It's The Toad King's Halloween Story Spectacular!

The tree stood black. Black as if the very soul of it
had been stolen by angry devils from an infernal
abyss. It was a cold October day, October 31 to be
exact. Given that date, the manor in which the tree
stood should come as no surprise. After all, on
Halloween, anything from the dark side of the
imaginative spectrum is eligible for manifestation in
our, the mortal, realm.
In this particular tree lived an imp by the name of
Wilbur. “Wilbur?” you ask? Not an impish-enough name
for you? Well, fine. The imp’s name was Aleister. Is
Aleister suitable? Good, then. Let’s continue our
tale.
Now it just so happens that upon the day previously
mentioned (Halloween for our goldfish readers who
can’t seem to remember), that Aleister and his tree
materialize in our world, along with thousands upon
thousands of other spirits, monsters, and
politicians…err, I mean demons. (The difference?
Anyone?) So, it was on this day that Aleister decided
to embark on some impish fun. Now, think about this
for a moment, if you only had one day a year on Earth,
wouldn’t you want to spend it having fun? I thought
so. Now, as to what kind of fun Aleister would be
pursuing, he had already made up his wretched little
mind. He would eat children.
I know what you’re thinking, “How awful!” and so on.
But let me assure you that children are a very large
annoyance, especially to demonic Hell-spawn like
Aleister (I use the term “Hell-spawn” as it’s what you
mortals are accustomed to. Aleister was not actually
from Hell, but from a much more horrible plane of
existence that coincidentally was called Michigan.
Weird, huh?) Anyway, human children had been proven by
the Infernal Council of Michigan to be the single
greatest threat to the known universe. This was the
reason Aleister had chosen to spend his one free day a
year eating the little beasts.
“I smells children, I do”, hissed a patient Aleister.
He had been hiding in the branches of his tree all day
and was ready for delicious child-meat. Just as the
words came out of his fanged, salivating mandibles,
two young male children walked out into the clearing
in the woods where the tree stood.
“Look at that tree!” shouted one of them.
“Neato!” proclaimed the other. (Who the Michigan says
“neato”?)
The children were standing a good 10 feet away from
the tree and were staring in awe at it’s black bark
and monstrous size.
“I bet I can climb it!” boasted the first child.
“Nuh-uh, you wish”, replied the second.
“Fine, Mr. No-it-all, you just wait and watch me climb
the tree”.
“Go right ahead”, insisted the skeptic.
So the first boy approached the tree hesitantly, and
then, upon reaching it’s massive trunk, began to
climb.
“Children are so damn stupid, no wonder they’re the
biggest threat to the Universe”, thought Aleister, “If
too many of them got some stupid idea stuck in their
heads, it’d be the end of the universe for sure”.
The boy had a reached a rather large branch. He sat on
it, taking a break from the agonizing climb. He had
chosen this branch because it was on the far side of
the tree and this way his friend wouldn’t be able to
see him gasping for breath.
Too bad you won’t make it to the top, little boy,
thought Aleister. With that, Aleister sprang into
action. He grabbed the boy with his long, black claws.
The boy began to scream at the top of his lungs. But
it was too late; there was nothing anyone could do now
to save him. Aleister swallowed the boy with one
enormous bite, he would never be heard from again.
Now you may be wondering what the other boy was doing
during all of this. Hmmm….I wonder. He heard his
friend screaming and like an intelligent decision
maker got the Hell out of dodge. He ran back to his
house where he would be killed by a burglar who was
stealing his families’ silverware, which, ironically,
was brand new, as they had just thrown away the last
of their plastic sporks the day before and decided to
spring for some new, logical utensils. Even more
ironically was that if he had stayed at the tree, no
harm would have befallen him as Aleister had just
decided that human children taste horrible and that he
would spend the rest of the day writing poetry about
death and how pointless his life was.
But what became of Aleister, you ask? Upon the stroke
of midnight, he and his tree faded away out of our
world and back to Michigan, where Aleister decided he
hated more than the taste of children. He committed
suicide and everyone lived happily ever after…wait a
minute, nobody lived happily ever after, except for
your humble narrator who just wasted an hour of his
time writing this damn story you probably hated
anyway. Be honest. Eh? Eh? Oh, you’re no fun!

