Cheepnis. Let me tell you something, do you like movies?
(YEAH!)
I love movies, I simply adore monster movies, And the they are, the better they are. And cheepnis in the case of a movie has nothing to do with the budget of the film, it helps. But true cheepnis is exemplified by visible strings attached to the jaw of a giant spider. tell you, a one that I saw one time, I think the name of the was "It conquered the world" (YEAH! ) And the... Did you ever see that The monster looks sort of like an ice-cream corn with teeth around the bottom. It looks a, like a teepee or a sort of a rounded off affair. And ah, it's got fangs on the of it, I don't why but it's a very threatening sight. And he's got a frown and, you know, ugly mouth and everything, And there's one scene where the ah monster is coming out of a cave. See? There's always a scene they come out of a cave, at least once. And the of the cast... it musta been around the 1950's. The lapels are about like th at wide, The ties are about that and about this short, And they always have a little revolver that they're shoot the with. And there is always a girl who falls down and twists her ankle. Hey hey! Of course is! You know how they are, the sex and everything, Twisting ankle on behalf of a little ice-cream corn. Well in this particular scene, In scene folks, they ah, they didn't wanna re-take it 'cause it been so good they wanted to it, but they... When the monster came out of the cave, just over on the left hand of the screen you can see about this much two-by-four attached to the of the Thing as the guy is pushing it out, And then obviously off-camera somebody's "No! Get it back!" ... and they it back just a little bit as the guy is goin': "KCH! KCH!" Now cheepnis.
Right. And this is cheepnis One two three four...
