After many many years playing the stunt double for the exploding penguin on Monty Python, [tic] he went insane! Then he escaped [tic] from the institution years ago, [tic] bent on uniting all flightless birds into an army to take over the world, nay, to conquer [tic] the universe! I, personally, was held hostage [tic] for months as he tried to [tic] brainwash me into helping him !! But it didn't take [tic], nosirree, not me. I refused to succumb [tic] to his bribes and threats !!!
