That was rad! The hand-carved wood bits go really well with the outdoor setting. And was that Stonehenge?

The ones that get stuck and hang around a little know that eventually one of their little buddies will come along to help them continue on the journey.

Pretty damn cool.

Although if was gonna go to all that trouble, I’d design it so the marbles picked up speed and mostly kept it.

David St. Hubbins: I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.

Ian Faith: I really think you’re just making much too big a thing out of it.

Derek Smalls: Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea.
