Attached to a sloping hill, in a place not far from here, is a large and sprawling park. In this park are several giant Belgian hares - some say rabbits - perusing the vegetation in their quiet, nervous way, foraging as God intended for them to do amongst the grasses. A gentle breeze, accompanied by
the sounds of birds, stirs the carpet of flowers peppering the ground from here to the horizon.
You stand at the top of the hill overlooking the scene. You are fully ten feet tall (with your hat) and you can hardly bend your arms or your knees. You adjust the gigantic head so that you can see more clearly. A giggle begins. You turn clumsily to see other tinky-winkies and laa-laa's beside you, stumbling up to the lip of the hill, wrestling with costumes. There is an expectant pause. Suddenly an anonymous dipsy yells, "Race ya," and as one body, the whole lot of overstuffed, brightly colored teletubbies plunges over the cusp, tumbling, twirling, spinning, rolling, laughing. Thin ribbons of sky and grass, sky and grass spin across your view with the occasional rabbit (or hare) springing lightly away. Off in the far distance you can just make out a little po following the herd down, down, down
to a conveyor belt where you lay laughing and giggling and feeling very dizzy and very happy, and in this condition you are brought again to the top of the hill.
*sigh*

"I get knocked down.... but I get up again..." - Teletubthumping. |
|
|
This is much better than teletubing, the transference of thought by *inner* tubes. |
|
|
Don't be scared, [DeathNinja], you can be Mr. Noo Noo. |
|
|
I'll give a (+) if there's a beer tent! |
|
|
eat yer tubby custard up first. puts a window on your chest. |
|
|
So it's nothing to do with commuting while bathing? |
|
|
I'll drink a Tubbytoast to this idea! |

//So it's nothing to do with commuting while bathing?// |
|
|
Ew! Brings new meaning to "carpool." |
|
|
Aaargh! Real Life Alert!!! |
|
|
Now, now eggy, it's nothing to get excited about. |
|
|
don't take much to get him egg-cited |
|
|
And what would one of those be doing visiting this site? |
|
|
I thought we called them Trolls? |
|
|
i take it there are failsafes against things like, oh...breaking your neck.... |
|
|
Yes, failsafes. It didn't really fit in the poetic structure, but reinforcing in important areas of the costume would be mandatory. |
|
|
Is this a long hill, specifically for rollypollying down whilst dressed as a teletubby? Nice one. Just be sure to remove all thistles and cowpats first (I am speaking from experience). |
|
|
As long as they were crusty cowpats, they would be ok. The Tubbies could play frisbee then. |
|
|
The best ones for frisbeeing are those with a crispy edge for grip and aerodynamics but a soft middle for splat-factor, especially if you are throwing them at someone else. Still, you should remove them from the rolling area first. Maybe have them as an extra attraction, a little stand selling perfectpats for 50p to amuse you between rollings. |
|
|
You could save some £s and lose some lbs by rolling your own pats. |
|
|
its just like when thoes bullies stuffed me in a rashcan and rolled me down a hill, just with a beer tent at the attraction, and maybe a little more annoying ... I LIKE IT! [+] |
|
|
Silverstormer, everyone knows that is what Tubbytoast is for. |
|
|
Mommy...*tug...tug* Why is Dipsy tipsy? |
|
|
Weeeeeeeee! Again! Hee hee! + |
|
|
[sarty]! Where have you been? <fists akimbo> |
|
|
BTW, beer tenters beware! See links... |
|
|
thems alien teletubbies - oooh arh. <runs away> |
|
|
Did you know that if you roll down a hill repeatedly, and then drink plenty of beer, you can actually see a baby's face in the sun. True story. |
|
|
does anyone know, is that arabic on their screens? |
|
|
Well, the "13" is in Arabic numerals, but the po has an Om symbol (I believe) on it. Not sure about dipsy or tinkywinky back there. |
|
|
What the ? I get this one about as well as I get the
actual show, which would be just about not at all, but my
2 year old sure loves it. I guess I should ask him. |
|
|
+ anyway, I'm not sure why. |
|
|
(Actually, I've never been skiing, but I imagine my technique would be very much like this). |
|
|
Thanks, [Tabbyclaw]. *sniff* I could use a good roll down a hill today. |
|
|
A hay-covered hill, [k_sra] ? |
|
|
Hang tough, spring is on it's way. |
|
|
[edit] Although I confess I did expect hottub-teleconferences. I could really get into doing business that way. |
