The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I just started to wake up and realised that months, MONTHS, have flow by.  MONTHS!  I don't know who was in charge of my body and mind at the time but I want to speak to them.

On other topics.  Random question.  How would one re-dub a story.  Like old kung fu movie dubbing.  The bad dub where the lips move for a good minute and all they say is yes.  If I can't figure this out I could always ignore it and try some other story, but I think it would be funny and an inside joke when the story comes out.  So, any thoughts?

By redub, do you mean MST3k commentary?  Perhaps the use of square brackets and italics would do it? [Brilliant thinking pre-coffee.  I wonder what he can think once caffeinated?]

Or like the old Spaghetti Westerns where the cowboy is CLEARY inhaling and exhaling cigarette smoke and NOT making a deadly threat, THEN you hear him inhale/exhale while his lips move.

I think you would do it like Peredhil's example, but you'd have to do it line by line - the original line that the author WANTS the reader to "see" and then, underneath it in brackets, what the reader ACTUALLY "sees".

Those are all very helpful and I think I know how to do it...maybe?  The problem is it's also an action scene an action is not my native tongue.  But I broke my brain on an idea that helps that....maybe.  Give me five-ish hours and I think I'll do something....maybe!  

Other news, I have more ideas!  I finally came up with my favorite trope character, the gentalman thief, and he fits in one of worlds!  EEEEEEEEEEEEE!  And after I re-dub the episode I need too I will start showing all the places I see.
