Jerry Houser: Grizzle

Quotes 

• Grizzle : The best thing about gym is that it makes you sweat! It brings me closer to the world's smell record!

  [his sweatshirt tears off] 

  Grizzle : See that? A personal vest with every class!

• Tess : Well, as long as you're here, I might as well ask: do you know the Meaning of Life?

  Grizzle : No. But let me tell you about my ancient Viking ancestor, who went in search of the Meaning of Life.

  [a fantasy setting appears] 

  Grizzle : It was a day like any other day, when Grizzle the Red went in search for the Meaning of Life. He knew he had many dangerous and often weird obstacles to surmount, not the least weirdest of which was the fire-breathing Rarf! Fortunately, Rarfs come in one size only. But then came his greatest challenge: the Fatal Fjord of Food! Which is kinda like a giant outdoor school cafeteria only with more hidden dangers and a better selection of entrees. Grizzle the Red almost bought it in the underflow of a lake of chopped liver... only to fall prey to a French fry avalanche! Oh, they were the really good kind too: crunchy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. Suddenly, his goal was in sight! His long quest was almost over... when he fell into an ocean of sour cream! Grizzle the Red struggled! Could this be the end? What will become of this heroic Viking?
