I knew in times of LMB importance, Grendel was bound to show up!

He's like the JLA's Phantom Stranger!

jeepers as I told you guys at his statue.

Grendel haunts a Danish Mead hall, where they drink ... ya know lots of mead. Vikings drunk on mead not very good witnesses, ya know.

On the other hand,

Go look for his brother Hansell currently haunting the pot licensed coffee houses of Amsterdam, stoned Dutchmen are more reliable witnesses.

Hansell? Hansell? What happened to Gretel?

NO! NO! NO! IT'S HANSELL AND GRENDEL!


Hansell and Grendel, the great Anglo-Saxon psychedelic rock opera, composed and performed by that great Germanic rock band The Brother's Grimm.

Plot summary.

Twin Malevolent entities Hansell and Grendel exist in Pre-Christian Northern Europe. Due to a space time anomoly, (lots of special effects, but it helps to take some hallucenogens for this part), the brothers are split apart. One ends up in Denmark where the events depicted in Beowulf occur.

The other twin is transported to late 20th century Amsterdam (or post-christian Europe) where he haunts the pot licensed coffee house district, scaring everyone except for the protagonist (Willie Wolfe). A young dandy of a man with a fabulous taste in clothes and who is a terrific dancer. (Draw your own conclusions. ) Essentially the play is a restaging of Beowulf in a modern context.

I. Heorot's plea and Grendel's awakening

Midnight suns bid moors farewell, retreats from charging dusk
Mountain echo, curfews bell, signal ending tasks
They place their faith in oaken doors, cower in candlelight
The panic seeps through bloodstained floors as Grendel stalks the night

Earth rim walker seeks his meals
Prepare the funeral pyres
The shaper's songs no longer heal the fear
Within their eyes, their eyes

Wooden figures, pagan gods, stare blindly cross the sea
Appeal for help from ocean fogs, for savior born of dreams
They know their lives are forfeit now, priestly head they bow in shame
They cannot face the trembling crowd that flinch in Grendel's name

Earth rim walker seeks his meals
Prepare the funeral pyres
The shaper's songs no longer heal the fear
Within their eyes, their eyes

As Grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere
Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgar's hall so clear
He knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify
His claws will drip with mortal blood as moonbeams haunt the sky

Earth rim walker seeks his meals
Prepare the funeral pyres
The shaper's songs no longer heal the fear
Within their eyes, their eyes

II. Grendel's Journey

Silken membranes span his path, fingerprints in dew
Denizens of twilight lands humbly beg him through
Mother nature's bastard child shunned by leaf and stream
An alien in an alien land seeks solace within dreams
The shaper's lies his poisoned tongue malign with mocking harp
Beguiling queen her innocence offends his icy heart

III. Lurker at the Threshold

Hounds freeze in silence bewitched by the reptile spell
Sulphurous essence pervades round the grassy dell
Heorot awaits him like lamb to the butcher's knife
Stellular heavens ignore even children's cries

Screams are his music, lightning his guide
Raping the darkness, death by his side

Chants rise in terror, free round the oaken beams
Flickering firelight portraying the grisly scene
Warriors advance, prepare for the nightmare foe
Futile their sacrifice as even their hearts must know

Heroes delusion, with feet in the grave
Lurker at the threshold, he cares not for the brave, he cares not for the brave

So you thought that your bolts and your locks would keep me out
You should have known better after all this time
You're gonna pay in blood for all your vicious slander
With your ugly pale skins and your putrid blue eyes
Why should I feel pity when you kill your own and feel no shame
God's on my side, sure as hell, I'm gonna take no blame
I'm gonna take no blame, I'm gonna take no blame

So you say you believe in all of Mother Nature's laws
You lust for gold with your sharpened knives
Oh when your hoards are gathered and your enemies left to rot
You pray with your bloodstained hands at the feet of your pagan gods

Then you try to place the killer's blade in my hand
You call for justice and distort the truth
Well I've had enough of all your pretty pretty speeches
Receive your punishment, Expose your throats to my righteous claws
And let the blood flow, and let the blood flow, flow, flow, flow

III. Grendel's journey continues

There is much bloodshed in the plains of Velizioth
Fallen Warriors foolhardy to face the wrath of the Ultimate Almighty One
Embarking on a continued journey to find his comrades Hansell and Grytyl - sparing no man or sentient beast who fails to give Grendel the proper answer to the question he asks
Terror and anguish abound as all realise that Grendel has lost the ability to feel compassion or love, with every kill to his tally

Revenge Plan #1:

Take out anger caused by the LMB on Grendel, their adored lurker.

Continue with Thomas Fatsi.

Then this Whacker-mole, or whatever that is.
