The 2010 Woodhall 48hr Picnic and Elven Disco. All welcome

Tinuviel
Actually GB,
PANIC! AT THE DISCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(they're an American alternative band. Their second album is very beatles like )
And I'll have some of the wine from the cellars in Mirkwood. They're almost as old as I am!!!!!

pettytyrant101
Take it easy on the wine people! It's not like I've got a tab at Thranduils you know. Drink the buckie, there's plenty of it left- but you might need a spoon, and possibly a knife. I'm going to need a bottomless sporran for all this.

There were seed cakes Odo, and all sorts of other delights including lemon drizzle cake, but what wasn't flattened and trampled into the ground in the chaos has been eaten by Noom's camels, so blame him.

Oh Tin, could you ask the band if they know either, "Thorin's silver hammer", or "Mushroom Fields (Forever)", oh and if any dwarfs show up tell them to play "You can't buy me gold", they love that one.

Odo Banks
Come to think of it I haven't heard, "Drum Together", "Lady Tinuviel", "I want Mead", or "Somering" or "She came in thru the Hobbit Cellar" for simply ages!!! Have you got it on vinylopir, Mr Tyrant? ... and "Here comes the One" (doo-doo doo-doo)... Brilliant!

pettytyrant101
Sorry Odo, I don't have any vinylopir. However in case the band don't know the songs I do have a Hobbitophone. Basically its a big box with four hobbits who are good at harmonies inside, some mechanical bits and a big horn sticking out the top.
Oh and there's a handle on the side you'll have to crank every so often....it drives the whips.

Gandalfs Beard
Nifty, I have a Magical Device from the future called a CD player (or is it an Ipod now? CD players are almost as obsolete as vinyl :? ). No matter, I'll plug it into the Elven Sound-System and get a Dance-Mix going. Everyone feel free to contribute some danceable song ideas.

Odo Banks
Modern music? Pooo.... May as well run your fingers down a blackboard!!!!

Wise Odo
Now, Primadonna...I must sit down... I haven't danced this much in a long time... No, no, Primmy off you go! Have a good time...never mind me - you know this modern music is more your bag than mine...

(((CD Player??? GB and his newfangled concepts!!! I prefer Mr Tyrant's Hobbits-in-a-box - far more respectable, even if somehwhat crueler... I wonder if he got it from the goblins...great Hobbit-in-a-box makers, though they do have an evil bent toward machinary and explosives and modern music....Oh well... I might just have a snooze here... Primmy will no doubt want to have a bit of gadabout when we get home.....must........preserve............my..................energyyyyy-zeeeeee...........................)))

Noom Chevaline
I would bring Enya The Celts album.

Mirabella Banks
Ooh I do like Enya, Noom!

Will you look at that Petty! He dances Iike a true Scothobbit, don't you think? His wildly primitive exuberance and vulgar dance style is quite captivating - but does he really need to swirl his kilt so.... I just can't look anymore... Oh my Goodness me!!!! I shouldn't look... I really shouldn't....

Gandalfs Beard
I was going to mention Enya myself. I think I'll bring Loreena McKennit and Ultravox.

GB

Odo Banks
Ultravox!! ... My goodness... what's Mr Tyrant doing now...? It doesn't seem natural.....

Mirabella Banks
Oh Noom... we really shouldn't be watching... Oh dear, surely Petty.... surely it.... can't be real... can it??? :? Oh GB - will you do something about Petty!!!

Wise Odo
...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...fine bit of lemon drizzle cake that, ol' Petty.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... odd place to keep it though.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz i wish someone would turn that godawful racket down.........call it music, do they?..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

pettytyrant101
Only safe place to keep cake Odo, what with all the camels. Still the noises the camels make are better than the ones coming out of that new fangled magic music thing GB brought!
Anyone got earplugs?

If your going to play Enya Noom may as well get Clannad in there too. No point having the soloist when you can have the band.

May I ask Mirabella why you are staring at me so? What? I have got something on my sporran? You're making me nervous here!

Odo Banks
Mirabella! Come over here NOW. I don't care if Mr Tyrant wants to shopw you his sporran... it's just not right! Have you lost all touch with respectability???

Mr Tyrant, in future, if you MUST dance like a Scothobbit, at least lay a hand on your hem while you're doing so. Mirabella, though a fine Sheriff, is still quite impressionable...

