Previously in The Love Triangle

Tatiana the Chicken struggles to dive into the underwater depths of the Dead Sea.

Tatiana whips out a bottle and writes off a quick note indicating the coordinates of the sunken treasure. She places the message into the bottle as fast as she can. Then she drowns.

Francoise frowns as she watches the bottle sore up, up and away with the heavier body of Tatiana the Chicken following close behind.

Osama is roused by a strange plopping splash to his right. He peers over the side of the boat and sees a bottle in the water.

Bugsy hang glides and spies the life boat and takes offense. He releases himself from his safety harness and plummets downward with a war cry.

Osama feels he must save the psycho cat from himself and proceeds to knock him out using the bottle. He drags Bugsy out of the water and ties him up for safekeeping.

Episode Three

Music

Naomi the Lawn Gnome always wanted to travel. So in spite of the fact that she is rather lost at sea and drifting along completely at the mercy of the currents of the Atlantic Ocean, she finds that she is quite happy to be out and away. Life on the lawn of the awfully dysfunctional Bowtani family had grown tiresome as of late. So instead of feeling annoyed that the daughter of the family threw her into the ocean whilst out boating with her friends a few weeks back, Naomi decides she will be grateful. She has already met some interesting sea creatures. The pod of dolphins she met last Sunday were most delightful. They even swam along with her for a while and sang a few tunes.

Naomi happily sings to herself as she drifts along. Having long heard numerous Best of the Eighties tunes blaring out from the windows of the Bowtani home, Naomi decides upon "YMCA" for her song of the moment and gleefully sings out loud. There is no one around to tell her not to, so why not?

Her voice carries across the waves to the rubber lifeboat of Osama bin Goaten, Junior, where it reaches the ears of Bugsy the Psycho Cat. Osama watches with a startled look as the cat is instantly mollified and actually begins purring.

The strange cat spits out the top of the broken bottle and looks up at Osama. "Hello," he says. "I'm Bugsy."

Osama blinks at the rapid demeanor change. "My name is Osama."

Bugsy tilts his head and considers the goat. "Are you from Afghanistan?"

Osama's eyes narrow a slight bit. "Originally, yes," he replies warily. "Why?"

Bugsy shrugs. "Simply wondering how you ended up in a lifeboat in the Atlantic Ocean is all."

Osama looks sheepish. "Well there was a bit of feud and then there was a Seabunny but that didn't end well." He frowns to himself.

Bugsy nods and looks around the lifeboat. He tilts his head. "There appears to be hole in the bottom of your boat."

Osama arches an eyebrow. "Yes, you put them there."

Bugsy looks up at the goat. "Oh." He looks down at the deflating bottom. "Oops."

While over yonder way, across the continent of Europe and much of Russia and the Indian subcontinent, all the way to the Himalayas is where the next part of our story goes. Francoise has journeyed to the land of Tibet to perform a most extraordinary task. She has set out to locate the fabled Abominable Snowman for one purpose only: to kill him and present him as a love token to Raul!
