TREY: Before we do the next song, explaining the climbing of the mountain, we’re going to have to give you a quick, quick introduction to who Icculus is.

See, a long time ago, in a place far, far away, a place called Gamehendge, there lived a great, great man. How about some backup vocals here?

And this great man was a great, great, great guy. His name was, well his name was, he was a great guy because he wrote the Helping Friendly Book, and let me tell you that the Helping Friendly Book has saved many persons from a life of bitter toil because the helping Friendly Book contains all the knowledge inherent in the universe. I hope that you too can someday be enlightened by the writings of the Helping Friendly Book because when I first read the Helping Friendly Book, I was a pretty sorry case! Let me tell you!

But, now that I’ve read it, goddamnit, I’m a pretty cool guy if I say so myself! Because I know what’s in the Helping Friendly Book, and let me tell you, I owe it all to this great man, this wonderful man, because this man was, he was, the great and knowledgeable… guy who wrote the Helping Friendly Book, he was the one and only man who wrote the Helping Friendly Book, and his name was, his name was, he was the author of the Helping Friendly Book, his name was Icculus!
