Micah (Knob Twister): 0:06

Welcome to Tales of Bedlam. I'm your host, knob Twister. I'm Stroll Peter, don't give this story away. We're a fairy tale audio comedy and this is our final special episode for Halloween. This is our final special episode for Halloween, you're welcome. Today's tales yes, tales, that's plural, numerous Was first published in 1845. Holy crap, struwelpil, struwelpeter, struwelpeter, stru-well-peter, stru-well-peter, loosely translated as Shockhead Peter, has become widely recognized as one of the most popular and influential children's books ever written. I never heard of it, which I find hard to believe because I have not found it until last night, and of two years of folklore and fairy tale research, I had never heard of it.

Micah (Knob Twister): 1:10

Not that I'm an expert on it but I don't know anything about it anyway, I try not to read gruesome stories from my kids this is a little different story than what we would normally do, but we find the endings of these children's stories to be horrifying, so it fits well with our Halloween spectacular.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 1:36

Am I getting royalties for the sound effects?

Micah (Knob Twister): 1:39

The author, a German man named Henrik Huffman, was a Frankfurt physician. Dissatisfied with the lack of luster books available for children at the time, he wrote and illustrated talented man Stroflpeter. Stroflpeter, stroflpeter. As a Christmas present for his three-year-old son Horrible. The book opens with this poem. When the children have been good, that is, be it understood, good at mealtimes, good at play, good all night and good all day, they shall have the pretty things Merry Christmas always brings.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 2:28

But, there's more. It starts out kind of nice.

Micah (Knob Twister): 2:30

Naughty romping girls and boys tear their clothes and make a noise, spoil their pinafores and frocks and deserve no Christmas box. Jerks Such as these shall never look at this pretty picture book.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 2:48

Oh, the naughty ones don't get the book.

Micah (Knob Twister): 2:50

Yes, the book relates in verse and pictures the often gruesome consequences that befall children who torment animals, play with matches, suck their thumbs or refuse to eat.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 3:05

This is terrible parenting.

Micah (Knob Twister): 3:07

So I think, without further ado, we should indulge.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 3:12

Jump right in, let's do it.

Micah (Knob Twister): 3:16

The first of the six stories that we will recite to you from this children's book is. Cruel Frederick Cruel. Here is Cruel Frederick. See, a horrid, wicked boy was he. He caught the flies, poor little things, and then tore off their tiny wings. Oh what.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 3:43

That's sociopathic behavior.

Micah (Knob Twister): 3:45

It gets better.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 3:46

He killed birds and broke the chairs and threw the kitten down the stairs. What, no? And oh, far worse than all beside, he whipped his Mary till she cried who's his Mary?

Micah (Knob Twister): 3:59

Mother, what, what.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 4:04

He beat his mother till. She cried apparently Jerk.

Micah (Knob Twister): 4:09

The trough was full and faithful. Trey. I should say Trey is a dog, so maybe we should change that to Fido. What?

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 4:17

do you think that's not going to rhyme?

Micah (Knob Twister): 4:19

Well, okay, the trough was full and faithful. Trey Fido came out to drink one sultry day. Fido, who wagged his tail and wet his lip, wind cruel Fred snatched up a whip. This is terrible.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 4:38

And whipped poor Trey till he was sore and kicked and whipped him more and more. No, Stop hitting the dog At this. Goodtree grew very red and growled and bit him till he bled. Yay.

Micah (Knob Twister): 4:52

Good job, fido, fido. Then you should only have been by to see how Fred did scream and cry. Good job, puppy. I would like to mention the awesome pictures that I have here.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 5:09

This is an audio podcast.

Micah (Knob Twister): 5:11

Well, how would you describe this illustration?

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 5:18

Childish.

Micah (Knob Twister): 5:20

Yes, that is exactly how I would describe it. I think I could draw better with my eyes partially closed.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 5:30

Oh my gosh, this is awful. Oh, so Frederick had to go to bed. His leg was very sore and red. The doctor came and shook his head.

