HOW TO SPEAK SHOEBOX Written by ShoEboX
Narrator: Language tape #6 - A beginner's introductory primer to talking like Shoebox of Worm Quartet. (intro music) Narrator: The basis of Shoebox's language, or "Hyper-Nonbulgarian SuperHyperUltraWonderspeak", is centered around the concept of incessant greeting. For example, when meeting someone for the first time, the formal greeting is used. *bing!* Shoebox: Hi! Narrator: Now you try it. *bing!* Listener 1: (apathetically): Um...hi. Narrator: No no, I'm afraid that's very bad. You'll have to be shot. (KA-BLAM!) Listener 1: Aaaaagghh!! (dies) Narrator: Would anyone else like to try? *bing!* Listener 2: (perfectly) Um...Hi! Narrator: Yes, very good! Here, have a squid. Listener 2: All right! This is going straight up my nose! Narrator: Now then. When greeting a friend whom one has not seen in many years, the less formal familiar form of the greeting is used. *bing!* Shoebox: Hi! Narrator: Now you try it. *bing!* Listener 2: Hi! Narrator: Very good! But not quite good enough to be deserving of additional squid. Listener 2: Son of a... Narrator: When greeting a friend whom one has not seen in several days, the formally familiar masculine form of the greeting is used. *bing!* Shoebox: Hi! Narrator: Now you try it. *bing!* Listener 2: Am I gonna get a squid this time? Narrator: No, you're going to get shot. (Ka-BLAM!) Listener 2: Aaaggh! (dies) Narrator: Would anyone else like to try? Listener 3: Hi! Narrator: Much better. But we're all out of squid at the moment. For more squid, why not visit your local library? Listener 3: Awesome! Narrator: Now, when greeting a friend whom one has not seen in several minutes, or in as few as possibly seventeen seconds, the quasi-familiar formally feminine inversely semi-passive form should be used. *bing!* Shoebox: Hi! Narrator: Now you try it. *bing!* Listener 3: Hi! Narrator: f***ing excellent. Remember that the proper accentuation of the syllables is absolutely vital in order for your words to be correctly interpreted by a native Shoebox speaker, such as Shoebox. Mispronunciation can have disastrous consequences, as illustrated in the following scene at a stapler enthusiast convention: *bing!* (talking and stapling in background, maybe?) Shoebox: Hi! Peon (apathetically): Hi. Shoebox: Really? Well, okay, I've got a blender right here! Pull down your pants! *whirring and screaming* Narrator: In addition, proper grammar when speaking Shoebox is vital. All punctuation marks must be announced, as obnoxiously as possible, using the term "dammit." Consider the following scene at Eddie's Redundant Food Hut: *bing* (talking in background, maybe?) Shoebox: I'd like a crouton sandwich and some mashed potatoes with tater tots, dammit! Narrator: Now you try! Listener 3: Eddie's Redundant Food Hut? Narrator: Yes! You've never been? They have a marvelous beefburger on whole meat bread with beef, exquisite tomatoes in ketchup, fantastic cream of milk soup, and a great pita in a pita in a pita in a pita in a pita. Listener 3: I don't remember what I was supposed to say now. Narrator: Oh. Well then I suppose it wouldn't be fair to... (KA-BLAM!) Listener 3: Aaaggh! (dies) Narrator: Whoops, sorry about that, I thought I saw a puppy. Anyway, you should now be speaking pigeon-Shoebox. Be sure to pick up language tape #7, advanced Shoebox speak, when we will learn how to combine the skills we've learned on this tape... *bing!* Shoebox: Hi, dammit! Narrator: And language tape #8, when we will discuss the correct way to obnoxiously mention nipples at least twice in every sentence. *bing!* Shoebox: Hi! My nipples are all nippled with nipply nippleness, dammit! Narrator: And don't forget to pick up language tape #9, How to speak fluent Luke Ski in emergency situations *bing!* Luke: AAAGGHH!! HELP!! I'm on fire!! By the way, my CDs are for sale at my merch table in the back for only $15! Don't forget to sign up for on e-mailing list at lukeski.com! AAAAAAAGGHHHHHHHH IT BURNS!!!! (Gilbert:) IS IT GOOD? NO!! (Luke:) AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!...(fade) (MarlinsGirl) |
