Clowns Paint and Religion

"Home is where the Heart is. When you move be sure to remove the heart from your house and install it in a new one, if the SA node is damaged, purchase a pace maker from StrexCorp. Welcome to Dessert Bluffs."

"It is a lovely day today in Dessert Bluffs. We would like to give a warm welcome to The Crocker Corporation, who've finished a business deal in which they bought our StrexCorp Synergists Incorporated."

"I for one would like to welcome the Crocker Corporation to our quaint little town. Tab and Cake Mix are flooding our stores, and I'd like to remind you, purchasing it is mandatory."

"I tell you, it has been a vigorous legal battle, StrexCorp wanted to stay independent, but they seem to have given in when their central headquarters was, and I quote, 'Bombarded with hellfire from the outer space, probably a spaceship of some kind'."

"Haha, that's Crocker Corp. for you."

"Crocker Corp: Submit, obey, buy stuff, or else."

"In other news, the Trolls from the nation of Alternia will be visiting our town early this year. Normally these highbloods come to our town on their religious pilgrimage, in the Autumn, but they've made the trip earlier, possibly in anticipation of our town's newly acquired Crocker industries."

"We've actually scheduled an interview with one after the Weather. I'd like to remind you of our cultural differences. We need to respect the Highblood's use of language, in spite of our censorship laws. Russel, our censor, had his spine snapped by the last highblood for bleeping out his curse words. Still I encourage you to have your children away from the radio, because while respecting their culture is important, it is equally important that we keep our children's ears from such language."

"In sports news, The Dessert Bluff's Vultures went up against the Night Vale Scorpions last Saturday. I must say it was an impressive showing by our lovely rival town Night Vale. Both teams were excellent in fact, and that made for an enjoyable game. Michael Sandero, the jewel of the Scorpions, now with only one head, scored the winning touchdown, and broke the neck's of two of our halfbacks. Congratulations to the Scorpions for their victory, and better luck next time to our Vultures."

"While normally a loss of such caliber would have the entire team report to the board of behavioral corrections, our new benevolent Crocker Corp has elected not to have them go in a statement today.

"i don't care a boat" and yes, it is written as a boat, the kind you sail in, how strange, "any of ur football soccer junk."

"Lucky break Vultures."

"We'll be back with traffic, and now a word from our sponsor. I've just been informed that all our ads have been edited by our delightful Crocker corp. and will be played as such."

"Mold, we all see it we all have a problem with it. Sometimes mold get's into your sink, sometimes it rots your house (OBEY), sometimes it won't pay rent, and will resist (CONSUME) any and all attempts for the police to remove it. Hi, I'm Billy Mays, resurrected by our kind Quisling Guy Fiere (CEASE REPRODUCTION), and I'm here to tell you about OxiClean. (BUY TAB) OxiClean can get rid of all your problems. Got annoying mold, use OxiClean, killing it will not constitute as murder. Do you have stains that won't go away, use OxiClean, it's patented (OBEY) chemicals will remove any and all stains. Do you have too much free will, OxiClean will wash your brain good (OKAY T)(IS IS FINE ACTUALLY, LISTEN TO THE MAN WITH THE FUNNY VOICE). If you're not satisfied with OxiClean, you may return it in 30 days or less and receive a full refund (NO LONGER APPLIES). If you want a free demo of OxiClean just call StrexCorp. (CROCKER CORP. NOW), simply whisper into your keyhole, and a representative from a very well known, yet friendly looking, corporate organization will come with your free demo. Call Now (FIS)( PUNS AR-E AW-ESOM-E)."

"And we're back with traffic."

"Traffic has backed up on the eastbound highway as a circle of Alternians has been formed, praying in devotion to their double god. Any one who get's near the scene is quickly killed, and their blood used to paint the idol they've made. Said idol appears to be a cue ball on a pool stick."

"There has been a car accident on 3rd street. Officials encourage drivers to avoid it, and not assist the injured drivers because, "they probably deserved it for bad driving"."

"4th street and 5th are clear, 4th will provide a detour. 6th street no longer exists, 7th street will henceforth be known as 6th street, 8th will be known as 7th and so on. 9th street, formerly 10th street, will be closed at 4:00 til midnight for a party dedicated to the Mithful Messiahs."

"And now, great listeners, I happily take you to the weather."

Had a future like a Condesce

Not a future like a troll

Dont care if I lost the chance

There I'm in control

Crocker Drones, battleships

Wanna start a war

Thats the queen you'd fight for

I'm miss regal pink batter, batter witch

Fight me with your lasers

Cut you like a stitch

I'm miss regal pink batter, batter witch

I'm gonna be your CrockerCorp Bitch

I'm gonna be your CrockerCorp Bitch

Hivebent, trident, I wont be your maid

Death gave me some options

So I will not be dismayed

Grab the gold, grab the cold, glory, here I come

All for number 1

To all my dead friends, I need platoons

Ill give anything, just not doubloons

To all my dead friends, you're being mean

Welcome to the life of the royal queen

I think I want your, your skull as my crown

I think you're gonna be so going down

Oh oh oh

I'm miss regal pink batter, batter witch

Fight me with your lasers

Cut you like a stitch

I'm miss regal pink batter, batter witch

I'm gonna be your CrockerCorp Bitch

I'm gonna be your CrockerCorp Bitch

"And we're back, hope you didn't miss me, I missed you."

"Now we have the Grand Highblood, Gamzee Makara, in the studio, he walked in during the weather, or, rather he threw intern ben through the soundproof window and climbed in. Crocker corp. has replaced the window and we will continue. How are you doing Mr. Makara."

KEVIN: "Yes, I seem to have gone to Night Vale when that Sandstorm came, or so StrexCorp. told me. The place is far too dry and the equipment is too old. I feel sorry for our dear neighbors. Have you run into any problems?"

KEVIN: "We're sorry about the drones, StrexCorp was only trying to see if they could resist tank fire.

GAMZEE: fuck strexcorp they died in righteous royal fire from the battleship condescension

GAMZEE: ANYWAY THE TEMPLE WAS FINISHED THIS SUMMER. TODAY IS A DAY OF WORSHIP, THE TEMPLE IS PAINTED BEAUTIFUL RED, THE RAREST OF RED ON MY PLANET. WE WILL BEGIN THE CEREMONY AND WORSHIP THE TRUE MIRTHFUL MESSIAHS. WE WILL BUY ALL THE FAYGO ALL OF IT

KEVIN: "Faygo has been marked down in preparation for this ceremony, StrexCorp's last act of defiance."

GAMZEE: when we give our thanks to the gods of double death, we shall cull the blasphemous, the unworthy and the weak. righteous purple will be added to the walls of red, their bones will become the stardust we need for our miracles

GAMZEE: THIS WILL BE THE MOTHERFUCKIN SHIT

KEVIN: "Well, that sounds like a lovely ceremony. It's been a while since the last culling we've seen here."

GAMZEE: well this culling's gonna be all sorts of wicked fun. all humans we can round up will go to the first messiah, and our own blood shall be placed to the second we will-
