Oh My Word

I've been crying for ten minutes solid at this part:

The Press : The women seem to be making a shit-ton of noise about something? Why are there stickers of cocks everywhere??? What on earth is going on?

Glorious piece of writing

I do hope you haven't all packed away your witch outfits from last month, this is going to need a LOT of costumes

Reportage.

That's depressingly funny.

I'm trying to think up an appropriate way of setting JCJ's libretto to Gilbert & Sullivan

One of my all time favourite parodies is:

I swear this is the last time I'll go boating with Odysseus
Titanic? Minnow? Edmund F.? His ship's by far the riskiest
He said Let's get some Trojans! so I left without apology
But now I find my sorry butt ensnared in Greek mythology

So here's the tale I'm tellin', Jack (You may conclude I'm sellin' crack):
We had to tramp to Hell 'n' back to drag a tramp named Helen back
But since we started sailin' back, the gods have been their pissiest...
The one thing worse than politics is boating with Odysseus!

[Gods]
IN CASE YOU THINK WE'RE HERE TO ECHO LINES ABOUT ODYSSEUS
WE'RE NOT! FOR REPETITION, GO TRY ROLLING STONES WITH SISYPHUS
REPEAT, WE'RE NOT JUST HERE TO, WE REPEAT, BE REPETITI-TITIOUS (cont.)

Brilliant -& yes I read it in Southpark voices too!

Superb! Thanks!

Another one reading for the part of "Women" here.

Brilliant, hilarious and deftly recounts the whole history of this saga with perfect accuracy.

Kudos to Clever Jane Clare Jones. Thanks OP & mumsnet. You made my night.

I absolutely lost it at the intersectional feminists saying 'we don't have the spoons'. This is scarily accurate.

Love it!!

I know a couple of those academics with cool girl syndrome

Heh.
I've been being intensively brainwashed by the TRAs since a decade before the first war began.
Repeating their slogans probably longer than anyone else still doesn't make them true.

My gosh, tis amazing

Don't anyone tell the misogynist child with column in major left-wing newspaper Utterly brilliant! I've already read it twice and my ribs are aching.

😂 Amazing!! 😂

I don’t get the bit about the spoons? Can anyone explain please?

Spoon theory

You WILL

Brilliant
It must be my age but in my head the non women voices sounded like Daleks

Absolutely fantastic.

Thanks hipsterfun 👍

I heard daleks too! Brilliant piece of writing.

Ha, someone posted this on another thread and I so read it as Southpark characters!

Quite the tonic. I presume we can all join in a chorus of Blame Canada at some point, too?

I was one of the three witches in MacBeth once, I am sure that qualifies for me for a part in the stage production of this.

I LOVE this! So funny and brilliantly written. Brava!!
