lyrics
THOR: So what shall we do today?
METHUSELAH: How about we boast about our non-existent sexual conquests and lie about the size of our willies in a rather uncomfortably transparent way?
T: Nah, bored of that. Why don’t we pretend to be orcs and have a battle?
M: Ok, that sounds fair enough. Later though, later. I tell you what, I saw this … [surprise me] … earlier. Can you lend me some money so I can get it?
T: I don’t even know what one of that is.
M: It’s … [tell me]
T: Are you having a zebra? I’m not lending you money for that, you nonce.
M: Oh go on, you’d lend me money if I was starving, wouldn’t you?
T: Yeah.
M: Well I’m starving for a … [repeat name of thing]
T: [Makes noise] Oh sorry, I’m feeling a bit tourettic today. [Noise]
M: That’s a rather fetching skullcap you’ve got there. Where did you get it?
T: Thanks, I found it.
M: Where did you find it?
T: … [Here’s where I surprise you] …
M: Really? What’s the story there?
T: It’s tragic really. … [I say another sentence here] …
M: It looks good though. It really sets off the ginger in your bumfluff ‘tache.
T: Thanks, I thought so.
M: Hey, I’ve got a joke for you.
T: Go on then.
M: What did the down-on-his-luck farmer say when he got in the Guinness Book of Records for growing the biggest turnip?
T: I do not know.
M: He said: “That’s a turnip for the books!”
[They laugh riotously then suddenly stop]
T: Oh dear, I think I shat myself a little bit there.
M: I’m going to see your cousin later.
T: Oh dear, why would you want to do a thing like that?
M: Why would you say this? He’s all right, isn’t he?
T: Yeah, he’s all right, but there’s something unsettling about him though.
M: What do you mean?
T: I think it’s the questions he asks. It’s like he’s smugly contriving to elaborately run you round the houses of your own cuntness.
M: I know exactly what you mean. I don’t let him get to me though. When I start feeling nervous I just picture him naked.
T: Does it work?
M: No, it just gives me a boner.
T: I don’t know what that is.
M: Yeah you do: it’s when your willy goes hard.
T: Your willy goes hard? That’s nasty, man. Is it treatable?
M: Yeah, you just rub it till all this glue comes out and you uncontrollably shout “Release the hounds!” or “Fly my pretties, fly!” or “Go AIDS!”
T: Glue? That sounds horrific and weird and I don’t want anything to do with it.
M: It’s all right actually. I quite like it sometimes.
T: Oh hang on, is this what I’ve got my hand in?
M: Oh yeah, sorry about that, that happened earlier.
T: Do you mind if I?
M: No no, go ahead.
T: [Lip smacking] That’s disgusting. Really salty.
M: Yeah it is. I don’t get it: even when I haven’t eaten any salt for weeks it still comes out like that.
T: Wow, you must have loads of salt in you.
M: Yeah, I think it’s from when your cousin assaulted me.
[They laugh riotously then suddenly stop]
T: I don’t get it.
M: I’ll explain it to you when you’re older.
T: Oh, did I tell you? I’ve got a hugely ginormous willy and I’ve slept with loads of girls.
M: I thought you said you were bored of talking like that.
T: Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot.
M: And besides, you don’t even really know what it means.
T: Don’t be ridiculous, what’s not to understand about going to sleep with a girl? Anyway, I’d like to have that orc battle now.
M: Cool, ok, you start.
[We hear a variety of intimidating low roars and battle sounds like blasts and arrows thunking into wood, with a metal soundtrack]
M: Ah, that was great.
T: Too right. Best of two?
M: Nah, I should go really.
T: BEST OF TWO?
M: Oh all right then.
[Roars and battle]
T: Cor, you ok? You appear to have an arm off there.
M: Oh that’s fine. I didn’t really like that one anyway. But are you ok? You seem to have broken your neck.
T: Yeah, I don’t mind. I like to consider things from a different angle sometimes.
[Raucous laughter]
M: Ok, bye!
T: Bye!
