The big old fellow bursts into the MessHall, flings open the shades, turns on all the lights and heads for the juke box.

"It's WAY too quiet around here let's pick it up a bit."

He plugs a quarter in the juke box, punches a couple buttons and...

Nuthin...

He kicks it...nuthin...

He looks to the side and sees the power cord. "Well, no wonder." As he plugs it in the quarter falls and the juke comes to life.

He yanks the little wood sprite up by the hand. "Come on Kanga, they're playin' our song." He pushes back some tables and chairs as the juke suddenly blares out...

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine.
I never understood a single word he said,
But I helped him a drinkin' his wine.
Oh yes, he always had some mighty fine wine.

Singin' Joy to the World
All the boys and girls now.
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea.
Joy to you and me.

He spins the little sprite. She spins right back over to the couch, falls into it and immediately starts a gentle snore. The big old guy pays no attention, grabs a buffalo wing and goes right on with his awkward gyrations in the middle of the hall.

Ya' know I love the ladies.
Love to have my fun.
I'm a high night flier and a rainbow rider
A straight-shootin son of a gun
Oh yes, a straight-shootin' son of a gun

Singin' Joy to the World
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me.

Suddenly he stops with a shocked look on his face. Grabbing his chest he feels a warm wetness. He raises a hand covered with the ugly red goo. "I've been hit!"

Touching his finger to his tongue, he begins to spit. Oooooo that's the nastiest pizza I've ever tasted. He peels the half-eaten slice off his chest and throws it back across the room at the little bear in the corner.

"Darn, the music is over. Now I'll have to put in some more quarters."

The whole room groans as the big old dude strides resolutely back to the juke.

Hmmmm...now what looks good?
