The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume CCLXXXIV

On a ghastly and ghoulish evening Mogey and Smush strode through the fog of a woodland path by sputtering lanternlight, which is really the only proper way to travel on a ghastly and ghoulish evening. It wouldn't do to skip merrily along through a field of buttercups with a powerful flashlight on a ghastly and ghoulish evening now, would it? Mogey and Smush didn't think so anyway.

After some amount of time or other they saw a dancing skeleton in the path up ahead and hid behind a tree to watch him boogie. As they observed, Mogey and Smush noticed something very peculiar: the skeleton had almost no moves! So limited were his skills, in fact, that "driving the bus" and "starting the lawnmower" comprised a full three quarters of his repertoire.

Being that they were far, far better dancers than the skeleton, Mogey and Smush now had no qualms about approaching him and so they continued up the path.

"How dare ye?" the skeleton's voice boomed as he noticed them. He began to dance even more vigorously. "Only the dead and may pass this way alive!"

"What?" asked Smush.

"Yeah!" Mogey added. "What?"

"Only the dead may pass this way alive!" the dancing skeleton repeated.

"Hi-Yah!" Smush shouted as he karate chopped the stop button on the skeleton's jambox. The blazin' hip hop and R&B came to a screeching halt. "Try stopping us without dance music!"

"NOOO!" the skeleton cried, falling to his knee bones in anguish. And Mogey and Smush strode past him and back into the ghastly and ghoulish evening.
