A disturbin’ turn o’ events
This strange parody site, Phawrongula, has now posted two parts o’ Pharyngula: The Musical, I’ll warrant ye. I can’t sin’. Can I be th’ pompous narrator instead? That’s more me style.

You know, I cannot fer th’ life o’ me arch one eyebrow th’ way some folks can.
But if I could, I’d be doin’ it now, and sayin’ somethin’ like “ye say th’ motel is in yer mother’s name, Mr. Bates?”
Oh good lord lubber. I’ve got better thin’s t’ do. And swab the deck, and dinna spare the whip! My money’s on one o’ these creationist attention-mongers, like Robert O’Brien or Bob Flynn.
You can teach yourself t’ do th’ eyebrow arch, Chris. It’s worth th’ minor effort.
I have had one o’ th’ undisputed masters (see item two in that linked list) attempt t’ teach me.
I dunno, I think ‘tis brilliant, and much too
smart, frankly, t’ be written by somebody on
th’ Right, who can only manipulate th’
bluntest o’ tools with their stubby little
fingers. It’s a very smart parody o’ a
parody.
I think ‘tis quite good…. But then I love showtunes. It reminds me a bit o’ Aladdin and his Terrible Problem from Bert Fegg’s Nasty Book fer Boys and Girls.
I already felt too dumb fer this site. Now I’m too dumb fer th’ musical version.
Call me when there’s somethin’ with hand puppets or chalk drawin’s.

Not a very good parody if it doesn’t mention th’ Larry Summers hysteria. But that’s low hangin’ fruit, really.