Mirabella! I said come here... I really don't know what your mother and father would say... you gawking like that....! In fact I'm glad Fogo and Prudy aren't here! Hell's bells, girl!

Mirabella Banks
Oh Uncle Odo! I was just looking at his lemon drizzle cake... it seemed to defy gravity....

pettytyrant101
I think given the extent of the Odo clan that we're all glad Fogo and Prudy aren't here! I will not have my picnic turn into a Banks family gathering.

And you can give that lemon drizzle cake back too Mirabella, and you a Sherriff too. Ask next time before you just slip a bit out from under my kilt. Really, I thought your family were respectable Odo, but with your nieces reaction to Noom and now this I am beginning to wonder. Do try and keep them in line or I will be forced to send for Wise Odo, and you know how he hates having to come to vulgar gatherings like this with the common folk.

Mirabella Banks
Well, if that's how you feel, Petty! What a thrifty Scothobbit you are... What! You can't even share your lemon drizzle cake! Here - take it back. It was soggy and much too salty anyway!

As for Fogy and Prudy - they would never attend such a Vulgar Picnic as this anyway! So there!

Btw Uncle Wise is sleeping under that tree... Are you blind as well as thrifty!?!?

pettytyrant101
Thrifty! I'm paying for an infinite band, and infinite lemon drizzle cake! What more do people want? This is going to burst my sporran.

As to Wise Odo, must have missed him among the throng. Just as well he's sleeping mind he would not be pleased I deem if he were awake with young Mirabella being disrespectful to the contents of my kilt! At least I can rely on him for some decency and sense.

Wise Odo
... whaaat...?.... huh?..... zzzz.... decency and sense....zzzzz.. yes..... that's right..... decency.....zzzzzzz........sense.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

Gandalfs Beard
What?...That...Wise Odo...buckie? No, that was the Gaffer's Moonshine...he'll be out for days now.

Here, give this to the DJ. It's The Chieftains and The Pogues.

GB

Noom Chevaline
gaffers Noom shine, lol

Tinuviel
Oh dear! somethings not right! Why are there 5 Mirabel-*Hicup*las? *Hicup* WHOOOOOO!!!!! I can't see my feet!!!! YAA!!!!!!!! This is fun!!!!!!

pettytyrant101
O dear! I knew I should have cleared those bottles away. You'll suffer in the morning Tin- which is just over there behind those barrels next to the dusk.

Not quite sure what effect Buckie will have on an immortal, but should be worth waiting around for to find out! She's only used to that Elvish wine you know, in Scotsdale we give that to children. Still your only at the 5 Mirabella's and no feet stage, that's early days for buckie- if she starts spinning on the spot (or leaves the ground) screaming she's the most powerful and beautiful immortal in the universe and her eyes start to glow red....run. Especially if she's dancing to the Pogues at the time.
Now where did I put my palantir, might be best to to call in Beren again. Ah here we go, set up facing west, right.

"Hi, Earendil? The Tyrant here, I'm trying to get hold of Beren but theres noone answering his palantir. He's doing what? Why? Oh, and he said that did he? To Manwe, that would have been..intresting. Um, he didn't happen to have taken any small bottles of Scotsdale made drink home with him did he? I see. No, I think it'd be best if I just left him alone for now, and probabyl so should the rest of the Undying Lands, at least until he's stopped spinning and demanding peanuts on pain of death. Yeah, no tell him Tin's fine, taking good care of her. Yeah. Um, think I'd better go now, just make sure she's alright. Em, Berens not planning on dropping back in here is he? Right, yes, I'll definetly just be off to check on Tin. Better safe than chopped into little bits and spread about the land I always say."

Oh bugger.

Gandalfs Beard
Good Lord! What's IN that Buckie Petty :? ? If an ELF can't hold their booze... Makes the Gaffer's Moonshine look like Budweiser . Which doesn't account for why Odo the Oracle couldn't handle THAT. I thought most Middle Earthers were made of sterner stuff . Good thing I'm a Hobbit Wizard moonlighting as a Beard :mrgreen: .

Ah well, I'll have a Hostess escort you and Tinuviel to the Sleep-it-off tent. And don't worry about Tinuviel's honour being imposed upon Petty. The Tent is well guarded by the Toughest Old Biddies outside of Blackpool.
