Daniel 5

Maybe George didn't think that anyone'd take it up when he challenged us to "do" Daniel 5 creatively. But we did and the results from various groups were almost Eurovision worthy!

Rob, Glen Geoff, Alan, Tim had:
  • gods of PVC
  • Elton John (the "Queen's") rendition of "Daniel"
  • Daniel adaptation of 2W2L
Ivan, Akos, Candy, Alby, Wazza, Carlson had a "Skip / Wog" BBQ (very tongue in cheek... apologies) complete with CGI and sound effects. "Oh my gods!"

Rowan, Paul (and I) rewrote OMC's "How Bizarre", entitled "Balshazzar, How Bizarre!"* What's the modern equivalent of the most ridiculous and extravagant party animals? Rap stars, of course!

Hardy Har Har.

*The film version may feature a car with license "YHWH 01", driven by Balshazzar with his concubines dripping in gold chains heavy with Star of David pendants.

References to pants and incontinence are attributed to Wolters' interpretation of Dan 5.
