WOE.BEGONE

The Ballad Of Season 17

Season 18 starts tomorrow.


LYRICS:

Well, we didn’t know everyone who got edited

Mikey was part CANNONBALL

And when he killed Mike on the way to his home

No one noticed ‘cuz mike was just gone

Then back at base Edgar needed a strategy

To tell the edits apart

So he and Ryan were using the Stinky 

Device, everyone was alarmed


And meanwhile a Michael we don’t know

Is lining up the pieces in a row

He’s setting everything up just so

He’ll get to the finish line, steady and slow


Chance is part CANNONBALL, no one’s surprised

And Ty-Troy lends Stinky a hand

They lead him down to the containment wing

Where they subsequently banish him

They go their separate ways looking for Mike and now

Stinky’s face-to-face with Tex

A brawl breaks out, his leg is a goner

He doesn’t know what’s coming next


And meanwhile a Michael we don’t know

Is lining up the pieces in a row

He’s catching up on his favorite show

While he drives to the distance, steady and slow


Meanwhile, Christmas Island’s not quite so festive

A yacht has been spotted at sea

And when they storm the place, they see a familiar face

Felix is dead as can be

Stinky wakes up and he has been abandoned

A Leg is sewn into his stump

He knows that Nobody’s lurking inside him

But Bluster arrives and picks him up


And meanwhile a Michael we don’t know

Is lining up the pieces in a row

He disconnects Nobody so that

The plan can go forward, steady and slow


Stinky and Michael fly down the highway

Charlissa and Ryan pop in

Stinky’s surprised, but when they arrive

They say they are looking for him

This is a piece of Michael’s grand scheme

The edited folks make their way

Down to the containment wing where he

Disconnects Nobody, sends him on his way


With disconnectivity in tow

Nobody’s plan begins to grow

He heads back to the start, ready to go

To cut off his arm, steady and slow


Back at the beginning, Nobody is playing

WOE.BEGONE once again

The phone call goes off without much of a hitch

Michael provides arms for his plan

But Nobody’s quickly thrown off of the path

When Roger shows up with the pig

He isn’t innocent, what does he know

He’s involving himself in this thing


So when Stinky finally comes to

Inside the body he once knew

Nobody’s got one challenge left to go

He’s been playing the game, steady and slow


While Stinky was out, Roger claimed his own prize

And taken the device from him

He wants revenge for his father from Ty,

Who Roger thinks got his dad killed

They take off to Matt’s house, a pitstop at O.V.E.R.

Stinky steals back what is his

He learns a life lesson inside the diner

And now he is ready for this


So when they arrive at Matt's house

Stinky’s ready to go out

But when he makes his sacrifices known

Anne takes him away, steady and slow


Is Stinky stuck in the future?

Will Anne help Base rebuild?

There’s no guarantee but I think we’ll know

At the end of the season, steady and slow.

    “[Snowshoe hares] are shy and secretive and spend most of the day in shallow depressions, called forms, scraped out under clumps of ferns, brush thickets, and downed piles of timber. They may occasionally use the large burrows of mountain beavers as forms. … Snowshoe hares are generally solitary but may gather in small groups when feeding.” -Source[Warning: this episode contains depictions of game animals being used as food, natural disasters, violence, death, and wet and visceral sounds.

    "Harlequin rabbits are friendly, playful, and social animals that thrive when they get lots of interaction with their family members. Like other pet bunnies, Harlequins need several hours of supervised time outside of their cage to get exercise and release excess energy. Rabbits that do not get enough social interaction may develop undesirable behaviors like biting, scratching, or kicking when handled."

  • 2. 242: Wooly

    34:30||Season 21, Ep. 2
    “Jersey Wooly rabbits are most active around daybreak and sunset. They do better indoors but should have enough space to run around in the house. Allowing your rabbit to run outdoors will help it get fresh air and sunlight, which makes for a healthy life. However, make sure it is in a secure area away from other animals or possible predators.”LINKS:KO-FI SHOP: https://ko-fi.com/woebegonepod/shopMUSIC: http://woebegonepod.bandcamp.comBLUSTEER: http://blusteer.bandcamp.comTWITCH: http://twitch.tv/woebegonepodPATREON: http://patreon.com/woe_begoneALIZA SCHULTZ: https://shows.acast.com/the-diary-of-aliza-schultzTRANSCRIPTS: http://WOEBEGONEPOD.comTWITTER: @WOEBEGONEPOD
