Outsider humor thread

[Urist]

A quote from Arioch that I'd found in the Q&A thread gave me an idea. The quote:

I suspect that a lot of what the Loroi would find funny is slapstick, wacky non-sequitur Monty Python type stuff.

So, taking a few liberties with just how Soia Trade is conjugated:

...

Shortly after the annexation of Taben (more like 'conquest' if you ask some of them):

[a Taben resistance member, 'Toroin Narrat Ziradin', is spray-painting a protest message across the wall of a back alley. An Imperial patrol walks up, two Soroin led by a Mizol Romessat].

Romessat: <What's this, then? "Mizolon Bazen à Minzanel?" 'She who is watched, the house they go?'>

Narrat: (speaking aloud, nervously) "It saying 'Mizols go home.'"

Romessat: <No it doesn't.> [The two Soroin lean back against the other wall, getting comfortable.] <Come on, what's Trade for 'Sentinels'?>

Narrat: "...Mizolon?"

Romessat: [telekinetically tweaks the Narrat's ear]: <Plural! Come on, try again!>

Narrat: "Augh! I meaning 'Mizols!'"

Romessat: <Correct!> [writes on the wall] <Now, the word for 'home'?>

Narrat: "I writing 'Minzanel'!"

Romessat: <Ahh, but is this home a specific structure?>

Narrat: "...no?"

Romessat: <So you use the...?>

Narrat: "Indefinite word?"

Romessat: <Which is...?>

Narrat: "Minzan!"

Romessat: <Good!> [writes on wall] <Now, when a group all go, it is written...>

Narrat: "Baze!"

Romessat: [Aims the spray-paint can at the Narrat threateningly] <Imperative form!>

Narrat: [eyes flinch closed] "No instead... 'Bazero'?>

Romessat: <Yes! 'Mizols Minzan Bazero.'> [Writes on wall, steps back, admires handiwork] <Now write it out a hundred times.>

Narrat: "I'd nev— or I meaning 'Yes officer'!"

Romessat: <If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your hair off.> [Marches away]

*Hours pass*
Narrat: [collapses with exhaustion after writing the last letter] "All is being done now!"

Soroin: <Right. Now don't do it again!> [exits]

[Second patrol walks up, two different Soroin led by one Teidar]

[Soroins stare in shock; Teidar's eye twitches]

Narrat: "...did I got a word not right?"

[Narrat exits, Stage Right, pursued by Teidar]

[D-503]

"Life of Narrat"...

Wasn´t the UFO-scene happening right after that (pursuit)?

[Urist]

Narrat Ziradin, meaning 'Noble.' As close of a translation as I can get for 'Brian.'

And the UFO scene would just be a very confused Narrat Ziradin getting taken for a joyride by two Historians on their first (and last, as it turns out) unsupervised shuttle flight).

[Ziradin stumbles out of the smoking wreckage, dazed.]

Bystander: <You lucky plunger...>

"As an online discussion about humor grows longer, the probability of a Monty Python reference approaches 1.":)


Do Loroi care that much about grammar? I assumed they consider spoken and written language secondary to Sanzai.

Nice1.

Good one - didn´t see that coming!
...Historians, we haven´t seen a "fleshy one" yet, right? Now i imagine them like the UFO-puppets, with those urine-bags dangling around them...

Also: Cool engine sound for a reactionless drive! (btw i have to look up ze internetz, if the english version has the same sound... Edit: Yep!)

[Ziradin stumbles out of the smoking wreckage, dazed.]

Bystander: <You lucky plunger...>

A bit larger hole, a bit more carnage and smoke...

How do you quell the flames of Loroi menfolk?

What do Teidars and terrorists have in common?
