*dramatic music begins to play* I found a quiz. *the beat goes lower* A very good quiz. A very ten question-ish quiz on the Newsies Beat *audience claps* (Heya Flame and Indie!!!!!! If you go to their site more than five times, they give you a lollipop). I took this__quiz….it was a quiz of a newsie soul mate. Yes, a newsie soul mate. I awaited impatiently for the answer to just who my newsie soul mate was - hoping I get the one newsie who I love like a rash *ewwwww* I finally got my results back and I was overjoyed to see that MUSH was my soul mate!!!! *circles around chair couple times then runs into the wall* Now, I have the glory of running hand and hand with Mush in a field of daisies - down to my huge pond in my backyard where we jump in, but run right back out because it’s !freezing! right now and we have the same cheese for brains.

Hmmm…Racetrack…Newsies…The Lion King…Timon… What do all of these things have in common? Yes! Max Casella! I think it’s great that Max got to do The Lion King on Broadway. It’s wonderful to know that. But, I started thinking (yeah, my brain ain’t made of cheese all the time) about the character Timon which he plays. I was totally infatuated with Timon when I was twelve (which was a very long time ago *counting fingers* six years). In LK, Timon dresses in drag and does the hula. That was actually my fave part of the movie. I started to wonder if the Broadway Timon had to do the same thing. That’s when I saw Racetrack with grass skirt on and a cigar hanging out his mouth, singing that lulout (I can’t spell) song Timon sings.

Kenny Ortega, the wonderful director that made the greatest movie in the world. *kneels down* I bow down to you, Mr. Ortega. Ortega! Ortega! *starts carving out statue of him* But, that is just my opening…Ortega reminds me of food. But, what doesn’t? Has anyone ever heard of Ortega Salsa? I have *questions other half of brain* yep, I have! Anyhoo, that means Kenny Ortega is a salsa!!!!!! I feel a conspiracy coming on. He directs pretty good for a salsa. But, if Kenny is a salsa, then I can dip Kale into him. We’re actually have MUSHrooms tonight for dinner. Geez, is everything related to newsies have to do with foooooooooood!

"Why don’ ya ast Mistah Pulitzer!" This comes from the big mouth of you know who - that’s right - Weasel. Stick his disgusting finger in his mouth - Weasel. Uncle of the stinking Delancey brothers - Weasel. We knows he’s gross. I can’t stand him and I know probably all of you can’t either *hehehehehe* Anyway, when I was watching Newsies (when do I not watch Newsies), I noticed something. In the scene where Weasel is bringing Jack down into the basement of the distribution office, that’s where I noticed something *takes out binoculars*. Weasel walks like the Penguin (this isn’t a Pinkguin moment) in Batman Forever. He wobbles and sticks his arms out like they were flippers. It’s too funny (I can find humor in basically anything). So, as always, I started thinking of other stuff. That’s when a song came in my head - Pop Goes the Weasel! Now, I see Morris Delancey scratching his head stupidly, (Morris is the one who looks most apeist) and takeing out a really long silvery needle/pin thingy and poking Weasel in his pot belly. POP GOES THE WEASEL! Weasel deflates and goes flying around New York like a popped balloon. *te he*

Warning for Denton or Davey lovers- This is poking fun at Denton and Davey and their unspoken thing they might or might not of had. If you don’t like to read about it, don't read it. It’s not worth reading if you’re going to get upset over it. I thank you for your corporation. *tips hat to you in thankfulness*
*walks into lodging house and leans on Kloppy’s desk with a file in hand* Denton, Davey………*glance round room* Teddy Roosevelt? Oh, may! Everyone knows of the Denton/Davey conspiracy. Who would not see the ‘tension’ between those two *hint hint*. But, I have heard from a reliable source *winks at Pinkguin* that there has been a third party ‘involved’ with the two. It is no other than Teddy Roosevelt! *audience gasp in shock* Yes, our own Teddy Bear. But, how do you know, you ask. Just look at the facts. When Denton is in Teddy Bear’s office, Teddy calls him Denty. *more gasp from audience* Mistake?! I think not. Denty is only a pet name for Denton from Teddy. Is Davey jealous? I’d say so! Teddy is taking Denton away from him. That’s why they never show Davey in the end when Teddy shows up. He’s too heartbroken to be shone because he’d make the movie seems so sad. But, Davey all the sudden changes his mind. He doesn’t love Denton anymore, he loves Jack (whoa! I was fixing to write Jake [I’m Jake happy!;`] there instead of Jack. I gotta watch what I’m doing).