Micah (Knob Twister): 5:41

And made a very great to-do and gave him Gnastic Psychic and gave him nasty physic too.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 5:51

That must be medicine, or maybe a physical he gave him the full body cavity surgery. Whoa For a dog bite. That seems odd.

Micah (Knob Twister): 6:04

Well, do you see the picture of this guy? He looks like he drives a tinted van.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 6:13

He needs to stay about 500 yards from schools for sure, but good dog Trey is happy now. He has no time to say bow-wow. He seats himself in Frederick's chair and laughs to see the nice things there, the soupy swallows, sup by sup, and eats the pies and puddings up. Yay, pido, that was the end. It had a good ending. So he, oh man.

Micah (Knob Twister): 6:38

Do you think this kid may have learned his lesson?

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 6:42

Um, I don't know. After the body cavity search by the doctor, perhaps, but I doubt it because he's a sociopath well, let's, let's do another one. This would be number two the story of little suck it just gets a little worse as we go along.

Micah (Knob Twister): 7:00

Sweet, and by worse I mean horrifying. This is the story of Little Suck-a-Thumb.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 7:08

One day Mama said Conrad, dear, I must go out and leave you here. But mind now, Conrad, what I say. Don't suck your thumb while I'm away. What?

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 7:23

This picture is so out of proportion.

Micah (Knob Twister): 7:25

It's ridiculous, Like the trunk of his body is two times too large.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 7:31

His legs are super short. Okay, it won't get inside.

Micah (Knob Twister): 7:35

He has no knees.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 7:37

That's weird. Man the great, tall tailor always comes to little boys who suck their thumbs and ere they dream what he's about. He takes his great sharp scissors out and cuts their thumbs clean off and then you know they never grow again. Mama had scarcely turned her back. The thumb was in Alack, alack. This is like evil.

Micah (Knob Twister): 8:01

Dr Seuss. The door flew open In. He ran. The door flew open In. He ran Whoa, the great long, red-legged scissor man. Oh my god, oh children, see the tailors come and caught out little suck a thumb. He cut both thumbs off.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 8:22

Shh, we haven't got there yet Snip, snap, snip, the scissors go. And Conrad cries out oh, oh, oh, oh, Snip, snap, snip, they go so fast that both his thumbs are off at last.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 8:37

Oh my gosh.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 8:39

This guy's reading this to his three-year-old yes.

Micah (Knob Twister): 8:43

Well, unless his three-year-old could read it. Mama comes home. There Conrad stands and looks quite sad and shows his hands. Aw said Mama.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 8:55

I knew he'd come to naughty little Succotham Sick.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 9:02

There's a puddle of blood. That was awful.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 9:08

That was delightful. Why would you?

Micah (Knob Twister): 9:09

read that to your child. Why would you write that for children and how is that the most popular book in Germany for children? They're a little harsh. That poll was not taken from kids. It was taken from the parents, wasn't it? It's a bunch of terrified kids running around this one is not so horrifying but funny the story of the man that went out shooting.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 9:37

Well, he has a huge gun man. All right, this is the man that shoots the hares. This is the coat he always wears With game bag powder, horn and gun. He's going out to have some fun.

Micah (Knob Twister): 9:51

He finds it hard, without a pair of spectacles, to shoot the hare, he's got a gun and he can't see. That's not smart.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 9:59

That's bad. The hare sits snug in leaves and grass and laughs to see the green man pass Now.

Micah (Knob Twister): 10:06

as the gun grew very hot and he a heavy gun had got, he lay down underneath a tree and went to sleep. As you may see, he's a terrible hunter. He's having fun.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 10:22

And while he slept, like any top, he's just throwing words in there to make them rhyme now. Yes, it rhymes with hop, though. The little hare came, hop, hop, hop, took gun and spectacles and then on her hind legs went off again. The rabbit took his gun.

