They're good, fine people, Clearstream. But they don't know ... what the bards are doing To the soil! You know that [USER=205]@TwoSix[/USER] kid, the kid that with the gnome avatar In the forum. He's a strange one. Some of the commenters Say he smokes crack, but I don't believe it. Anyway, for his eighteenth anniversary on Ennie World, all he wanted was an Owlbear. Kept bugging his friends. "Guys, get me an owlbear. I'll never Ask for anything else as long as I live." So his friends Break down and get Twosix an owlbear. Anyway, 10:30, the other night, I go on ennie world, and there's The Twosix kid, asking about trees. I say, "Why are you asking about trees? What are you looking for?" He says "I'm looking for my owlbear." I say, "Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick. Everybody knows The. Owlbear. Lives. In a dungeon. In the ground. Why the hell do you Think they call it an owlbear, anyway?" Now Clearstream, do you Think a kid like Twosix is going to know what the bards are Doing to the soil? I first became aware of this about ten years ago, the summer My good friend, Chad, died. You know that carnival comes into Town every year? Well this year they came through with a ride Called The Mixer. The man said, "Keep your head, and arms, inside The Mixer at all times." But Chad, he was a DAAAREDEVIL, just Like his favorite blind superhero. He was leaning out saying "Hey everybody, Look at me! Look at me!" Pow! He was decapitated! They found Chad's head over by the snow cone concession. A few days after that, I open up the mail. And there's a pamphlet In there. From Pueblo, Colorado, and it's addressed to Chad. And it's entitled, "Do you know what the bards are doing to our Soil?" Now, Clearstream, if you look at the soil around any large D&D city, There's a big underground bard population. Waterdeep, For an example. Look at the soil around Waterdeep, Clearstream. You can't build on it; you can't grow anything in it. The Lords of Waterdeep Says it's due to poor farming. But I know what's really going on, Clearstream. I know it's the bards. They're in it with the elves. They're building special forests for Elvish Bards, I swear to God.