We all know how in the scene where Jack is riding the horse (Santa Fe! Are ya there?!), and how his hat somehow gets back on his head like a *second* later! Well, there’s been some more reports of the newsies’ hats getting back on their head a *second* later. Take for instance Kid Blink at the rally when Jack is trying to escape. He runs up to Jack and says "Jack! Ya all right?" The they run outside and a *second* later, his hat is on his head! Then, there’s Jake. Yes, JAKE! (*hehehe* I keep my eye on him) Where all the guys are sitting on the steps of the distribution center and they’re waiting for Jack to decide what to do. Well, the sec right before Weasel goes "World employees on this side of the gate", Jake has his hat on, but in the next *sec* he has it off. Where am I going with this? I have no idea! Just kidding…;`) I tried my best to figure this out. No, it wasn’t the production crews fault. (Don’t spoil my fun!) I figured that the newsies have - ya ready for this - MAGIC HATS!!!! Yes, magic hats. That’s how they’re hats get on their heads soooooo fast in just a split *sec*!! That’s another reason why they’re hats don’t fall off their heads while their dancing. And, where do they get these magic hats? From Kloppman, of course! Because, Kloppman is a giant magic elf!

I got to thinking when I was listening to the soundtrack last night about that line "The World will feel the fire and finally know". That line has always bugged me. I don’t know why, but it does. So, I was thinking about what if the newsies bomb Pulitzer’s building like in Independence Day. Yeah I mentioned it before, but I have more to say!
This is my longest one!
Picture it:
Denton is the commander. "We will get rid of Pulitzer with our army of newsies".
Pulitzer is up in his little sanctuary smoking his cigars. His hand gestures are out of control. He’s poking everything! "I’ll break you! Shut up! Go home!" He shouts out the window from the top of the building where no one can actually hear him!
Jack is the bomber. "Let’s kick some Pulitzer Prize butt!"
Davey is uh…there. "Oh Jack, be careful! Come home to me!" ((*screams* Wisecracks, you are corrupting my mind!))
Sarah is walking around on the street ‘er run way when Jack pulls the bomber out of Tibby’s and takes off running over Sarah. "Opps, sorry about that!"
Blink, Mush, and Race are dressed in cheerleader outfits yelling, "Jack! Jack! He’s our man! If he can’t do, no one can!"
Jonathan ((that bald guy)) is fluttering around going, "The World is ending!" Pulitzer walks up to him and smacks him over the head. A little Mexican jumping bean pops out of Jonathan’s head and he is dead now.
Les is sword fighting with Snipes when a frog jumps out of Snipes mouth and he can speak like a normal child his age now.
Skittery turns into a snake and slithers away. ((Uh, don’t know where that came from but oh well))
Jack flies over Pulitzer’s building. He bombs it. It blows up. That’s the end of Pulitzer and his goonies. The newsies won the strike and there was much rejoice. Yay! Roosevelt and Denton run off to Aruba together. Jack is a hero. Davey is……no! Blink, Mush, and Race start to do the can-can with Clink’s little lavender men. Everyone else is happy. The end!
Whoa! What a provoking newsie thought that was. GEEZ!

I have come to a conclusion that Mush ((yay Mushie baby!)), Pie Eater, Bumlets, and Snoddy have springs in their feet. Okay, if ya just watch when they jump up on that table `er counter `er whatever - they jump from like really low and the table is REALLY high! My dad just loves that part. I know Mush probably has some really good springs b/c he just hops around 10 feet in the air all the time! Then there's Bumlets and Pie Eater leaping about in TWWK. Just look how they bounce off that pavement. *plays the movie in slow motion* Whoa! *pauses it* That's cool! *leaps around in a Bumlets/Pie Eater manner like Daphne does* Plus, all those guys do the flipping and gymnastics junk in the movie. I tell ya *leans in and whispers* springs!

I look at the old guy wearing the Civil War uniform - the Yankees ‘er something. He stands there and watches the newsies sing and dance. He looked pretty amused too. I noticed something about that guy though! In the middle of TWWK, you can just see him running in front of the newsies screaming, "March into battle troops". But, the newsies - not realizing what their doing b/c they’re so hyped up about dancing in the street and not looking strange from it - knocks the old guy down and walks onto of him. If you listening closely, you can hear him going, "Help me. *the old guys hand raises up* Help me, troops. This is the battle of Gettiesburg all over again." And, the newsies are happily singing "The World Will Know". With that, Pulitzer sees his old war friend laying in the street and snickers *whispers* b/c he’s kinda screwed in the head.
