Back in September, I made this delightful thread ( wcrpforums.com/thread/9938/field-trip ) about a school field trip gone horribly wrong.
I finally found the little booklet they gave us when we got there. It contains Teenage Mutant Ninja Birdcatchers, Not-Mozart, Strange Bat Lady, whoever the heck "Pagageno" is, and the mysterious cretin only known as "Crosswordiggety":
... And we're doomed already. Look at that "handwritten" font. What kind of nerd writes like that? Also note the guy's ridiculous-looking face and those Groucho Marx glasses.
A closeup on the cover. Okay, let's go through every one of these. Why do we need a letter from the editor? Are they calling to tell us they omitted the one originally racist character or that it was originally Freemasonry propaganda or that the production sucks or what? No, it's advertising itself! In itself! Also, apparently it takes four steps to get ready for an opera? What is this!?! I just get the tickets and find something decent to wear! Then you've got the watered-down version of the plot and a SuperCheesy title about what is basically talking. Then you've got what is obviously lies, more lies, basically lies all the way through, people not being able to know the difference between singing and talking, and then an article about the Enlightenment and crud. Logic.
A love story? You aren't gonna mention the Freemasonry or the funny bits? It's just a LOVE STORY? What next, Don Giovanni is a romantic comedy? Also note that they misspelled Papageno as "Pagageno". That's not even close, idiots.
And, in the background, sits "CRAZY REVENGE".
not these puns again, Lady #2. You know better.
Wow, I didn't know this opera was performed by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! What a surprise!
Mozart says he doesn't know if he's a genius. Have you ever known of Mozart's personality? He was anything BUT quiet and humble! Mozart was a manchild who played with toy soldiers and pretended to be a cat in his spare time! He'd blend right into the WCRF!... Can they get anything right?
Dang, it looks like voice types are the worst medieval torture out there! I wouldn't want to be squashed to a pulp or stretched out like that one girl from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! People those days where downright cruel.
Don't you hate it when your mom suddenly turns into a strange bat-butterfly thing that looks painfully fake?... No?... Well, then.
The final words of the pamphlet. What do they mean? Why are they here? Why were they created?... We'll never know, I guess. I never knew since the day I got this piece of crap. Now let's watch a totally radical story of Freemasonry and extreme birdcatching, dude!
