It was a dark and stormy night and I was alone in the children's hospital with thousands of children |
|||
One of them came up to me and said that he was bored. I looked at him and smiled and said "Don't worry I brought a PS1 and Rhapsody" |
|||
But they came up to me and started asking questions. Turns out a stranger in a children's hospital isn't the best place to learn where babies come from |
|||
While I was telling them how a man and women cooperate in bed a bear wondered into the room. The children started screaming but I just stood up and grabbed my axe, for I was a VIKING! |
|||
The bear charged at me, tossing the children around like monkeys. I jumped over the its head and cut off it's tail, just to piss it off. |
|||
The bear turned around and look at it's fallen tail then at me. It stood up on it's hind legs and picked up 2 girls with long hair and tied the hair together and started to use them like nun chucks. This was the part that was going to get interesting... |
|||
The bear was pulling fast moves with the girls as they were screaming. I just stared into it's eyes and screamed. I ran at the bear at full speed, knocking the sick children left and right and swung at the bear. But there were too many children and my axe got stuck. |
|||
The bear saw his chance to attack and pulled a roundhouse kick at me. I ducked but my helmet was knocked off as I stumbled away. I looked at the bear, who was laughing at me. Ha, we'll see who gets the last laugh. |
|||
I picked up a nearby child and unsheathed him. The magnificent blade I now held in my hand glistened in the rainbow. With it... the bear would fall |
|||
the bear continued swinging the 2 girls around. I picked up the clinically obese kid with a grunt and used him as a shield. Even if the bear tried to him me with those girls they would just fly off.... or the kid would eat them... one of the two |
|||
The bear ran forward, swinging one of the girls in a circle fashion in front of him. I needed to get him off balance... and fast. The solution crawled in front of me. With that, I punted the baby into the bear and hit him in the head. He fell over, crushing the toy Barney with flamethrower action. |
|||
I dashed towards the bear, sword and fatass in hand. The bear started to get up so I threw the fat child. He rolled among the floor like a fleshy bowling ball, knocking the bear on its back. I jumped up and stabbed the bear FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE!!! |
|||
I backed away and admired the destruction only to be interrupped once more... |
|||
I started to walk away as the hospital went up in flames. My work there was done. |
|||
I sat down at a bench in front of a lake. I threw the bread that materialized into my hand to the ducks who were coughing up dogs. Life was good... until a man in a cloak walked by. |
|||
He took five steps past me and stopped. He turned and said " Are you the man who took down the bear in the hospital?" |
|||
I recognized that voice and coughed up my spear. "DAMN IT CHUCK NORRIS," I screamed, "I'LL KILL YOU FOR RUINING MY SCHOOL PICTURE!!" and dashed at him. |
|||
Ever try Mrs. Green's mashed potatoes? They are made from the freshest tomatoes and the ripest waffles for that world domination taste. Remember, when you're hungry, go for the green! |
|||
My spear pierced Chuck Norris' heart. I pulled the spear out and saw that the heart continued to beat. Chuck started laughing and his voice turned satanic... |
|||
This was going to be my greatest fight ever... |
|||
volleyball, women's track and field, and baseball teams have won statewide titles consistently. Although the boys track and field team has been increasing its reputation over the past few years thanks to talented young stars like Trenton Westling, Jon Widdup, Zack Webber, and Gregory Hill |