Micah (Knob Twister): 10:43

Yes, and spectacles. The green man wakes and sees her place, the spectacles upon her face, and now she's trying all she can to shoot the sleepy green coat man.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 10:59

Yeah, what's this story supposed to teach kids?

Micah (Knob Twister): 11:03

don't shoot bunnies I think he's got. I think he's against hunting for fun, because I mean, that's what I'd get from this story, especially after you finish it, because all these have a moral, so like don't suck your thumb or your fingers will get cut off. Don't beat your mother this one says he's going out to have some fun. So the antithesis. Did I say that correctly, dustin?

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 11:31

Yeah.

Micah (Knob Twister): 11:32

Would be that obviously he's against hunting.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 11:38

Seems odd for 1845.

Micah (Knob Twister): 11:41

I think he's a little progressive, as we'll see from the final story. Nice no.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 11:47

No, we haven't finished this one, so he's going to shoot the secret green comet.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 11:51

He cries and screams and runs away. The hare runs after him all day and hears him call out everywhere Help, fire, help the hare, the hare.

Micah (Knob Twister): 12:03

So I love this next picture because there's this little rabbit with spectacles on and this ginormous gun pointed at this green-coated man running as fast as he can.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 12:19

I'd never know that was a rabbit, unless I was reading it, that is horrible.

Micah (Knob Twister): 12:24

At last he stumbled at the well head over ears and in he fell. The hair stopped short, took aim and hark. Bang went the gun, she missed her mark.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 12:38

Well, well, you're gonna have to clean the stain on the seat. That's it. Oh no, the poor man's wife was drinking up her coffee in her coffee cup. Just that's just really lazy. The gun shot cup and saucucer through.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 12:55

Oh dear, what shall I do?

Micah (Knob Twister): 12:58

There lived, close by the cottage there, the hare's own child, the little hare. And while she stood upon her toes, the coffee fell and burned her nose. Oh dear, she cried with spoon in hand.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 13:14

Such fun I do not understand with spoon in hand.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 13:17

Such fun? I do not understand. So the guy fell down the well and the rabbit shot the coffee cup which spilled hot coffee on the rabbit's kid's nose.

Micah (Knob Twister): 13:25

Maybe this is all gun safety. Don't fall asleep.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 13:30

With your gun, with your gun, I know that didn't make any sense I thought it was great, though, drink coffee.

Micah (Knob Twister): 13:39

Oh yes, oh yes. So it gets better as we go along. You'll have so much fun. You'll want to sing a song. The fourth one, the story of Augustus, who would not have any soup.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 13:55

Now, I'm just thinking of Willy Wonka.

Micah (Knob Twister): 13:57

Exactly, that's what I thought immediately. So this is. Augustus was a chubby lad, and Augustus in Willy Wonka was the fat little German kid. So shall we start the story of Augustus who would not have any soup? No soup for you, oh, oh. Soup for you, oh, oh. Thank you.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 14:21

Augustus was a chubby lad, Fat ruddy cheeks. Augustus had and are they fat shaming this kid right off the bat and everybody saw with joy the plump and hearty healthy boy. He even drank as he was told, and never let his soup get cold.

Micah (Knob Twister): 14:38

Mmm. But one day, one cold winter's day, he screamed out.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 14:43

Take the soup away. Oh, take the nasty soup away. I won't have any soup today.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 14:50

He's just done with soup, I guess, so Get the kid a sandwich.

Micah (Knob Twister): 14:53

He didn't like the soup. It was liver and lentils.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 15:00

Next day. Now look, the picture shows how lank and lean Augustus grows. He lost like 80 pounds in one day. Though he feels so weak and ill, the naughty fellow cries out still.

Micah (Knob Twister): 15:16

Now, I know you can't see these pictures, but if you go to our website you could. But there is a rather large bone child in the first frame with a bowl of soup on the table, and then each frame below he gets, he shrinks by half, oh, more than half, and it looks like the soup is rotting on the table.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 15:40

He turns into a stick figure.

