"Once upon a Train"

[ezdays]

..."Whistle While You Work", followed by seven other little people carrying picks, shovels and lanterns, all singing the same song.

"Hey, you guz," said Moe, "youz got a chocolate mine down there?"

"You're crazy Moe, that ain't no Oopa Loomas, can't you seen that little beautiful girl there sound asleep?" said Curly. "Thems the...

 

[Pitchwife]

...seven midgets and the chick is Sleepng Rella. And everyone knows that you don't mine chocolate, idgit. You drill for it and it comes up liquid. And quit eating that apple. You don't know who it was that already took a bite outta it" "Oh, a wise guy eh?" said Moe. "Why I otta..." and with that Moe fell flat on his face, sound asleep. "Hey everybody!" cried Larry. "Moe's passed out! Someone's going to have to.....

 

[N Gauger]

Kiss him to wake him up....... One of the Oompa Loompa's moved forward "I'll do it!!"

Moe woke up - "Oh No You Won't" Curley said "See - it worked!!"

The Little guys continued out of the car - looking forward to gallons of liquid chocolate....

But where did Sleeping Rella go??? SHe was gone...

In natural progression, the sherriffs started searching the car & train for her....

This detailed search uncovered a few things......

~~ The Shadow was nowhere to be found (Like we didn't know that)

~~ The Chef Emeril was cooking chocolate cake (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm) :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

~~ The Stooges, when pressed into service as detectives are almost useless

~~~~~~~~ And Martha Stewart was asleep in the haystack in the rear car - apparently no-one wanted to kiss her

This started a new argument between the passengers...................

 

[ezdays]

...Who was that frog sitting in the engineers seat? No one wanted to kiss Martha, and no one surly wanted to kiss a frog either, so they just argued and guessed and wondered. Just then the frog spoke, "Hey, I'm just a prince of a guy wots gotta nose to go wid this good lookin' face. Goodnight Mrs. Calabash whereever you are." Then, as frogs do, it began singing, "Inka dinka do..."

"Hey, I know that voice," said Hoppy, who was still confused about a lot of things, but knew that voice for sure, "Why it's my old friend...

Michigan J Frog... But this could mean only one thing...........

The train, The Chocolate train, was headed back into Toon town............

everyone crammed into the cab of the train just in time to see, the gates of toon town Flash Past.... and there.....tied to the tracks in front of the train, ready to get runned overrrrrr

....................WAS........................................

One of the missing Passengers! The


(hope you don't mind me joining in)

...guy who pretended to be the Shadow, but was really a Toon all along who was able to sneak aboard the train while it stopped for water the last time it was passing ToonTown. The Stooges all jumped off the train to see who it was, unfortunately, the train was still going at the time and they were scattered all over the tracks. Undaunted, they got up, brushed themselves off and checked to see if they still had all their parts. In the meantime, Hoppy, in true heroic fashon, got on his horse in the baggage car and leaped off the still moving train to save this person. Unfortunately for Hoppy, the doors were closed and his adventure ended with a big THUD.

Who is left to save this Toon character, this impersonator? Before we had a chance to even ponder that question, a mild voice, just barely audible, peeped out in the rear...

I think I can I think I can! Every one turned to see who said those words. It was little

 

[N Gauger]

Red Riding hood..... She opened up her picnic basket & out came Yogi Bear & Boo-Boo!

The Huge bear said" Oh what a BeeeUtiful Pik-a-nic Basket"!

And like a shot from a gun, There was Mr. Ranger!!!

The People in the cab said "Mister Ranger Sir!! Can you ..........

 

[Papa Bear]

...make some sense out of all of this?" Unfortunately, Ranger Smith was at that moment somewhat befuddled and unable to offer any useful insights. It was Yogi who, being smarter than the average bear, was able to provide a much needed fresh perspective.

"We've got this picnic basket; we're on a chocolate choo-choo; and Emeril's on the train so... LET'S EAT!"

"Now Yogi," Ranger Smith interrupted, "how can you think of food at a time like this. Don't you know it's...

 

[62cj5]

Bad manners not to share and what of the man on the track shouldn’t some one tell…..

 

[N Gauger]

.........him it's snack time??

All agreed that it would be a good idea to let him know.... So they stopped the train got out - walked up the tracks only to find, that the poor soul, that was tied to the tracks was none other than.........................

 

[ezdays]

...Paulene. Yes folks, they were shooting another episode of The Perils of Paulene and she found herself once again trying to get off the tracks with a train barreling down on her. Could she possibly get untied before the train hit her? How can she manage such a feat? Well little buddies, we're just going to have to wait until next Saturday's matinee when in episode #16, we find our heroine...

 

[ausien]

Tide to the table of a buzz saw........ then along comes........

 

[62cj5]

Larry, Curly, and Moe. Yes folks we are once more on the train headed out of toon town and into …….

 

[ezdays]

...DisneyLand, the magic kingdom, the happiest land of all. Since they were heading to Hollywood anyway, the engineer decided to surprise them all and take a side trip to Anaheim. After all, that's where he got his training to run a train. As the train approached the main gate, he panicked. Apparently he had not considered that it would cost him $750 to park the train in sections 4b through 6e. "What to do, what to do?" he thought. Then it came to him, if he could just....

 

[62cj5]

fool them into thinking that his train was a tram. After all this is the place for make-believe! If only thay had a...........

 

[N Gauger]

Conductor & a bell - Yes - there they were in Pure Toon town fashion.... But - ringing the bell was noine other than

M - I - See - Kay - E - Why - - - M - Oh - You - S - Eeeeeeeeeeeee

All it took was....................

 

[ezdays]

...a free pass from none other than the big guy himself. Yes sir, Goofy got free parking for the train and free admission to the Magic Kingdom, all they needed now was a place to freshen up. After all, the restrooms on the train hadn't been cleaned since they started this trip. Everyone headed to the big lake in the center of Adventure Land, and a few just jumped in. Unfortunately, the Adventure Land boat ride was just rounding the bend and I think the guide mistook Curly for a hippo, 'causeas he usually does at this point in the ride, he pulled out his gun and took aim. The boat got closer and closer as the guide...

 

[Papa Bear]

...let off a couple of fast shots. BANG! BANG! (Don't worry, he was shooting blanks.) Curly looked up and said, "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" and responded with a spritzer blast that missed the tour guide and soaked down most of the passengers in the boat.

The guide piloted the boat around the bend and then announced, "We're approaching Livingston Falls, named after that famous explorer Sir Edward Falls." It was at that point that a passenger jumped up and exclaimed, "Oh no you don't! I'm not getting wet again!" The passenger then grabbed the wheel from the guide, knocking him into the water in the process and attempted to steer the boat away from the falls. The boat did indeed turn away from the waterfall; it turned right into the...
