An Evening with Andy’s Toys By Sheriff Woody and Buzz Lightyear
Hi there, kids! This here is Sheriff Woody. I hope everyone had a rootin’ tootin’ good ol’ time at our outdoor movie night back on September 25th! If you weren’t there, let me tell ya, it was a warm night filled with dancing, games, and the best movie ever made featuring yours truly. Here’s Buzz to tell you more about it:
ATTENTION SPACE RANGER CADETS. I AM BUZZ LIGHTYEAR, SPACE RANGER. THE FOLLOWING IS A SYNOPSIS OF MY MISSION LOGS FROM THE EVENING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2015. AT APPROXIMATELY 1730 HOURS THE OUTER GATES OF THE FACILITY WERE OPENED. GUESTS OF ALL AGES, SIZES, AND PLANETARY ORIGINS WERE INVITED TO ENTER. ONCE INSIDE THEY PROCEEDED TO EAT, DRINK, AND NAE NAE WHILE AWAITING THE ROTATION OF THE HOST PLANET AWAY FROM ITS STAR. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ZURG OR ANY OF HIS FORCES. ONCE THE PROPER LIGHTING LEVEL WAS ACHIEVED, THE DOCUMENTARY FEATURE “TOY STORY” WAS VIEWED BY THE ASSEMBLED CROWD. THE TRUE STORY OF A YOUNG SPACE RANGER MAROONED ON A BIZARRE PLANET WAS VERY MOVING. I CAN ONLY HOPE HE MADE IT BACK TO STAR COMMAND. END OF LOG.
Uh, Buzz? It wasn’t a documentary. It was our movie! THAT’S PREPOSTEROUS! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
