>> hey everyone,

>> when jon sent the email about the campaign against immigration
>> gathering i remembered puppet play (an adaptation of three billy
>> goats gruff) a friend from norway mentioned, where goats are the
>> migrants and troll the immigration control and asked him if he can
>> send me a script of some sort to see if we can use it on saturday
>>
>> he sent the story only half an hour ago... so not much time to
>> get
>> ready for it properly, but i still think its worthwhile doing it,
>> so what if we try to form a kids collective who can work on it and
>> maybe interested adults, and stage it at another gathering, if you
>> are up for it maybe whoever is gonna be there spread the word on
>> saturday, maybe put a notice up ext
>>
>>
>> maybe the project can evolve into forming a group meeting up
>> regularly to discuss related topics and make stuff and then stage
>> it
>>
>> just realized if it sounds too much of a project to advertise on
>> saturday and ppl would like to talk about it more in detail before
>> going for it thats totally fine coz i only though about it as im
>> writing now
>>
>> here is the summery from my friends email:
>>
>>
>> ok,
>>
>> so, hitler tells the story, and says that the first forigner
>> smells like "tea and biscuits"
>> the troll asks "who is stepping on my bridge", and after the
>> response from the english goat says "the scent is known and the
>> color is dear, come in to my country and make your living here"
>>
>> so the same also happens to the dutch goat which hitler says
>> smells like "green grass"
>>
>> then the pakistani goat comes which hitler says smells like
>> kebab.
>> the goat asks to cross the border but the troll thinks "this
>> smells like kebab & curry, I only want [insert norwegian
>> traditional dishes/stuff here]"
>>
>> then they fight and it ends with the pakistani goat lifting his
>> wool to reveal that he's strapped with dynamite, and he blows
>> himself and the troll to pieces -emel here well im not sure about
>> blowing the poor goat, maybe the bridge and the troll :)-so that
>> his family busload of goats can get over the bridge.
