(That's right, osso!...I edited the traffic sign to reflect correct mileage.)
The farm kids had become restless once they passed the cutoff for Dinosaur National Monument, so the bus driver pulled over at the motel where Elvis, Britney and the kids took turns sliding down the giant dinosaur's tail.
Two of the farm kids, Jeb and Lucinda, were playing together near the woods when they heard the frail, but strangely melodic voice of what sounded like an extremely old woman call to them--"Come hither children, and I will bring thee home to your true mothers' call..."
They trusted her, because she reminded them of a minor character from one episode of The Simpsons.
And so they ventured into the woods, following the eerily soothing voice, which seemed to be close at times, and then further away at others, until finally they realized that they could no longer hear the sounds of the other farm children at all, or any of the others that they had been with in dinosaur park; the woods held only a dim light, and they were hopelessly lost.
But actually she was a write in candidate for the republican ticket in "Hansel and Gretal", a new hit hit election drama, on Home Boxoffice III!
(Starring Martin Sheen as the Herminator, this show was a big hit.)
"Come hither, young children, further into the woods, and you shall be brought to the place of your true mothers...", the voice beckoned from seemingly everywhere at once, and Jeb's lip began to tremble as little Lucinda began to cry, looking in every direction at once for the mysterious woman.
Suddenly Elvis burst through the trees and caught sight of the two missing children about to be captured by an evil Mormon witch.
however it turned out to be Michael Jackson, wearing his Elvis impersonator suit (as usual), and the plot thickened - rather molasses like!
(Elvis and Michael impersonating Elvis and maybe it was someone impersonating Michael impersonating Elvis left.)
Jeb and Lucinda wanted to run, but where, and the voice kept calling, "come, come to me."
(kicky's got a nifty little story going here away from the "main" one. I see no reason why we can't have several different stories going on at the same time). rjb
Meanwhile, back at the bus, Gary Coleman and Billy Hero were arguing over the empty seat next to Britney.
I didn't think Mormans had a witch culture, said Gary, wonderingly.
Coleman never loved Britney, or even liked her; but he was plotting something, her destroyal, and all it would take would be a few hours' talking with her.
Brit (as usual) was oblivious and continued stuffing her face with Mars bars.

And two well-fed farm children would surely do the trick!
It reminded her of her momma's home cookin'; so, she decided that she would have to try to escape the bus, grab some children and get them back on inconspicuously: naturally, she needed advice about it.
The small chinese man with the coolie hat squatted on a knoll perhaps 50 yards from the bus, listening to the chatter from people he had never exchanged a word with, and watching them, watching them.
He was a Snoop Doggy Dogg impersonator on the weekends, and had a love of highjacking buses with Gary Coleman on them.
