In Which Kat Expresses Her Feelings With Penguins And Dick Van Dyke And Micheal Cerveris And Assorted Other Assortments

(A troop of penguins from Mary Poppins burst in. You know, the animated ones that Dick Van Dyke dances with.)

Gabe: Wha?

David: Eh?

Mickey: WTF?

Kat: Ha.

(Micheal Cerveris appears.)

Micheal Cerveris: (Singing.) And though I'll think of you, I guess, until the day I die, I find I miss you less and less as every day goes by Johaaaaaanaaaa. . .And in that darkness when I'm blind with what I can't forget, it's always morning in my mind, my little lamb, my pet, Johaaaaaaanaaaaaaaaaa. . .

David: OMG Micheal Cerveris.

Spencer: Who's Micheal Cerveris?

Gabe: Sweeney Todd.

Max: Eeeep!

Kat: Calmate!

David: Dear me.

Kat: Indeed.

All: Hmmmmmmmm.

(There is a brief silence. Suddenly, there is a voice.)

Sudden Voice: Shouldn't something happen now?

Kat: No, no, not really.

Sudden Voice: Why am I called the sudden voice? I don't seem very sudden to me at all.

Gabe: Well, being that you spoke rather quickly. . .

Sudden Voice: That doesn't sound like something Gabe would say.

Kat: How do you know that? You just showed up a minute ago.

David: Aha! I have it!

Spencer: No, I have it!

Both: We have it!

(Ben appears out of thin air.)

Ben: Yes, the Sudden Voice would have been me. . .

Max: What are you doing here?

David: Nothing against you, of course, but I took it that relations between you and Kat were rather strained at the moment.

(Kat is sitting on an iron park bench that has spontaneously appeared, by a river that has likewise spontaneously appeared. She is blankly watching the penguins, who are dancing. Occasionally, she throws rocks into the river. Micheal Cerveris starts dancing with the penguins. Kat looks mildly alarmed, then depressed again.)

Ben: I was about to take it as well, but I suppose if I took it I would allow her to become totally stereotypical.

David: She's sitting on a park bench throwing rocks in the water. And you think it gets more stereotypical?

Ben: Think of it this way. She could be quoting Sex and the City.

David: She did. Two blog posts ago.

Ben: What? When?

David: It was the Quote of the Day.

Ben: How do you know that?

David: . . .I don't watch Sex and the City. Really.

Gabe: Hmmm.

David: WHAT?

And the moral of the story is:

Even a breakup is funny if you add penguins and Micheal Cerveris.

No, not really.

If anyone needs me, I'm at the proverbial park bench throwing rocks in the water, watching the proverbial penguins. (That's a great name for a band.)

Quote of the Day

"Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays."
