The pumpkin is sad due to the damage done by the pseudo-Muppet.
The Internet – Halloween is often among the best days of the year for many Americans, both young and somewhat young, with the enjoyment centered around trick-or-treating for children as well as parties for the not-as-young.
The common thread between these different ways of celebrating the holiday is the tradition of dressing up in costume, a tradition which has been horribly damaged by someone who has been described as “a real-life Muppet” and “the worst.” There have been numerous complaints about this person, including one by a 31-year-old identified as Teddy G. who was so traumatized by the encounter he could only speak in rhyming verse.
This is his account:
In the month of October, in a store in New York
My two arms held a costume labeled as “Mork from Ork.”
It had stripes and suspenders, as was seen on the show
Would be great for the party where I planned to go
But as I waited for checkout, almost at the cashier
I observed a small person clear his throat and draw near
The small person is mostly this color. Maybe he ate lots of carrots and has too much fiber in his system, thus resulting in his litigious disposition.
He said: “You need to return this. You have to. You must.
You can’t dress like someone who’s bitten the dust
It isn’t respectful. It’s frankly obscene
It’s not the right way to observe Halloween
Just because some might laugh at Na-Nu-Na-Nu
Doesn’t make it remotely the right thing to do
Then I had to respond, so I said “Who are you?”
He said: “I am the Lawyrax, I speak for the dead
I speak for those sleeping in an eternal bed
But the speech that I speak is not just for sport
The speech that I speak can be spoken in court
So if you buy and wear this, it’s not merely rude
It is sufficient reason for you to get sued.”
A costume like this would have also lead to an lawsuit from the Lawyrax
I didn’t want trouble, so I returned to the rack
I lifted the costume, and then I put it back
Then I got another, and returned to the line
Thinking my choice would be totally fine
But before I could buy it, who did I see?
‘Twas the Lawyrax again, sternly tapping my knee
Leading to a lost temper. I said, “Good God above!
What I have is a costume that everyone loves!
The costume looked at least a little like this.
And he said: “Not so fast. I speak for the fauna
I speak for each creature that can’t lounge in a sauna
I speak for each lemur and bee and iguana
I speak for the eagles and seals and piranhas
I speak because people like you think it’s peachy
To wear something which appropriates species
“If an elephant saw you, I’m sure it would squirm
Since this garb mocks the essence of a pachyderm
And if you’re sure that girls will find this adorable
Then you’re a basket case, ’cause the costume’s deplorable
Elephants would be offended, I’m sure, if they saw.
So put it back or I’ll fight you in a court of law.”
This, colored green, with green ham, would not have been an acceptable costume either.
I picked up something else and then
Each time I got shot down again
He would not let me be a cop
Or dress up like I do hip-hop
He would not let me be a ghoul
Or Hamilton before the duel
Or Bono, Morrissey, or Sting
He wouldn’t let me be ANYTHING
So the mouth on my face had an upside-down grin
Because this Halloween, I will be staying in
Since to go out sans constume means oodles of shame
At the party, I’d surely regret that I came
Yet the Lawyrax cares not for how I would feel
A costume’s a costume, shouldn’t be a big deal
Heck Yes News