Micah (Knob Twister): 15:42

Yes, at the very end, he is literally a stick figure. The picture is terrifying.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 15:50

It's like an Ethiopian on a diet Ugh Anyway.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 15:56

Not any soup for me. I say, oh, take that nasty soup away. I won't have any soup today.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 16:02

How did he get fat on soup.

Micah (Knob Twister): 16:04

Have you seen German soup? It's full of sausage and potatoes.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 16:08

Touche, the third day comes. Oh, what a sin To make himself so pale and thin. Yet when the soup is put on the table, he screams as loud as he is able not any soup for me.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 16:19

I say oh, take that nasty soup away, I won't.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 16:23

I won't have any soup today took him four days to starve to death. That's just silly. Look at him now the fourth day's come. He scarcely weighs a sugar plum it rhymed he's like a little bit of Fred. And on the fifth day he was dead.

Micah (Knob Twister): 16:40

Dead.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 16:41

He starved to death in five days. I don't find that very like you can go like five days without water.

Micah (Knob Twister): 16:49

He wouldn't be that good Maybe.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 16:51

In good conditions.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 16:53

Three to four. He was pretty poorly.

Micah (Knob Twister): 16:55

Yes, he went from like a good 180 to 40 pounds Dead, dead, dead, dead In five days. So children, take this to heart, eat your soup.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 17:09

Eat your soup. Eat your soup or you might die in five days, that's right.

Micah (Knob Twister): 17:14

And moms and dads, you hang in there, you make them eat that soup, you leave it on the table and you make them eat it.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 17:22

Or if they're little snots, just wait five days, you won't have to worry about them.

Micah (Knob Twister): 17:29

Good parenting tips from Tales of Bedlam.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 17:33

Jeez, that's terrifying. It gets better and he's reading this stuff to a little rimmer. He's reading it gets better and he's reading this stuff to remember. He's reading this to his three-year-old kid.

Micah (Knob Twister): 17:41

That's correct.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 17:42

If you don't eat your soup, you'll be dead in five days.

Micah (Knob Twister): 17:44

And then he gives it to the world as a gift.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 17:48

If you suck your thumb, the scissor man is going to come cut them both off.

Micah (Knob Twister): 17:52

Well, this fifth story, the dreadful story of Harriet and the matches gets even better.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 18:01

It's not a very inventive title.

Micah (Knob Twister): 18:04

Okay, the horrific story of how Harriet met fire, that's better, and her flesh burnt away. Now you just give it away. We should do a commercial for kid-proof matches skin proof matches.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 18:26

Dustin, please start it it almost makes me cry to tell what foolish Harriet befell.

Micah (Knob Twister): 18:34

Mama and Nurse went out one day and left her all alone to play now on the table, close at hand a box of matches, chanced to stand and kind Mama and Nurse told her that if she touched them they would scold her.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 18:51

Now they're rhyming, her and her. He was mm-hmm. Maybe you should have taken two days to write all these and put a little thought into it.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 18:59

Ah, yeah, but Harriet said oh, what a pity, for when they burn it is so pretty. They crackle so and spit in flame. Mama too often does the same.

Micah (Knob Twister): 19:11

Yes, in anger. The pussycats heard this and they began to hiss and stretch their claws and raise their paws. Meow, they said, meow, meow, you'll burn to death. If you do so. That didn't sound very cat-like. You'll burn to. I don't know how does a cat sound Meow?

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 19:39

You'll burn to death if you do so, meow.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 19:45

That was the little cat on Mr Rogers' Neighborhood. That cat drove me crazy. Oh, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.

Micah (Knob Twister): 19:53

Meow, meow. How are you?

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 19:55

doing today? Meow, meow, I'm fine. Meow, meow, meow Meow.

