"Sheldon Swifties XXVI: "The Christine McIntyre Supplement…"
Summary: Brief bits, not necessarily connected…Similar to my Buffyverse "Immortal Beloved" series…Possibly related to the idea that sooner or later I plan to pit Sheldon against junior adult fiction's greatest inventor…

"Leonard just told me about their new theme for this year's comic book store costume thing…I can't believe of all of us you're a Three Stooges fan, Bernadette…" Penny grinned…Shaking head…
"Yeah…" Bernadette, a bit grimly…
"I gotta admit…I'm a little sorry I won't be Wonder Woman this year…" Penny…
"Uh…Huh…" Bernadette, grimmer…
Amy seated on Penny's sofa, nervously eyeing the oblivious Penny…
"God, I can't wait to see the fellas…But what's Sheldon going as…Shemp…Or Curly?..."
"Sheldon?...He's going as Ted Healy, the creator and original manager of the Three Stooges who was beaten to death in a barroom quarrel over gambling debts by famed actor Wallace Beery, and Albert R. Broccoli, later producer of James Bond films, and notorious gangster Pat DiCicco…" Amy explained…
Curly…Please… "Leonard's much more the Curly type…" she noted quietly to Bernadette… "Now, Shemp…Perhaps…Sheldon does have that fun-loving, devil-may-care, nonchalance…"
"Right…" Penny nodded… Shrugging…"But I guess I'm out this year…"
"I wouldn't say so…" Bernadette, grimmer than ever… "Seems you're very much…In…"
"Huh?..."
"As if you could ever take a cream pie in the face, let alone manage to sing your way through 'Voices of Spring'…" Bernadette, muttering…Suddenly rising and racing off for the bathroom…
"Huh?..." Penny, staring after her…
"I tried to give you the 'high' sign…" Amy sighed… "You're the boys' choice for their Christine McIntyre…I'm afraid you edged our Strawberries out of the part she's always secretly longed to play…"
"I did…?" Penny, blinking… "But I didn't even know I was up for it…" Slight repressed grin…
C'mon I'm an actress…Competitive spirit over roles is in my blood…
"Please…Tall, blonde…And you're dating the lead Stooge…" Amy frowned…
"I had no idea…" Penny grabbed buzzing phone from pocket… "Yo, homeboy…"
"It's Leonard…" she grinned to Amy's stare…
"Uh, no…I can't right now, Leonard…" she told the phone… "What?...Oh, ok…One minute…Amy?...Maybe you should go check on Bernadette…Tell her I'm really sorry, I didn't have any idea about this…"
"What, me?...But she's angry at you…"
"Yeah, but…You were her maid of honor…It's implied in the office…Come on, you've seen the maid of honor in wedding movies…" Penny, hastily…
"Really?...Well, if that's part of the job…Hmmn…You'll have to identify these movies for me, I guess I should've watched them before accepting the weighty responsibility of my position…" Amy rose and made for the bathroom…
"Ok, but really quick… 'Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I hear the voice of spring anew…'…" Penny began, keeping voice down…
"What?...Yes, Leonard, I know we rehearsed it all week…"
