Well Mint Fest, I'm not sure anyone should be having that much fun whilst still being able to call it 'work'. What an amazing, inspiring and completely bonkers weekend! It was a little bit like someone had broken reality and we loved it! But more than anything we would like to say thank you to the good people of Kendal for writing this, the most bizarre but strangely comprehensible Tall Tale that we have ever had the pleasure of typing up. It begins with cabbage disease, takes in aardvarks and banana barons, and ends with the overthrowing of government by a large angry cloud man. Who could ask for more?
THE MINT FEST 2014 TALL TALE
Written one word at a time by Marvellous MintFesters
Cabbage disease is taking over our green, luscious plentiful landscape. Inebriation of every living turtle; enormous, moveable cheeky knees. She laughed chocolate and opened her large protruding wings comfortably, threateningly. Gosh! An aardvark (not an armadillo) green and lizard crawling along the bank, went kissing in vain. Instead, the aardvark swam anxiously towards the enormous scary crocodile. Frightened, he got eaten and his eye popped out.
“Oh heck” said he, “Help!”.
And he called his friend Richard, who worked in Greggs.
“Um, er, I need help NOW!!!”
“Tractor, or a pasty?”
But then, BANG! He went insane.
Luckily Mandy, his disciple, thwarted evil. Wow! Alisdair went to the temple of bananas. However he opened the banana, he picked it up and it was a telephone. Sweeties rained down from a purple pig- an awkward situation. How would we eat them all?
“Quite easily” said Tom. “Yum, yum, yum”>
Then the baron of banana tower ate all the sweeties, then marshmallows. Concurrently, the crocopython saved the turtle called Kevin. Suddenly, out of the river came a humpback dolphin, who eats snail pasta. He burps… and sinks and shouts
“Help! I am stuck beneath an elephant” who sank magnificently underwater.
A quadrilateral snail-bird, swimming, fell down the waterfall and hit his shell, but he turned over and swam upstream. Bubbles spilled unexpectedly from the mouth.
“Oh dear. Next time we should make something better. HOT DOG!” he shouted, “Help me!”.
Suddenly an eruption engulfed the end of his head and burnt a hole in his toupee, which was on a pig called Dan who… was smelly and unbelievably fat, but very tasty. Hippercrocadollapig’s fun-house dog jumped high among the Space Unicorns, shooting marshmallows at an army of men. Suddenly they squashed her helmet because plums ate grass. Unfortunately, sheep had brains, which exploded!
Quadrilateral snail bird jumped a cache, squashed a tomato sandwich flat. Bob, who doesn’t portray himself very well, hid in a duck that poops jelly beans supercalifragalisticexpialidociously. Fell-shoes, who gobbles caterpillars, collects snow-globes and poo, throws shoes gently at Ewan. Cloudman throws clouds, hailstones and raindrops at the government, because he was drunk and angry.
