Shearing the sheds of Black Sheep
Shop talk
Another one down at the Comic Shop and for those who are on the mailing list, the giveaway to see the film, Black Sheep is done and over.
And when a giveaway wraps up, the shearing of the wool comes along in picking through the clumps at a few of the answers from the winners and shearers.
Who's the black sheep in your family or set of friends?
Self deprecation was a bit on the high ratio here as the answers were a little on variants of "Me" with even a nice little reason why. Of course, if not the self, it's a younger sibling for all their awkwardness and general corner funking up skills in the house.
"Black sheep in the family?"
"Why? Who lives in the shed this week, papa?"
Name one thing that comes from sheep
What's the first thing that comes to mind when dealing with sheep? Abattoirs naturally. Meat and lamb chops on the menu here. Wool clumps dropping all over the place as the shaving continues apace.
What comes next with a film about sheep in Middle Earth? Jokes and riffs on the New Zealanders themselves. Baby Kiwis and hernias on this section of the emergency ward.
Complete your version of this lyric...
So the old nursery rhyme hands out bags of wool to people such as "One for the master, and one for the dame, and one for the ..." and the whole thing from like the gates at the farm are wide open.
People who shall be in abundance of wool and that particular knitting supply includes the likes of crackheads, mutants, idiot drivers and even Stalin's iron rule. What a spectrum.
That's it for this promo and thanks again to Dendy Cinemas and Icon Films for the double passes.
Stay tuned to your inbox for the next time a competition comes along and you're in for the thrill of finding yourself a winner for your genius. Is funny, is good material for the win.
For the win people!
