Who wants some Jabberwocky parodies?
http://www76.pair.com/keithlim/jabberwocky/

My favorite is Jumperwashy

'Twas busted, and the slurpy works
Did grind and grumble in the box
All wonky were the front controls
And the foam wraiths ate socks.

"Beware the AC shock, my son!
The wire that spearks, the light that pops.
Beware the drive belt's edge and shun
The fuming junction box."

He took his screwdriver in his hand
Long time the gremlin foe he sought
So rested he by the kitchen stove
And stood a while in thought.

And as in complex thought he stood
The gremlin with its fuse of flame
Came swirling from the grinding box
And smoldered as it came.

One, two! One, two! With brown and blue
His wirecutters went snicker-snack
He stopped it dead with tin and lead
And went perspiring back.

"And hast thou slain the gremlin, lad?
O dirty shirt and sockery!
'Tis washing day, calloo callay!"
They chortled in their jollity.

'Twas mended, and the slurpy works
Did swirl and twizzle in the box
Responsive were the front controls
And the foam wraiths cleaned socks.

3. I need to get in on this thing, too

I hear they've even got James Earl Jones lined up to do the voice-over. Too bad it won't be out until 2012, though.

4. of course I know about Jabberwocky
I just think it would be better without parodies. Maybe with one more Paige. Or a Marcus. Or an Iguana named Quincy.
