My childhood friend Greg (g-actor) is in the locker room(tone) of my gym (gym=strong= ong-set). He is rapidly trimming his terribly long leg hair(prop, and he is a very hairy guy) with a giant pair of shears (prop). It's ALTOGETHER gross. He is trimming in time with the piped in gym muzac station playing the Beetles "Altogether Now..." All the guys in the locker room are grossing out ALTOGETHER. The sound of scissors snip snip sniping, combined with the gong-show-like sound of someone banging on the lockers to make him stop become ALTOGETHER deafening. Snip-snip-gong-gong! "Altogether now "...Ahhhhhh

The Farm track ‘Altogether Now’ is such an obvious choice for me too here. The character is familiar because of 公共汽车 but I’m hoping the image of George Clooney (my g- actor) humming this in my cousin’s bathroom will help fix the tone in my memory.

This character looks like a MBE medal (GONG from the Queen) with ribbons that would look nice on Luke's chest for Services in teaching Mandarin to the White Devils.

George Foreman (g-) is in the bathroom at Target HQ (-ong) after a long Wushu - 武术training session he realized he’s lost one of his swords. He has his nunchucks (八) but only one one of two hook swords (龷). George posts lost & found signs 🪧 and after a few days a stranger brings the lost hook sword ⚔️ back to him. ALTOGETHER once again he has his weapons.
