In the immortal words of Helen Narbon (Sr.), let me say "Heh heh heh."Alina must have studied the Guild of Evil Webtoonists!
Actually, I was kind, and didn't leave you guys with the even bigger cliffhanger. You'll have to wait until next week for that one.Oh, and AGAIN with the Friday cliffhanger!

Abbie to the rescue... That phrase creates the same kind of mood as the countdown to a building demolition! Though demolitions are usually wanted and carefully planned out... Oh well. Fireworks are fireworks.
My name made sense when I first thought it up.
I apologize in advance for the inevitable awkwardness.

Evidently, with a song and dance routine. 
Simple Simon met a pieman going to the fair;
Said Simple Simon to the pieman "Let me taste your ware."
Said the pieman to Simple Simon "Show me first your penny."
Said Simple Simon to the pieman "Sir, I have not any!"
Half-elves and golems and nymphs, oh my!

Now I'm wondering what she would do to break up a song-and-dance number, should it become necessary.
EDIT: I was trying to remember where I've heard that song before. Anyone else think it's what the chest-bursting alien sang in Spaceballs?

...See, awkward moments are the reason I try to think over and filter each statement and action.
Jumping to conclusions is bad.

I may not ever have seen the frog, which is doubtless why I didn't quite get the alien. I don't know how I missed it, I saw enough WB cartoons when I was a kid. Thanks for the explanation.One post wonder wrote:The Warner Brothers' dancing frog is the most likely thing you are trying to recall. The Alien was a parody of that.

Oh, wow... You are missing out on one of the best known cartoons in history! Well, It is around 50 years old, so I guess that is understandable. Anyway, I found it on google for you.

It's funny to me that people don't grow up with those old songs. Our town had a yearly "gay 90s festival" that celebrated the 1890s. So we had a barbershop quartet contest, a parade, and a bunch of stuff that the schools would do like little carnival games in the gym and talent shows. They stopped celebrating it in 1990 due to it not being politically correct. I miss some of those old song and stuff.
I like recognizing them when they pop up though, like with Michigan J Frog and when HAL starts running down in 2001.

It's a good thing win is a renewable resource, or the old animation studios would have used it all up making cartoons like that.

Some forums have high standards to posting like that, most that I've seen allow all sorts of loose posting. On some you just quote them and write "QFT" if you agree with someone. on other forums you can just quote the person and not type ANYTHING.One post wonder wrote:... It feels strange to post just to say that... Is it more impolite to make short and insubstantial posts like this, or to fail to acknowledge expressed gratitude?
You don't have a gigantic sig and your avatar doesn't induce seizures so I think it'll be OK.

There was a time when a group meeting to practice strange rituals then suddenly chanting in tongues with an outsider witnessing would result in accusations of devil worship and witch burnings. Now it is just good fun!
