and it had blown up, causing the explosion; and last but not least,
5. The Mad Drager happened to look EXACTLY like Michael Jackson, pixie nose and all!

"That has to be another costume, right, Drager, you demonic killer of Sweephearts! No one could do that bad a job of plastic surgery on TWO people, surely! Can you be the REAL Michael?"

Suddenly Drager's voice became a boy soprano. "I am not only Michael Jackson, I am the Reincarnated Queen of Egypt -- Cleopatra -- and I don't care who knows it!

"I didn't pay the blamed embalmers enough and Osiris plays a trick like this on me! Well for that reason and also the fact I wouldn't do EVERYthing he wanted but damn that snake to have put my soul into little Ethiopian MALE body.

"I took it for GRANTED he'd realize when I asked to be Most Well Known Star of the Planet in the 21st Century that he'd at LEAST let me be a woman. The NERVE of that God! I've been working all my life to correct the error and get back my real self, but Dang it takes the bucks to do it right, and these doctors in the 21st Century aren't much better than the ancient embalmers!

"It's horrible because NO ONE knows I'm a voluptuous woman hidden in a man's body!"

"Ok, I'm not your shrink," the patient Toad tells "Michael Drager," and regardless of whether you can do a good Moonwalk I HAVE TO KNOW -- why have you tied up Brilliant Brent's Bad Brother Brunt?"

"Because Brilliant Brent's Bad Brother Brunt Believes he's Brilliant Brent."

"Odd. Because Bad Brunt's Brother Brilliant Brent Believes he's Bad Brunt, as well."

"Hmm," Michael dragger massaged the pubic hairs newly replanted on his chin. "Want to trade?"

"Hey, that might be a great idea, let's do that. Better than hitting them both in the head again and risking a concussion."

"Good Thinking," Michael Drager agreed.

"Thank's for rescuing me," Bad Brunt told the Toad as she led him out to the rest of the Puffy Gang.

"There are TWO Brents?" Johncatoe asked.

"Yeah, we got the wrong model. I'll take this one back." So Brilliant Brent, still thinking he was Bad Brunt got returned to Michael Drager as long as he was of some use to them in the Brunt mode.

[clbrowni]

A small group of suits were sitting down to a meeting led by Fox Entertainment president Gail Berman. The commotion made by such a small group would put a gaggle of geese to shame. "I stand by what I said; I really think we should pick up this Opera. I know some of you think that it's a has-been all washed up, out of people's minds, but I think it's time for a renaissance.

Carson takes a very long look around, begins to sweat then sprints toward the door, but...

THe Fox people were having a tough time casting the new Sweeps Opera and were getting input from the Sweepers themselves.

"Well, I would get Sandra Bullock to play me," said carogonza.

SO they set about to choose who they would want to play them. "Toad, who would play you?" she asked.

Just for fun thought I'd resurrect this old "story line" a lot of us had some fun with quite a while ago.

Thought some of the "newbs" would get a kick out of this. Pretty cornball stuff!
