Life of Lately...and Military Intellegence!

I'm starting to get overdue for the next post... I just haven't really had much time lately though. lol. But lets just say my week has been WAY awesome :) And everything I posted about on the last post has all been cleared up and all's good. I'm happy. Oh, and my brother, David, and I are doing a skit in the homeschool talent show next month, so below is the script that I wrote (at 5am yesterday!), which we will perform... Lemme know what you think! The three of us loved it :-) (and it may look long on a blog post, but it actually takes like all of 2-3 minutes to read. I timed it when I test performed it yesterday. lol


Narrator= David
Soldier= Me
General= Nathaniel

Narrator: I wonder about military stuff sometimes. Apparently the walkie-talkie was a military invention. Then I come to wonder; "how the heck did it end up with a name like that?". I mean, military stuff always has these cool tough sounding names... Tomahawk Missle! Apache Helicopter! Ak47! ...Walkie talkie?

General (walks over to a table with several devices lying out on it): Well, what do ya have there, Soldier?

Soldier: It's a new telecommunications unit that enables the troops to speak effectively in the field.

General: What's it called?

Soldier: Walkie-talkie!

General: Huh?

Soldier: Look, I'm walkie and I'm talkie! (marches around while speaking)

General: Huh well I suppose you are...

Soldier: I'm walkie and talkie General, can YOU walkie and talkie??

General: *cough* Erm, sure. So, what's this new explosive device?

Soldier: The Whammie-Cablamie!

General: And this? (holds up gun)

Soldier: This is the Rootie-Tootie-Aim-N-Shootie!

General: I see....

Narrator: Hey, can YOU think of a better reason? (pauses) Don't answer that. But really, I guess I could see how all the tough guys overlooked a name like that. I mean seriously, those guys are in some INTENSE training! It's not easy...all those drills... Not to mention having to learn all these new terms and such.

General: Alright soldier! ABOUT FACE!

Soldier: (pulls out a mirror) Uh...

General: What the heck are you DOING soldier!? I said about face!

Soldier: Well what about my face? I don't see anything wrong with it.

General: I'm not talking about your face! ABOUT FACE!!!

Soldier: There you go again talking about my face. Seriously dude. So what, do I have a zit or something?

General: I've had ENOUGH of this, Soldier!! ABOUT FACE AND I MEAN IT!

Soldier: Well whatever it is about my face, would you PUH-LEASE stop yelling about it?!

Genearl: *Facepalm* ARGH. Ok. Forget it.

Soldier: See, I told you there was nothing wrong with my face.

General: (takes deep breath, speaks slowly) Just turn, stand up strait, and face in THAT direction (points towards audience).

Soldier: SIR, YES SIR! (turns and stands strait & salutes the audience)

Narrator: Yeah...like I said, it can't be easy. Heck, they don't even call you by your own name. But seriously folks, pray for our military. Uh, and not cause they're all like her (points at soldier) *lowers voice* She's not like mosta them; trust me. She's just a few bullets short of a fully loaded gun if you catch my drift.

General: HEY YOU! (runs toward Narrator, dragging soldier along by the wrist)

Narrator: Huh?

General: You and all the rest of us have all of 30 seconds to vacate this stage!

Narrator: Vacation already?

General: NO!

Narrator: Then why leave?

General: Gomer Pyle here just accidentally innitiated the detonation sequence of the Whammie-Cablamie!

Soldier: SHE'S GONNA BLOW!!

General: So lets MOVE, MOVE, MOVE, MOVE people!

Narrator: Oh! Well in that case...I'm outa here! G'night everybody!

(Explosion sound effect plays as cast runs off stage)

(After explosion, cast comes back, bows, and moves their props back stage)
