> Finally: > > Who wrote that parody piece on the list where Simba and Nala et al > were arguing over names? I recall that had much the same punchline as > this.... *blinks and blushes* If you are talking about what I think you are talking about ... I'm the guilty party. ;) Been over a year now ... so ... guess I'll repost :> (Note this was before we knew the cubs true name ... and the news came up that it might be a girl. Fluffy, of course, came from the TLKCav LD. ) ---------------------- The still very unnamed humorous (or at least its ment to be) peice of writing ... By Nala Several hours before Simba and Nala's cub's presentaion ... Simba and Nala are in the cave at Pride Rock gazing lovingly at the little cub Nala cradles in her paws. Rafiki strolls into the cave. Simba and Nala look up smiling. Simba: Hi Rafiki! Rafiki (bowing) : Your majesty. Rafiki bends down and tickles Simba's and Nala's cub's stomach. Rafiki: And how is .... is ... is ... umm whats his name? Simba: Chaka. Nala: Tanabi. Simba: Nala! I thought we had decided on Chaka? Nala: No! We decided on Tanabi! Simba: Oh no we didn't! Nala: Oh yes we did! Rafiki: You mean dat you haven't decided on a name yet?! Simba: We had but SOMEONE had to go and change her mind. Nala: It was you who had to go and change his mind! Rafiki sighs. Rafiki: Alright den. Lets see if we can find a name dat you two both like. Rafiki whips out a book. "Name Your Cub" is the title. Rafiki: Alright ... Lets see ... Rafiki starts listing some names. Timon walks in. Timon: Eh whats goin' on in here? A party and I wasn't invited?! Timon walks up to Nala and ruffles the cubs fur on his head. Rafiki: Dey are trying to decide on a name for da cub. Timon: I thought you guys had decided on that ages ago. Nala: I thought so too Timon. Nala glares at Simba. Simba glares back. Timon: Why not just call the kid something simple ... like ... Fluffy? Simba and Nala: FLUFFY?!?!?! Timon: Heh heh ... ok maybe not ... uhh ... bye. Timon turns and starts for the cave entrence. Nala: Hold it Timon. Timon stops dead in his tracks. Nala points to a spot in the cave. Nala: GO over there. Timon obeys. Nala: Sit. Timon sits. Nala plunks the cub onto his lap. Timon: *Oooof!* Nala: Stay. Timon: *groan* Yes ma'm. Nala turns back to Simba and Rafiki. Nala: Okay carey on. Rafiki turns back to the book and starts listing names again. Hours later ... Rafiki: Dats it! Rafiki slams the book shut. Rafiki: Dats all of em'. Have you decided on one? Simba: I still like Chaka best. Nala: Tanabi is still the best. Simba and Nala glare at each other. Nala: Tanabi. Simba: Chaka. Nala: Tanabi! Simba: Chaka! Rafiki: *sigh* Dis is hopeless. Rafiki tosses the book over his shoulder in despare. Simba and Nala argue on. Timon: Could I say something here? Simba and Nala: WHAT??! Timon cringes a bit. Timon: I don't supose it occured to you that you might have been going about this name choosing thing the wrong way? Simba: What do you mean Timon? Timon: Maybe its not a he at all ... Maybe its a SHE. Rafiki: He's right ya know. Simba and Nala look at each other exasperated and faint. Rafiki and Timon (who is still sqooshed under Simba and Nala's cub) look at each other. Rafiki and Timon: Carnivoes ...
