Rudy introduces Georgie to Junior & Harrizzz, the Hive's Coffin-Builders...
Ya’ know what I just found out? No? GET THIS:
Ya’ know how I kept thinking Queen Bee was talking about the “Coughin’ Races” the Humans in Manitou who all have those Terrible Colds are having? Did you know that she wasn’t saying “Coughin’”. She was saying COFFIN. You know, like an actual Coffin…the kind Humans use to deal with themselves after they’ve decided they’ve watched enough re-runs, or are simply sick and tired of eating Left-Overs, and decide to leave, permanently. (Hey, it happens.)
So they’re racing COFFINS. I’m not kidding here.
I immediately went over to the Hive to speak to Rudy about this development, and he told me, “Of courth! The Humanth have been doing that for yearth!”
Well, excuse me, but this is the first I heard of it.
And then he told me that the Hive is ALSO building a Coffin to bee in the Big Race, and introduced me to the two bees who are Project Supervisors for this whole thing, Harrizzz, and his Remarkable Assistant, Junior.
“They have a Vision for thith Coffin, and plan to build one for the Hive that will WIN THITH THING!”
After we were introduced, Junior said, “It’s very nice to meet you, Mr. Bee. How are you? I hope you’re having a great day!” (Junior’s very polite.)
Then Harrizzz said, “We could use your help with this, Bud,” to which I said, “Bee. My name is Bee. My help?”
“Yeah, your help, Bee. Lester’s helping, so are a bunch of others in the Hive, so there’s no excuse for you to just let everybody else do all the work on this thing while you just sit around, ya’ know. If this Project is going to end up beeing as Beeautimous as it needs to bee, we’re gonna need help - and lots of it.”
Whatever. I told them that maybee I’d help out, but it would hafta depend on my Rehearsal Schedule, and whether or not they planned to do it at the same time that Talula Beehead Retrospective is gonna bee on the Bee Network pretty soon (I think that starts airing around 3:27 a.m., MSDT, and runs for the next week, hopefully.) I simply can’t miss that, so I told Harrizzz I’d let him know, probably.
In the meantime, I need to go do laundry (I’m out of socks.)
I hope everybody has an immensely curiosity-satisfying day!
I’ll see ya’ later!