The Toad King's Halloween Special

If you’re a geek like me (and trust me, if you’re still reading this then you most undoubtedly are) then you’re pumped up and ready for the Halloween season. Screw summer, summer is dead to me. Halloween is undoubtedly the geekiest national holiday out there, think about it; hmm…I get to dress up in a costume, eat candy and watch horror movies, you’re sure society is ok with this? It is? Well kick a**!
I now share with you the ancient list of Halloween rules as handed down by the ancient Druid council…I’m just screwing with you, I just made these up. But anyway, here’s my list of Halloween rules to follow. And remember, you must follow them or there will be grave consequences as promised by the ancient Druid…no, I’m still screwing with you. Here’s the list;

1) Thou shall dress in costume for Halloween. If thou doesn’t, then thou is a Halloweenie.
2) Thou shall eat candy. Lots of candy. No apples. Just candy. And soda. And maybe some pizza and popcorn, but definitely no apples!
3) Thou shall watch Halloween-themed movies, especially ones of the Horror genre.
4) Thy household shall provide candy for the little ones. Any house that gets egged or tp’d that didn’t hand out candy had it coming.
5) Last and most importantly…Have Fun!!! If thou doesn’t have fun on Halloween than there is no hope for you and you’ll most likely burn in Hell (for not enjoying a Pagan holiday? Yep, you betcha.)


Peace out,

I am a A Electrum Dragon!
Hey, I took the http://dragonhame.com/ online Inner Dragon
quiz
and found out I am a Electrum Dragon on the inside.
In the war
between good
and evil, Electrum Dragons take the side of the noble and
good....When it comes
to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order,
your inner dragon tends to do
things by the book. ...As far as magical
tendancies, Your inner dragon has the
ability to conquer the world of magic,
but it will not be easy....During combat
situations, a true Electrum Dragon
prefers to defeat opponents by the use of
spells and other
tactics....Although aloof from most of humanity, this dragon
delights in the
freedom offlight and the exhilaration of thunderstorms. They
will fly and
frolicamongst the clouds during a storm, where their forms are
indistinguishablefrom the bolts and flashes of lightning all around them.
Their
voices are asgreat as thunderclaps; sharp and explosive, or prolonged
bass
rumbles. Theirunseen presence overhead is often indicated by a faint
smell of
ozone, andhumans in the area may notice static electricity making
their skin
tingleand hair stand on end.'The Electrum Dragon is a
transmutation from the
element of earth to those offire and air. it embodies
the secondary element of
electricity. Thehatchlings are clothed in scales in
shades of silver and gold,
from eggsthat resemble ordinary rocks. Unhatched
Electrum dragon eggs can often
befound as thunder eggs.'As the dragon
matures, it becomes more and more a
creature of energy, andupon its first
flight, during a thunderstorm, it will be
transformed intoits adult form by
a bolt of lightning. When it chooses to take a
visibleform, the adult can be
varied shades, from pure white to electric blue,
orhot pale purple, orange
or reddish. Electricity is often dancing about
itslithe form in a constant
halo. This dragon is loyal to its few close friends,
and does not associate
oftenwith humans, preferring the company of more
elemental creatures. When
itsslow temper is roused to defend itself or friends,
this dragon moves
withthe speed of lightning and attacks with powerful electric
bolts.Their
unseen presence overhead is often indicated by a faint smell of
ozone,and
humans in the area may notice static electricity making their
skintingle and
hair stand on end.'This Dragons favorite elements are: Lightning,
quicksilver, hidden depths,loyalty and humor

The Toad Kings Corner

The Toad King's review of…Horned Melon!

