I like the HistoryPark idea a lot. However, 'Borneo Family Robinson' has potential, too. What if you took that concept and turned it around. Have some 'caveman' cultured native wash ashore in some country in Europe and get elevated to King. Think of the possibilties.
"Hmm. What that?"
"It's a musket, sire."
"What mus-ket do?"
"BOOOOMMM!!!"
"EEEKKK!!!"
"Sire? Sire? You can come down from that tree now..."
But what country could be so... foolish... as to do that? They don't let hemophiliacs be king, or murderers. No one would even consider a king who came from an incestuous relationship, nor a liar, or a thief. The insane need not apply, and of course a monarch who kept mistresses would be right out of a job.
Heavens, sir! Don't you know that royalty has STANDARDS?
PS I love it. May use it later.
Lord Frumple harrumped in his mustache. Flying Chinamen indeed! Still, the King was dead - at least most of the people who'd examined him thought so. Lord Frumple was unimpressed - the old horse-faced Scot looked just as dead when he was living, and that funny bend in his neck just made him look thoughtful. For a change.
And exploding manure! Throwing Chinamen halfway across the globe! How absurd! Everyone knows manure burns ( and with a right bit of pong, too ), but it doesn't explode. Unless you'd had cook's Lancashire Surprise, he conceded. All bets were off after a slice or two of THAT intestinal petard! The Surprise, as always, came later...
