Subject: Help Arwen by writing the first line of her Modern Major General parody

Written By: Stuart McArthur on 10/05/05 at 10:32 pm



Got a feeling the elf's eyes are rolling here (and throw in a pout too)

but in a comment on Phil's M M-G parody today, Tim Mayfield came up with some ideas for Arwen's first line, if she were to do one herself, and I thought what a great idea for a comp

Arwen probably has the most distinguishable style on amiright, so here's your chance to pay tribute to it...

Oh, for HELL'S sake...

Ahem...

I am the fav'rite model for the guys who like drinks on their clothes
You've got it wrong, I rarely spill upon them, but I'll break their nose...

***

I have a very modest way of tripping on things not around
I'm far from modest, I'm the proudest clumsy elf upon the ground

***

I spilt my drink, my date slipped over, now I think he's comatose
I hate to leave him lying there, but truth be told, he's kind of gross

***

It's Likely That I'll Stumble As My Balance Is Ephemeral
But I'll keep smiling through the pain with help from my friend, Demerol

***

I am the rockin' founder of the one-and-only Super Squad
A fearless leader who kicks ass with my hotter than average bod

***

A man whose very bod I love is Aragorn V. Mortenson
I'd happily give birth to his first daughter or his second son

***

My anti-hairy god-of-love is bald 'n' brawny Vin Diesel
He is a work of art that I'd proudly display on an easel

***

I really (pouting) miss Duncan - my fav'rite Scottish elephant
I'd like to do him justice with a verse, but it seems that I can't

So, there you have it...a bunch of second lines...

Thanks, fellas... ;)

You've GOT to do this now. We all know you can.....work through the fear!
My vote for the best two first lines so far are numbers 3 & 4
Can't wait for the finished result...go for it, babe!

Maybe having the first 2 lines will help:

I am a hairy model who must often shave her genitals
I've tried that Nair in bottles, though it softens, hair's still plentiful

(Shoot, I've never done this OS either. Why am I giving advice?)

It's not a matter of being afraid, Mister...

It's one thing to write one line...(well, eight versions of one line)...but the whole OS would be something quite different...

Oh wait...make that nine versions...THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!! :) :) :)

Um...DAMMMIT.


Nope...make that 8 versions. :-[ :-\\ >:(

I am a klutzy sexy elf, thank God for Major Medical
I can't have grace yet still be me -- the two are antithetical
I fall, I slip, I crash, I trip -- my klutziness takes many forms
I've sliced my thumb and bruised my bum -- each day some damage is the norm
My handbag is a first-aid kit, I own ten custom body-casts
I've always been a fragile thing -- it's clear I wasn't built to last
My hair is fair, my skin is too (at least when it's not black and blue)
I am a klutzy sexy elf, thank God for Major Medical!

Arwen, I have a few other ideas for Major-General parodies but they do not apply to one about you.

Since you know TOS just try finding end-line rhymes for the moment that are 3 syllables and have the right stresses, sure you can build up to the final words.

Oh, a few rhyme couplets you could use are affable/laughable, precarious/hilarious,  fabulous/fabulous (since it is about you we need to stress fabulous.  ;) )and um..hell, I don't know, I ran out of rhymes on my last one.

I am a klutzy sexy elf, now ev'ryone can sing along
I know I'm cute and blonde to boot, so 'ha ha' I don't need this song
I'm not afraid of this parade of lyrics, I'm just listening
'Cause I know if I sit here long enough you'll all just write the thing
Be careful though, or you will go the way of Fred from Tech Support
He shamelessly would hit on me and now we have a date in court
So come drop in or tumble by or slip and fall at Arwen-fest
And if you should forget just let me set you straight, I am the best

I hope this makes up for me being late to Arwen-fest. Where can I get my 'Elves do it in the Trees' T-shirt?

EDIT: I guess a clever...-er T-shirt would be 'Elves do it in the Trees. Klutzy Elves do it under them.'

Eccellente!! Realmente sapete rendermi il sorriso, 2nz...

The best line, in my opinion...(the only one that matters, right?)...was:

'Cause I know if I sit here long enough you'll all just write the thing


Because...yeah...you pretty much read my mind... :)

I also loved the Fred stuff...that guy...is ALWAYS on my last nerve...

Thanks for joining in...I never consider you to be late... :)

I hope that you're not throwing that grumpy face at me, Mr. Mayfield...I have already made it clear that the song is undoable for me.

But I agree that it's FABulous...perhaps we should both yell at Tony...
