I tried "The Once and Future King" and got such gems as:

* the once and future king is still with her healing
* the once and future king is basically fabricated out of nothing
* the once and future king is lost in the past
* the once and future king is in an ageless avalon
* the once and future king is a possibility
* the once and future king is buried in the pie
* the once and future king is dead
* the once and future king is resurrected and crowned on jacobs pillar or 
the stone of destiny
* the once and future king is ready to be joined by the inspiration of 
serpens to the physical desire of scorpio to be born of the virgin
* the once and future king is returning
* the once and future king is born
* the once and future king is an experiment in artistic structure
* the once and future king is the collective
* the once and future king is my all

Goddamn, there's some juicy bits in there.  Let's see...  King Arthur was 
never actually conceived by Uther Pendragon; he was a golem constructed 
from the ectoplasm of dead ghosts to lead the people of England in their 
hour of direst need.  Furthermore, his maker (no longer known to us by 
name) sacrificed himself to give Arthur the spark of life.  Arthur was 
alive when he was taken to Avalon, but one of the women betrayed him and 
slew him as she tended to his wounds.

Arthur's ghost remains trapped in the ether, but his body is preserved at 
the bottom of a pot of gravy that a cult of cannibalistic bakers in 
Glastonbury has kept simmering for the last 1600 years; they just keep 
adding stuff to the mix when it gets low, and they eat pies made with the 
gravy to supernaturally extend their lives.  Arthur will only return once 
the Stone of Scone and the Blarney Stone are reunited, and a virgin is 
deflowered in a Tantric ritual thereon.  But that will happen soon...

That's getting pretty damn UAish.

Last night, I dreamt that I'd pinned Bruce Willis beneath an unpainted 
section of picket fence in his front yard, and Ihat I beat him to death 
with a copy of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.  I awoke with blood on my 
face.  Note to self: never eat penne before bedtime again.
