A partial transcript of this week's Treehouse Fort:
Suss: At the US Open, Serena Williams was disqualified from her semifinal match against Kim Clijsters during her opponents match point when she yelled and threatened a baseline official. Now that Kim Clijsters beat both Williams sisters, one fairly, and one via a tantrum, Richard Williams invited Clijsters over to watch the Giants game.
Tuffy: YOU LIE!
Suss: What?
Tuffy: YOU LIE!
Suss: No, it's true. Multiple news outlets reported it.
Tuffy: Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. Please continue.
Suss: After scoring a touchdown, Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb reportedly cracked some ribs and will miss up to four games. Federal officials then seized Michael Vick's voodoo doll of McNabb, which was lying next to a copy of Madden NFL '10.
Tuffy: YOU LIE!
Suss: (sigh) Tuffy...
Tuffy: YOU LIE! I swear to God I'll (BEEP) take this script and shove it down your (BEEP) throat!
Suss: And finally, a recent study showed television has a significant effect on behavior and mortality for people of all ages.
Tuffy: Are you sure? That sounds like a lie.
Suss: There's really only one way to find out, Tuffy... are you ready for some Treehouse Fort?
