I think the uphill luge attack- if I slide left, and you slide right, we might be able to time the flobble of the giblets perfectly!

*upgrades giblet flobbling as they approach, in perfect harmony, the top of the hill*

Now, when I say "Shlop", let the flobbled giblets go, while performing a double axel on the sled from the top of the hill, OK?

PLAY-BY-PLAY COMMENTATOR: Well, the legendary Russian Tigger Jig celebration that the HooToo shhillingback Ranger and Left Behind Egon have popularised is really taking the crowd's interest,a nd, and... oh my goodness, Kyle, they're joining in!

ANALYST (Kyle): Well, that is certainly one step above the mexican wave as the entire calvindome launches ionto that legendary amalgamation of Cossacks and Winnie The Pooh

PLAY-BY-PLAY: Well, it was a sensational flobble, so it's no wonder the home contingent are getting so excitable.

ANALYST: In fact I'm very affected. Brad, would you join me in a Rusiian Tigger Jig

PLAY-BY-PLAY (who does indeed happen to be called Brad): Oh f**k it, why not Kyle, my old buddy.

*BRAD AND KYLE JOIN THE RUSSIAN-TIGGER-JIGGING*

We've changed the world, Egon, my friend! Just us, a few Cossacks, and Tigger!

I must leave you in charge for now, mate. Work calls smiley - sadface. But I'll be basking in the glory of that flobble all afternoon!
