zomggggggggggggg: TELL ME A STORY
the SHUTTERBLADE: lol is it bedtime already??
zomggggggggggggg: YESPLZ
the SHUTTERBLADE: if you give me a topic, I will run with it
zomggggggggggggg: Hmmmm.
zomggggggggggggg: KUNGPOW CHICKEN
the SHUTTERBLADE: there once was a man in search of Kungpow Chicken....his name, was Casper Van Dean.....
the SHUTTERBLADE: he had an insatiable desire for the flavorful asian dish......but his problems were many...
the SHUTTERBLADE: you see....
the SHUTTERBLADE: Casper lives with the inuit....in the tundra of alaska....
zomggggggggggggg: Aw. Inuits.
the SHUTTERBLADE: the nearest McDonalds, for example, is a seven hour dog sled ride away- through several treacherous passes.
the SHUTTERBLADE: and that McDonalds.....does not have Kungpow Chicken.
the SHUTTERBLADE: so one day, mid summer, after being tortured with this reoccuring dream.....of the asian food yet untasted.....
the SHUTTERBLADE: he decides to steal away...and resolves- no matter what- that he will not be detoured from his quest.
the SHUTTERBLADE: one of the elders of the villiage see's Casper leaving, and remembering his constant talk of his one desire, lifts his hand in blessing for the young man .
zomggggggggggggg: hahahah
the SHUTTERBLADE: Casper,having lived with the Inuit for his entire life, and only seeing ESPN once.....that was when he saw the commercial for the Kung Pow....... He was seven......on a trip for acne medicine for his sister Bernice.....
zomggggggggggggg: This is good.
the SHUTTERBLADE: His Uncle, Zenco, had taken him for company on the long trip.... and having finally arrived at the small shop, itself almost in the middle of nowhere...he was distracted by loud yelling in the back room of the shop....
the SHUTTERBLADE: so as his uncle was distracted by the shop owner, he slipped away into the back room....it was there he discovered TELEVISION.....and on it he saw large men in tight clothing fighting eachother over , what appeared to be, a strangely shaped rock or log.....
the SHUTTERBLADE: then, something very unexpected happened.....all the men went away suddenly...
the SHUTTERBLADE: and a new moving picture appeared....it was food..the likes of which he had never seen...
the SHUTTERBLADE: strangely shaped......steaming.....he did not know what to make of it....then suddenly it was gone....just as quickly as it had come...
zomggggggggggggg: Whooooa.
the SHUTTERBLADE: the shop keeper came into the room, and asked him what was the matter......Casper realized he was crying.... and through tears described what he saw...and asked what it was.....
the SHUTTERBLADE: the shop keeper laughed and replied that it was something called "a tape" that he was watching.....of a football game from years ago.....and the food was part of something called "a commercial" and it was for a place in San Diego California...
the SHUTTERBLADE: so Casper runs to his uncle and asked if the could stop in San Diego before the return home with Bernice's acne medication.....
the SHUTTERBLADE: but Uncle Zenco just joins the shop keeper in laughing
the SHUTTERBLADE: "CASPER!!!! ",he gasps between loud gaffaws......"that is at least a three week journey!"
the SHUTTERBLADE: dejected, and embarassed...Casper returns to his sled, cursing his sister's pock ridden face....and sat down for the ride home...
zomggggggggggggg: Aw.
the SHUTTERBLADE: that, was ten years ago.....
the SHUTTERBLADE: now, a man with a mission, Casper was speeding away from the villiage with determination and a hunger for the Pow.
the SHUTTERBLADE: The first day into the journey, everything went smoothly.....The Inuit are an incredibly hearty people, and are very adept at surviving in very harsh conditions....being one of them...Casper is intimidated by no element of nature.....or so he thought.
the SHUTTERBLADE: Three days in, Casper has yet to see another living soul besides his six dogs- Banjo, Stevie, Elvis, Dash, Lola, and BA.
the SHUTTERBLADE: By the sixth day, Casper has run out of food for him and his dogs....they all weaken as the minutes pass.....
the SHUTTERBLADE: The sun is setting, and as Casper builds a fire, he worries about his dogs.....
the SHUTTERBLADE: Lola is looking particularly weak, and two of her pads have started to show signs of frost bite
zomggggggggggggg: This is in depth. haha
