Grignr charged towards the portal portal.

[pasithea]

gentle_gamer had never read The Eye of Argon before. So I tortured her.

But then I hit that line. "portal portal" ... Oh dear... That has a new context now, doesn't it?

And then it was in my head... The end song of Portal but about Eye of Argon.

Rippling thews/Massive hairy chest/Grignr's mount heaves heavily/Soldier with blinding foot of steel through chest/Twenty minutes spent describing a wall sconce./Too many adverbs, and adjectives, oh my./Golden bands are wrapped around his thigh/Here comes Mrifk. How it's pronounced, I don't know/but it looks like Grignr's getting locked up without trading a blow/Now he's in the Stygian pits and tearing rats to bits and there's still 20 pages to go...

etc.

It's too easy. Too painful.

Then ... think about it... Imagine GlaDDoS reading The Eye of Argon to you. It seems like something she'd do. That happy sing-song voice....

I'm not going to think about this post ever again.

Imagine GlaDDoS reading The Eye of Argon to you.

Don't have to. At Anthrocon, I did precisely this to the room. I read a full page of The Eye of Argon in GLaDOS' voice.

There was laughter. There was cheering. One guy nearly passed out from laughing so hard.

You realise you must team up with tracerj and a musician to make a music video, right?