Micah (Knob Twister): 20:01

That's enough. Oh, there's more.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 20:03

But Harriet would not take advice. She lit a match and it was so nice. Nice, it crackled so it burned, so clear.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 20:09

Yes.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 20:09

Exactly like the picture here, that is not that you cannot see. I can't even. I can't even see it. I'm looking at the picture. It's right there On her wrist.

Micah (Knob Twister): 20:21

It looks like her wrist is on fire actually.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 20:24

She's holding the match sideways.

Micah (Knob Twister): 20:26

Oh, okay, this is weird stuff.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 20:30

She jumped for joy and ran about and was too pleased to put it out.

Micah (Knob Twister): 20:33

Well, the pussycat saw this and said Meow.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 20:38

Oh, naughty, naughty, miss Meow.

Micah (Knob Twister): 20:42

And stretched their claws and raised their paws.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 20:50

Tis very, very wrong. You know, Meow, meow, meow, meow.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 20:54

You will be burnt if you do so, Meow meow, meow, meow, meow and see Meow, meow, meow and C. Oh, what dreadful thing. The fire has caught on her apron string. Oh my God, her apron burns her arms, her hair. She burns all over everywhere. This is like gruesome Dr Seuss.

Micah (Knob Twister): 21:18

Yes, then how the pussycats did meow, meow, meow. What else do pussies could, sorry? What else poor pussies could they do? They screamed for help. Twas all in vain. So they said We'll scream again. Make haste, make haste, she'll burn to death. We told her so.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 21:53

Are you burning meow? So she was burnt with all her clothes and arms and hands and eyes and nose, till she had nothing more to lose except for her little scarlet shoes and nothing else. But these were found, wow, till she had nothing more to lose except for her little scarlet shoes. And nothing else but these were found among her ashes on the ground. Good night, son.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 22:14

Have a lovely dream.

Micah (Knob Twister): 22:16

And when the good cat sat beside the smoking ashes, how they cried.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 22:22

Meow, meow, meow Meow.

Micah (Knob Twister): 22:24

Meow, meow, meow. What will mama and nursery do? Their tears ran down their cheeks so fast they made a little pond. At last, tell me that's not the end. Yes. And there's a little picture of cats crying their eyes out with a little pond and just a pile of soot with smoke the ruby slippers yes, the ruby slippers should have tapped her heels because they're magic slippers.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 22:52

That's where they came from the ending didn't make any sense. It should have stopped after and nothing else but these was found among her ashes on the ground. What sense did the kitty tear pool make to the story? None.

Micah (Knob Twister): 23:08

Empathy, empathy, empathy.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 23:11

This story was to frighten kids from playing with matches. So now kids are going to want to play with matches so they can see a kitty pool of tears.

Micah (Knob Twister): 23:18

So we have one more story for you, and I'd like to preface this. I'm not reading this I'd like to preface this that I love all people of all colors. This story, I think, was a little progressive for its time, but you have to get past the first couple lines just hang in there, it gets better the story of the Inky Boys. The Inky Boys.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 23:47

Mm-hmm, I just can't imagine what that means.

Micah (Knob Twister): 23:50

Go ahead, Dustin.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 23:53

I can't read that. As he had often done before, the woolly-headed Blackamore one nice, fine summer's day went out to see the shops and walk about, and as he found it hot, poor fellow, he took with him his green umbrella.

Micah (Knob Twister): 24:12

Mm-hmm.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 24:13

Fellow and umbrella yeah.

Micah (Knob Twister): 24:14

Right Then Edward, little noisy wag, ran out and laughed and waved his flag. And William came in jacket trim and brought his wooden hoop with him. And Arthur too snatched up his toys and joined the other naughty naughty boys.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 24:36

Oh, this is bad. So one and all set up a roar and laughed and hooted more and more and kept on singing. Only think I'm not saying that, I have to sing that.