Upon coming across this fruit in the supermarket, I thought, "A fruit with spikes, this has to kick ass!" Unfortunately, this fruit did not kick ass, in fact, I almost kicked it's ass for being so lame. First off, they should make a friggin' can opener for this thing because it's so hard to peel! The peel is extremely thick and has spikes, you get the picture. In fact, when I was peeling it, I cut myself on the spikes, and then the juice seeped into my cut and stung me! It's like a defense mechanism, thanks nature, I can tell you really care about the safety of your fruits. Think about it, the crappy fruit gets a defense mechanism and the good fruits, like say grapes, have no defense mechanism, they also come in bunches just for your convenience.
When I finally got the ****er peeled, the fruit within was a soggy green mass with about a billion damn seeds to ensure the future growth of this fine fruit. The flesh of the fruit, that is, the part you eat, were the seeds! That's right, the seeds are enclosed within a boogerish, pulpous sac. At this point, it's as if nature is actually telling me to run away, run far, far away and never stop.
The moment had come; it was finally time to consume the fruit of my labor (pun intended, hee hee!). I had to pick up the soggy mass and suck the seeds from the core (I use "core" loosely; I have no idea what the **** it was or what purpose it served). Turns out, the mucous enveloped seeds tasted like Jello….lime Jello! Now what the **** were the gods thinking when they made this ****in' thing. It probably went something like this, "Ok, the humans have thousands of fruits, but I think they need just one more, and get this…it should taste like lime Jello!" (Applauses) "Why yes Thor, you have a question?"
"Thor no like idea, Jello tasting fruit sure to piss off humans, make Thor look bad."
"Shut up, Thor! As if you didn't look bad enough when you joined the Avengers" (Snickering) "Seriously man, what the **** were you thinking?"
"Thor always get shushed".

If you or someone you know is eating horned melon, tell an adult or get them help right away. Remember, if we act now, we can stop this evil fruit, before it's too late....

And now the main attraction, or Rants of the Toad King

The following was written by a good friend of mine;

What the Hell is the matter with people? People are the reason why if aliens ever make contact with us, they will most likely disintegrate the Earth because of how ****ing stupid we as a species are. Here are a variety of subjects which show exactly what I'm talking about:

Gay Marriage- "No, gays should not marry, we have to protect the sanctity of marriage", if your so damned concerned with protecting the sanctity of marriage then do something about divorce you ****ing idiots!

Drugs- "No, people should not be able to do something which makes them happy and doesn't harm us, instead, let's celebrate the legality of tobacco and alcohol, the latter of which kills the most people of any substance. Marijuana is terrible because people shouldn't be using a substance which you cannot overdose on; they should drink themselves to death and smoke a pack a day instead."

Nudity- "People shouldn't expose themselves because the human body is terrible. Even though we are born naked let's make it a law that you have to be clothed in public. Screw nature, screw it I say (but not sexually because that would be a crime)." How dare people undress indeed. Nothing like arresting perverts for being naked when they have done nothing wrong. Also, a woman's chest is much worse than a man's chest because it actually has a useful purpose. Therefore, men can be shirtless all they want but not women, sexism is fun, hee hee!

Atkin's Diet- "Let's all not eat healthy and be stupid pigs! Honey, pass me the bacon with the bacon on top and don't forget the bacon! Apples! No thank you I'm watching my figure, so I better not eat any fruit or grains. Let's all forget the fact that the human diet should consist of 60% carbohydrates and not eat any!" Seriously people, eat some ****ing fruit you morons! My dad actually told me that he wasn't eating so well because he ruined his diet and had some toast with his breakfast! Once, when I went to his house, he had two burger patties with cheese for lunch. Yummy! I can almost hear the death bells now! Hey Dad, don't forget to wash down that healthy lunch with a big glass of lard, and don't forget to not exercise afterwards!

I hope you have enjoyed my look into humanity's stupidity. Farewell readers, it's back to the rebel base for me.

I Am A: Lawful Good Elf Mage Bard


Alignment:
Lawful Good characters are the epitome of all that is just and good. They believe in order and governments that work for the benefit of all, and generally do not mind doing direct work to further their beliefs.


Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.


Primary Class:
Mages harness the magical energies for their own use. Spells, spell books, and long hours in the library are their loves. While often not physically strong, their mental talents can make up for this.


Secondary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.


Deity:
Mystra is the Neutral Good goddess of magic. She is also known as the Lady of Mysteries. Followers of Mystra wear armor and carry shields with her symbol on them. Mystra's symbol is a ring of stars.

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown

And things seem hard or tough.
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite enu-hu-hu-huuuuff!

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
