1 - Once upon a time
2 - in a land, far, far away
3 - there lived a lowly tapeworm
4 - who had a thing for fuzzy red slippers
5 - one day this tapeworm became extremely ill
1 - becuase it never saw the sunshine
6 - meanwhile, his nemesis, the inchworm, cleverly disguised himself as a pool table
7 - into the pool parlor stalks the dastardly Duke of Buckingham searching for the lovely Princess of Karana
8. She was nowhere to be found
9. However the tapeworm was to be found aching in the corner of the parlor and could not believe what he saw next...
10. on the excrement of his former host.  What kind of world had he been born into? The blood, the wailing of others, the constant traffic of curious on-lookers
11. the lowly tapeworm decided it was time to faceoff with his nemesis, the inchworm
12. but he soon realized he was no match for the "angry inch"
1. even with his six rows of teeth and segmented body totaling almost half a foot long. Scotch (the tapeworm) had to find the Duke's weakness and overtake the angry little transforming larvae of moths.
11.but Scotch was tiring and struggling under Duke's barrage of blows. Scotch takes a deep breath and lunges at Duke..
2.Somehow Scotch finds renewed strength and kicks Duke's ass!
13. and all the bar patrons slithered in joy and toasted small vials of dung beetle juice to the victor.
3. Scotch learned his lesson, but couldn't help but feel awful that he kicked Duke's ass so hard.
1. The angry inch was only a centimeter which made him even angrier. Would the Butterfly Princess of Karana ever notice him? She was to transform him into something better. 
14.He mustered up all his courage and ...
15. went to look for his princess.
16. But on his way through the forest, he ran into Adam Lambert sobbing hysterically.
17. He knew there was only one thing to do. He reached into his dirty backpack. He pulled out his favorite fuzzy red slippers and gave them to Adam.
7.Adam said he liked the shoes he wore with KISS better, but he would wear them in an upcoming song with matching red nail polish.
18. After taking the slippers Adam offered to take him to the princess, so off they went singing down the trail.
1.  "And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, the dreams of which I'm dying are the best I've ever had, I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take...when people run in circles it's a very very ...
1. Mad World."   As the two finished singing, the butterfly princess of Karana hovered quietly above. Adam lifted the Duke up to the princess. He was almost back to his full inch. Standing in the palm of Adam's hands he felt strong and ready to hear his destiny. Karana whistfully landed onto the field of open palms.
Duke was transfixed on all the colors of her wings as she started to speak of his transformation. 

"Duke, you have escaped the lowly tapeworms attempt to end you...you have made it through this Mad World and not been squashed or eaten...and lastly you delivered the fuzzy red slippers to their rightful owner."
"So what is my destiny Princess Karana? Can I come live with you in your kingdom and be one of the butterflies?" Duke...you, just like Adam, are going to make your own destiny. You do not need a kingdom of rules to tell you who you are or what you can become. It was your destiny to meet at this time in eachothers life and grow together day by day, inch by inch.
