Baiting the Tiger

Hi, my name is Ritchie.

JEREMY:  Are we sure we want to do this?

I'm about to bait the tiger.

ME:  You scared?
JEREMY:  Antsy, I would say.  I wouldn't say scared.
HANK:  I'd like to make a note of the fact that I'm scared.
CARTER:  Me too.

We were sitting in a studio at a local television station.  Davis hooked us up after he hooked up with a local anchor.

Now he and Jeremy were sitting in front of the camera.  This message was going to be broadcast directly onto Wilde's Blog.

NATHAN:  We're ready to upload.
ELI:  Guys, this is seriously crossing a line.
ME:  You mean like how they crossed a line when they decided to personally attack us?
DAVIS:  And turned the entire town against us?
BILLY:  And have you read that blog?  They don't even know how to use a semi-colon.

We all looked at Billy.

BILLY:  I'm sorry, but that pisses me off.  If you don't know how to use a semi-colon, then make it two sentences, okay?

Awwwwwwkward.

NATHAN:  Let's go guys.
ME:  5...4...3...2...

And the lights were up.

PAIGE:  Welcome to the first and only episode of 'Back Off, Bitch!'  I'm your perky host, who happens to be single--
VOICE:  PAIGE!
PAIGE:  Shove it!  And now, here are your hosts--Jeremy and Davis.

We cut to the Dynamic Duo.

JEREMY:  Hi.
DAVIS:  Hi.
JEREMY:  We're your Weather Boys.
DAVIS:  And have we got news for you.
JEREMY:  And by you, we mean the Wilde Blog readers.
DAVIS:  We want to share something with you.

First comes the truth.

JEREMY:  The Wilde Blog has officially declared war on us.
DAVIS:  Our group of friends.
JEREMY:  A group of catty, bitchy queens.
DAVIS:  And let's face it, what can we do?
JEREMY:  We could throw ourselves on your mercy.
DAVIS:  Beg you to not read what Wilde has to say.
JEREMY:  But let's be honest, you won't.
DAVIS:  If anything, you'll read it more.
JEREMY:  So we've come up with another idea.

Then comes the twist.

DAVIS:  We're going to open up the circus.
JEREMY:  And let you all in the tent.

Get ready, tiger.

DAVIS:  At this moment, we have a computer technician here at the television station working to make the Wilde Blog a public site.
JEREMY:  You can all access and add content whenever you like.
DAVIS:  And by the time Wilde figures out how to change that--
JEREMY:  We think all you gays can do a lot of damage.
DAVIS:  So go ahead.  Snap photos of each other making out in the bathrooms at Prisms.
JEREMY:  Blog about who gave who gnono.
DAVIS:  Let everybody in Providence know who was getting head in the mall parking lot.
JEREMY:  We'd love to take the high road here, but Wilde has blocked it off.
DAVIS:  That means instead, we've chosen anarchy.
JEREMY:  As of this moment--
DAVIS:  And all you musical theater gays will appreciate this.
JEREMY:  --City's on fire.

Cut.  Print.

Work.
