Krusty the Clown (Simpsons) finds the sword Excalibur (in the stone) in the living room of my childhood home. Someone has left a rose on top of the sword. Krusty thinks this is a sign - but for what exactly? To smell the rose - too simple. Ah, perhaps to eat it. Krusty starts to eat the rose - aiiih, it's so BITTER. But that's not even the worst, the most cruel thing are the thornes. He really does everything to get the sword.

Kermit is standing in the livingroom of my childhood home. Miss Piggy is sitting and watching, with a rose in her hands, waving it and cheering Kermit on. Excalibur is before him. Will he be able to pull the sword out of the stone, or will it be a BITTER defeat? Kermit drinks a BITTER concoction of brewed dandelions and kale, hoping for an immediate strength enhancement. He steps up to the stone, and puts out his hands.....

My actor is sitting in the living room of my childhood home, watching a documentary on the Sphinx while tasting a very BITTER elderflower cordial (made with a vintage flower). I can imagine the disgusted look on her face!
