Next up was a fight between Lloyd and his illegitimate
son, (played by Yaniv) and angry buyers tricked into buying
Troma movies for distribution. They take Lloyd and his
son and throw them into the ocean, almost killing Lloyd's
son. Luckily Lloyd knew mouth to mouth, but none of us
knew it involved so much tongue. But then Yaniv spent
the night in Lloyd's room, so I suppose it all worked
out for the best.
After that, we hit the streets for the Troma parade.
The Troma parade is a ritual in Cannes. It's practically
an institution at the festival. We have at least 2 marches
a day as Troma parades up and down the Croisette
with all the Tromettes and characters in full force.
Following the parade, we went directly to the Lesbian
strip on the Croisette. Two lovely Tromettes began pleasuring
each other right on the street, much to the delight of
passersbys, the Troma Team, and more important, Unca Lloydie.
Quite a show indeed.

We took a short break after the hot lesbo action to regroup
and set up the next few gags. We extended Troma's fashion
revue to show the different styles of French armpit hair,
Jewish, African-American and Tromette. While this was
going on, no one noticed the mugger until it was too late.
He stole Mark Adams' (star of The Rowdy Girls)
arm right off his body. Luckily Toxie was around and showed
the mugger what for. Paolette the Swedish Whore showed
up looking for some Troma merchandise. She said she would
do anything for a Tromette tank top. So Dolphinman made
a proposition: a blowjob for a tank top. Dolphinman said
he got the best head of his life that day, and everyone
knew it when he finally shot a load through his blowhole
showering the Croisette with his love juice.

After all that excitement, we decided it was time to
demonstrate to the people at home the wonders of bromo
seltzer and green food coloring, a special effect that
has been used in many Troma productions over the years.
Team Troma performed the nuclear meltdown. The whole gang
got into the act and soon the beach was awash in toxic
green.
Tromaville.com's Freak of the Week came up next. Count
Smokula, a 500-year-old Count from Smoksulvania, hosted
the show while his lovely creation Shelly Michelle assisted
him. The show was really nothing more than a typical day
with Troma. I breathed fire, Arban licked nipples, and
Canal+'s own, Luna, jumped into the show with a spectacular
S&M act.

| We took the action back to the street with
the Troma Fashion Revue, featuring the lovely Tromettes,
Yaniv and Paolo the Swedish intern, modeling the latest
Troma fashions, like Homie hats, Ho tops and DVD bras. We
also premiered the newest creations of Heidi Fashion Hairyass,
the world famous Troma designer. Paolo even brought his
famous Diaper\Afro\Tromadance sticker outfit into the mix,
much to the delight of the drooling French crowd. After
one round on the runway, the Tromettes were sprayed with
blood, for that "freshly killed" look so popular back home. |

When everyone had time to cool down, we brought the action
back to the street where Yaniv announced to the crowd
that we were premiering the newest Troma superhero, TromaFighter!
I am the Tromafighter, so I ran out and yelled a lot.
Yaniv (the creator) invited all challengers. The man who
got his arm stolen earlier said he could beat me with
one arm! I disciplined the bastard by pouring salt into
his open wound. He cried like a one-armed baby! Then it
was time for the main event: Tromafighter vs. Tree! It
was a tough battle, but in the end the tree was victorious.
I was KO'd but not without a fight.
We brought it back to the beach where we woke up at sunset.
There was a huge Troma party/bloodbath where we all went
into the ocean and swam around and covered each other
in faux blood. The ocean actually turned an apocalyptic
blood red. And sure enough, the apocalypse did fall as
Lloyd had a heart attack and died. Despite that, we just
kept partying until the webcams ran out of juice.
