I wonder if Donna and her friends even know what the sovereign citizen movement is.

[Joey Smith]

Wow, I thought he was dead. Didn't he get killed in a hail of bullets from a couple of hundred federal agents all firing automatic weapons at him?

[Judge Roy Bean]

Of course. On that side of the Pecos y'all have administrative segregation.

Here we call it the dumbs*** cell.

[Nikki]

Is pending investigation of a violation of Bureau regulations
...
You have been placed in Administrative Detention Pending Captain Review. Threat Management sovereign citizen.

Is it any surprise that Danny is not playing well with others within the prison system?

The likelihood of him accumulating any "good time" toward early release is somewhat less than slim-to-none.

Well, it looks like being a sovereign citizen doesn't save your ass from a beatdown.



And I beg to differ, Donna. He's being placed there not because he was told he was a sovereign citizen, it's because he's been telling everyone in the joint he's a sovereign citizen - and that never fails to impress Chainsaw, Bubba and Bear.

This train wreck keeps on piling up. Danny, having started down this path (or perhaps track is a better metaphor), seems unable to stop or change his path. At this point I don't know whether or not this is a black comedy or a Greek Tragedy.

[Thule]

At this point I don't know whether or not this is a black comedy or a Greek Tragedy.

Gather now, and listen to this tale of woe. The Tragedy of Dannymedes, greatest of Heroes, scion of the great men of the family Colonrilys, the only man brave enough to walk the Hound of Edifos Brownestes.

Struck down by the Fates at his moment of triumph, punished for his pride, forever doomed to walk the earth. In his own eyes, mighty as Heracles, just as Solon, eloquent as Pericles. But alas, to others, Dannymedes is met with a disgust. A Harpy they see, a mind below that of Polyphemos they sense, a drunken chattering like the Silenoi they hear. Such is the nature of the curse.

Let us humble thespians now recreate the sorrow and confusion, as Dannymedes stumbles around, and the gods themselves poke him with pointy sticks and giggles at the mess he makes.

[Judge Roy Bean]

Now that is funny, Thule.

[ErsatzAnatchist]

Fricken Brilliant.

Thule, Greek Playwright of Quatloos, I award you a stipend of 20 Quatloos to put on the play.

[Thule]

Much obliged, thank you both.

Now, on my way home, I realized that we should explore the peculiar relationship between the gods, Dannymedes and the fates. As in most greek tragedies, the common theme is the vice of hybris, pride and disrespect to the gods. The gods can be quite sarcastic, they are quick to anger, and not that subtle. So let us jump to the final scene of act two.

(Background: The smoldering ruins of the city of Brownaea)

Narrator: And Dannymedes woke up, bewildered and mightly hurt. The thunderbolts had struck him down and left a nasty little bruise. Still, Dannymedes lived, the strength of his ancestors still intact. It was at this moment Wiberges, the Messenger, arrived.

(Enter Wiberges, stage left)

Wiberges: Turn around, Dannymedes. Do you not see the horrors you are facing. Do you not hear the lies you have been fed. Like Icarus, you are to close to the face of Helios, you will burn, then crash, then burn again. Open your eyes, oh noble Dannymedes.

Narrator: And Dannymedes pondered the message. Surely there had been a lot of suffering, and what had become of it. His friend had deserted him, his banishment seemed a given. But alas, at the distant island of Ultimo Horizon, the Fates heard the musings of Dannymedes. Aghast, they took to the air, fearing the loss of their champion.

(Enter Fates, stage left)

Fates: Do not listen Dannymedes, can you not feel the venom in his words? He seeks to pull you down, Dannymedes. You are the great one, the Sovereign. Hold fast, Dannymedes, repeat the magic words, and your enemies shall fall. The world will hail your wisdom and sing your praise, Dannymedes.

Narrator: And Dannymedes embraced the cruel fates, drunk on their sweet promises and beguiling tales. And Dannymedes stood up, faced his tormentors, and his mighty voice boomed.

Dannymedes: I have copyrighted my name, you all owe me 500.000 drachma.

(Scene change, gentle mountain slopes , gods, numerous dryads, prancing centaurs and such)

Narrator: Upon the slopes of Mt Quatlympia, in their lush groves, the gods looked bevildered.

Gods (among themselves): Well, that was smart. I mean, he could have saved himself a lot of time, instead he just acts like a moron. Yup, I mean, what can we do, it's in his own hands, and he just keeps on messing things up. Oh well, should provide a laugh and a half. Pass the ambrosia, this could take some time.

(End scene)

[Demosthenes]

That's a mighty odd talent you have there, Thule.

[webhick]

That's a mighty odd talent you have there, Thule.

Very much so!

I'd like to submit an early suggestion for title: Tragedian of Sovereign Mythology

[Thule]

I'd like to submit an early suggestion for title: Tragedian of Sovereign Mythology

Hm, I like the sound of that.

[Demosthenes]

And so it shall be.

[Waves magic wand in a slightly menacing fashion at the screen]

[grixit]

Epilog:

(back on Quatlympos)

1st Stowaway: But wait! You elders earlier prophesied that Dannymedes would end his adventure by being "cast into the Labyrinth". Surely this little confinement cannot be so described.

Ouebixos: You are new to these heights, and perhaps unused to the rarified wit that wafts through our pure air. Look deeper at the doomed one, deeper inside.

1st Stowaway: Ah, i see now! He is inside the Labyrinth because the Labyrinth is inside him!

(scene change: Dannymedes stumbles through blackness, ocassionally hitting an unseen wall)

(enter the Dog, ex machina)

Dannymedes: Oh Holy Dog, axial point of my existence! Please, advise me.

Dog: You are in a maze of twisty little delusions, all alike in futility!

(exit Dog)

(end)

[Thule]

1st Stowaway: Ah, i see now! He is inside the Labyrinth because the Labyrinth is inside him!

Ooohhh, that's good tragedy.

[webhick]

1st Stowaway: Ah, i see now! He is inside the Labyrinth because the Labyrinth is inside him!

Ooohhh, that's good tragedy.

I'm still trying to ascertain into which orifice they crammed the minotaur.

Which begs the question: How many shoehorns does it take for the minotaur to get to the center of the Dogwalker? I guess we'll never know.

[Judge Roy Bean]

And so it shall be.

[Waves magic wand in a slightly menacing fashion at the screen]

Magic wand??

Funny, I envisioned you wielding something more like the spear of destiny, not some dinky little magic wand.

[Gregg]

okay, who put the E in the coffe pot this morning?

[grixit]

Webhick, as always.
