Of Fools who Drool

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 48486

And not just any fool, but the most foolish fool whoever fooled around with foolishness. His name is Fooly McFool, and he’s a middle aged fool dressed in a foolish jester suit that’s covered with obnoxious bells that chime whenever he moves about (foolishly).

At first you assume it’s Fred that’s drooling on you, so you punch him in the face several times. And then several more.

Astra, however, has eyes as keen as a falcons (and boobies as ripe as melons, we must never forget, dear beloved reader) and she’s able to discern that it isn’t Fred that’s drooling on you, but the fool. And the reason he’s drooling? Because he’s ogling Astra’s boobs with a lascivious glint in his eyes.

“Stop hitting Fred!” she commands you. “It is not he who drools, but another!”

After punching Fred several more times, you finally stop. Astra can be so cryptic sometimes. “Then who the hell is it!?” you ask pompously.

“It is...HE!” she replies, pointing ahead into the darkness. “Verily, I say unto you again; it is he who drools.” Bells jingle in the darkness.

“Jingle bells, jingle bells,” you say slowly. “Jingle all the way.” Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open slay.

“Hey,” says Fred.

“What?” both you and Astra ask in unison.

He massages his chest. “I like boobs.” Well that’s a revelation.

Suddenly...the fool SPEAKS! “Hello,” he says.

“Hello to you,” Astra responds politely. “And just who are you, oh one who drools?”

The fool bows gracefully. “I am called Fooly McFool, and I am he who fools. And yes, drools.”

“Bastard!” you rage. “Take that!” and you take swing into the darkness. You miss the fool, but you do land another blow to Fred’s face.

The fool ignores the assault and turns to Astra. “I was sent into these dungeons by the marchioness of Sackbury- by-Shaft, as punishment for my foolishness. I have dwelt here now for three long years, fooling around and taking part in other foolery. It has been long since I last encountered some actual humans.”

Astra nods. “We were here to slay the dragon, but our plans went amiss when both of these idiots...” she gestures at the two of you “...screwed everything up. Well, Fooly McFool, have you ever tried to escape?”

“Nay,” says he. “I have not. It would be foolish to try.”

Astra arches an eyebrow. “But I thought you were a fool!”

Fooly’s eyes widen. “Why, you’re right! We must try to escape this vile pit at once!”

  1. Anyway, moving on, what happens to Fred in the afterlife?
  2. And so the three of you try to escape. Ninjas ensue.
  3. Bruno, the village drunk, oddly sober, makes a guest appearance.
  4. There is no option 4.
  5. And, just this once, there's no option 5 either.
  6. Hell, since I'm on a roll...there's no option 6 as well.
  7. And, just for good measure, no option 7.
  8. But there is an option 8. I mean, let's not get crazy.
