"Mogmurch not know much about alphabet," he says, "but even ME know TEE is for TURTLE."
*sunglasses*
YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Mogmurch clutches the safely wrapped wasp bomb and the crippled turtle. "Plan simple," he helpfully expounds. Mogmurch places the turtle on its back in front of the door. He gives the hive a vigorous shake (delighting in the angry buzzing that emerges), then gingerly places the primed insect bomb on the turtle's belly, holding the loose end of the doghide wrap. He gestures for Chuffy to man the door handle. "On the count of . . ." Oh, right, Chuffy thinks numbers are snacks. "On the count of WINK!" Mogmurch whispers. Once Chuffy is in position, Mogmurch will give him the signal to open the door momentarily. Then he'll give the hive a nasty kick through the doghide, unraveling it and launching the hive into the cabin just in time for Chuffy to shut the door. Then the Licktoads hold the door shut and laugh and laugh and laugh. Eat the helpful turtle later.
Mogmurch's jaw drops. After such a sterling performance, how could he lose? Enraged, he rears back to headbutt Chuffy into oblivion! He miscalculates Chuffy's position (not remotely the first time) and thrusts his face over his opponent's shoulder, accidentally giving him a warm congratulatory hug. He attempts to crush Chuffy in his mighty grasp, but only succeeds in making this all the more awkward. Maybe I can still make this work in my favor, he thinks, his stomach roiling. Mogmurch concentrates on bringing the slugs up and, subsequently, straight down Chuffy's back. He closes his eyes and heaves. Here it comes! Sweet revenge! Mogmurch, having lost his grip and toppled onto his back in the mud, vomits only on himself. |
