Out Of This World Wednesday...
Climbing The Stairway To Havens



If you have been following our mildly exciting episodes of Out Of This World Wednesday, you'll probably remember that our Glirkazoid explorers have now reached the Stairway To Havens, that they will need to climb, to obtain the answer on how to defeat the Monster Of Malevalentay and release the Princess of Pyrotussin.




Rosie and Gary wave bye bye to the Deaf Dragon, who, fortunately, did not eat them...



and begin climbing the enormous amount of stairs that ascend up...up...up into the clouds where the wise and talented spirit of Richie Havens dwells in peaceful perpetuity. 




Gary - "Rosie, I..."




Rosie - "Don't say it, Gary!"




Gary - "Say what? I never..."

Rosie - "Shut your pie hole, buddy!!"

Gary - "But you don't even..."

Rosie - "YES I DO know what you're gonna say! You're gonna start complaining that you're tired, or hungry, or thirsty, or starting to chafe, or your feet hurt!! Right? Am I right?!!"

Gary - "Would I do that? Come on, Rosie! We're only on the second step!!"




Rosie - "Sorry, Gary. Just because you complain a lot on ALL of our missions, I shouldn't prejudge you on this one, my friend."

Gary - "Thank you! By the way, do you have any candy?"


Rosie sighs deeply.

This is not Rosie, but simply illustrates sighing.

Gary and Rosie make small talk as they climb the Stairway To Havens. Small talk? Get it? They are very small alien creatures (4 inches max) and...never mind.

Gary - "Did you know I saw Richie Havens 3 times, in concert, when he existed on the physical plane of, uh, existence?" 



Rosie - "I know, I know! You've told me a million times, Gary! Stop bragging!"

Gary - "I'm not bragging, Rosie. I just thought that is good info for you to know, as we decide who asks Richie the life and death question about how to defeat the Monster Of Malevalentay, that's all.

Rosie - "If you want to ask him the question, that's cool. I'm not obsessed with who's in charge, or who will be the official spokesperson."

Gary - "Me neither. So I'll just ask him, because you'd most likely be too scared anyways."

Rosie - "You've got a point, Gary! I've heard that since Richie is existing in the spiritual plane, he's very terrifying! He has a voice like thunder crashing, is enormous in size, has eyes like Helen Blazes, and is crabby when his peace is disrupted!!"

Helen Blazes

Gary - "Oh, I don't think he could have changed that..."

At that very instant, our Glirkazoid pals hear a thunderous voice from above the clouds...

Richie Havens - "WHO DARE CLIMB MY STAIRWAY TO HAVENS? I'LL FEED THEM TO MY GIANT RAVENS!! 



As Rosie and Gary turn around to scramble back down the stairs, they notice that all of the stairs below them have disappeared, and they have no choice but continue ascending to the dark fate that surely awaits them!

Gary - "It's REALLY getting foggy up here! It's as thick as pea soup! I feel like we're in a Sherlock Holmes or Werewolf movie from Earth's 1930's! 


Go to 0.55 for fog scene.

Rosie - "We are in the clouds, knucklehead! Which is WAY different than the fog in an old British movie!"

Gary - "Gotcha, govner...but a bloody werewolf may be creepin' about the moors, Sherlock! I ope you ave a eavy unting rifle, old chap!"

Rosie - "That's the worst English accent I've ever heard! Shouldn't we be more worried about the scary spirit of Richie Havens than mythical werewolves!"

Gary - "Elementary, my dear Sherlock, since we already errd the orrifying, ideous, art pounding  words of Richie's spirit an aff an our ago!"

Rosie - "Please cut it out, Gary! We have a serious mission to..."

Gary - "Rosie! Listen to that beautiful music!


Rosie - "It's Richie Havens, sitting on a log at the top of the Stairway To Havens and playing his Guild guitar, peacefully, in a paradisaic setting"

 paradisiac - relating to or befitting Paradise; "together in that paradisal place"; "paradisiacal innocence" paradisaic, paradisaical, paradisal, paradisiacal. heavenly - of or belonging to heaven or God.

Example of paradisaic setting.

Gary - "Cool! The Stairway To Havens ended in paradise! Are we dead?"

Richie - "No, man! You're not dead, and I'm not either. The stairway climbs up to the top of Mt. Magursky (that is hidden by the clouds), where I've been living, to escape the relentless paparazzi, after faking my death. 

Rosie - "What was that terrifying warning about giant ravens eating us?!!"




Richie - "Ha ha! Oh, that's my ADP security system! Which stands for Anti Dumb Paparazzi system. It works like a charm! I used imaginary giant ravens 'cause it rhymes with Havens."

Gary - "So YOU started those rumors about your spirit being so mean and nasty?"

Richie - "Guilty as charged, Gary."

Gary - "How did you know my name?"

Richie - "I know both of your names, Rosie and Gary!"

Rosie - "How?"

Richie - "Elementary, my dear Glirkazoid Gladiators...I read Out Of This World Wednesday every week!"

Wednesday!!!

Gary and Rosie - "What? What are you talking about?" 

Richie - It's not important. So, you want to know how to defeat the Monster Of Malevalentay and release the Princess Of Pyrotussin from his clutches, right?"

Gary and Rosie - (amazed over his amazing knowledge) "Riiiiight. 

Richie - "Okay! Here's all you need to do!

Well, well, well...Richie wasn't as bad as we thought.

Join us next Wednesday to find out how Richie edifies them on defeating the Mighty Monster Of Malevalentay!!!


Just wanted to give you a closer image of this ugly dude!
