7.08.07 # 7:42 # Adventures in Real Life # No CommentI had the long week-end off work, so I decided that I wanted to "get away from it all". At first I thought I might travel to Sebekia to visit the royal family and see the sights. However, after some thought I decided on another option. I went to the sovereign state of Eblopia.
This nation is roughly the same size as Sebekia. It has several man-made lakes and nature-made forests. It is a really beautiful land. Coincidentally the Sebekia Royal Family was there for a visit along with the Liscombes, who are cousins to the Eblopia Royal Family.
The only thing that marred the enjoyment of the land is the fact that it is embroiled in a civil war. Fortunately it is a cold war, so there’s no actual fighting merely a lot of tension wondering if there is going to be a tactical F-Bomb dropped. Nonetheless, the armaments turned out to be good for one thing as we were all able to enjoy a pyrotechnics display. A couple of small cannons were fired off with the only damage being done to some wooden stumps.
We all enjoyed the national pass-time of extreme badminton. It is played similar to regular badminton except that the court has no lines, there are alternate players that can be tagged in anytime someone starts to get a bit winded. The extreme-birdie has been altered to be heavier that a regulation one. The result of this is that it will leave a nice bruise when it is spiked into an opponent. I personally indulged in the second national pass-time which is chasing-children-around-and kicking-their-butts-after-they-steal-my-hat. I am lobbying the Olympic Committee to have this sport added to the next summer games. Naturally, much Blue Beaver Beer was consumed.
All in all it was a delightful weekend which, of course, ended all too soon. Now it’s back to the daily grind.
