This is the place, right here on this exact very spot, where a young Mallard Splendidtush first decided that she was going to be a star. However, she eschewed the more traditional routes usually taken towards media stardom by those who are as attractively-featured, large-breasted and mellow-thighed as Splendidtush herself, of model, actress, footballer's fashion appendage or rock star's better half. Not for Splendidtush either was the route into full celebrity status through the - if not morally dubious - questionably-entertaining morass of the over-contrived 'reality' show.
No, Splendidtush decided, that for her the most noble route to fame lay through allying her natural beauty to her almost supernatural talent, and deep passionate love, for trigonometry. At first the TV execs were doubtful, not since the heyday of HP Nicedoggy and Magnitude Pikestaff in the - more innocent but more intelligent - 70s had someone with a true understanding of their subject been allowed anywhere near a primetime slot, even on the supposedly more 'intellectually-demanding' channels. However, the execs did admit that the camera did love Splendidtush's face, and her habit of wearing as few clothes (mostly unbuttoned) as possible was also seen as a plus. To their surprise however, 'How Obtuse Is My Triangle' was an instant ratings success and went on to become not only that summer's ratings winner but also to top the bestselling DVD charts for over a year.