Micah (Knob Twister): 24:49

No, well, yes, technically you should sing it.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 24:52

Oh uh, these are boys. Oh, oh, Blackie, you're as black as ink. Oh my gosh.

Micah (Knob Twister): 25:03

Now, tall Agrippa lived close by. So tall he almost touched the sky. That's pretty tall. He had a mighty inkstand too, in which a great goose feather grew what he called out in an angry tone Boys, leave that black amor alone.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 25:24

For if he tries with all his might, he cannot change from black to white. But ah, they did not mind a bit what great Agrippa said of it, but went on laughing as before and hooting at the black amor.

Micah (Knob Twister): 25:37

Then great Agrippa foams with rage. Look at him on this very page. He looks angry. He sees Arthur, seizes Ned. He looks angry, oh dear.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 25:51

Ooh, hmm, and they may scream and kick and call Into the ink. He dips them all Into the inkstand one, two, three Till there. Black as black can be Turn over now and you shall see oh yeah, see, there they are as black can be Turn over now, and you shall see.

Micah (Knob Twister): 26:06

Oh yeah, see, there they are, and there they run. The black amour enjoys the fun. They have been made as black as crows, quite black all over eyes and nose.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 26:17

Well, they're just silhouettes and legs and arms and heads and toes and trousers, pinafores and toys, the silly little inky boys, because they set up such a roar and teased the harmless black amour. That's what you get. Those are the ones that should have had their thumbs cut off.

Micah (Knob Twister): 26:37

I agree Shouldn't act that way, or better, just their tongues cut out.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 26:43

Wow, burnt to ashes so they could have a kitty tear pool.

Micah (Knob Twister): 26:49

Kitty tear pools. We should have a pool of kitty tears.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 26:53

I bet that would be. You stay away from my cats.

Micah (Knob Twister): 26:58

I bet that would be healthy in some way. Stay away from my cats. And I'll keep away from the matches too, sorry. So that concludes our stories now.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 27:12

I'm not rhyming anymore.

Micah (Knob Twister): 27:14

We will be back after a while.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 27:20

It didn't make me smile.

Micah (Knob Twister): 27:23

So I hope you enjoyed our Halloween treats for you. If you did like them, hey, please let a friend or a family member know about Tales of Bedlam. Direct them to TalesofBedlamcom or go to any podcast playing app and subscribe to our podcast at.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 27:44

DoItNow.

Micah (Knob Twister): 27:45

And thank you, no, zoom, for you. Have a happy Halloween. Good night, bye.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 27:56

No Zoom for you.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 28:03

These were disturbing and unnecessary. And this man needs to be put under some kind of charges for child abuse, but it was very popular according to the Internet. There's no accounting for some people's parenting.

Micah (Knob Twister): 28:20

Well, I guess, if you can't get them to do what you want, you just scare the Jesus out of them.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 28:27

That doesn't work well though.

Micah (Knob Twister): 28:29

It can backfire on you, didn't?

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 28:30

they grow up to be little terrorists and crazy people. They grow from little crazy people to big crazy people.

Micah (Knob Twister): 28:38

Yeah, all serial killers were very.

Dustin (Sofa Sitter): 28:42

German Hello, I bet Hitler. We love you, germany, I bet hitler's mom read him that book.

Micah (Knob Twister): 28:50

Oh yeah, I bet 10 bucks oh I didn't think when he was little yeah, I would wager on that too, dustin see what happens you know if, if our fans liked it, there was a sequel oh my god, by a another author who was so pleased with this book that he wrote yet another one with even worse. Oh drawings, worse drawings yes, couldn't possibly be.

Micah (Knob Twister): 29:19

Oh yes, there was it worse rhyming no the rhyming no, actually it's not as sing say, as this was yeah so I don't know you say it was worse or better, but there's like one where a girl cries too much that she cries her eyes out. There's another one where she uh, a little girl isn't supposed to play with boys, so her breaks her leg and it falls off and she spends the rest of her life with one leg.
