Happy Birthday, oh mighty one.
Old Man Charles, sitting in a tree.
But why is he up the tree kiddies? I expect your answers to be no less than three hundred words.
Happy Birthday, CC!
Why is Charles Capps, Lord Protector of the Flare, sitting up in a tree? There are many possible answers to this problem.
One is Charles simply likes sitting in a tree. From the tree tops, Charles can see the surrounding country side for miles and miles (or kilometers and kilometers if one prefers). The beautiful scenery can tame even the wildest of souls. Is the beauty of Washington State that which compels him to climb a tree? No, it is not for in an earthquake, Charles would certainly be flung from the tree top to side of Mount Ranier. The result would not be pretty (although the picture may one day wind up on Rotten).
A second possible answer is that he fells the most at home from atop the tree. He is the head honcho of the Flare Sci-Fi Forums. He is the Big Cheese, the Big Giant Head (not to be confused with Simon Sizer), the Boss Man, the Master. For one with such awesome power, Charles simply believes that the only place befitting a man of his stature is to be amongst the birds and soaring above the common folk. Is it an ego trip? It is definitely a possibility that he his ego is big enough to require the massive breathing room provided by the skies; however, that is clearly not the case here.
A third possible answer is that Charles is acting as a look-out. From the top of the tree, Charles has a splendid view of the surrounding area of Capps Manor. But for whom would the Capps be looking out for? It would have to be his sweet girlfriend Jubes. On his birthday, Charles undoubtedly wants to spend as much quality time as possible with his true love. Thus, Charles has climbed the tallest tree so that he might catch the first appearance of his beloved Jubes from the horizon. Then, with his heart fluttering, he can race to meet her halfway, thereby granting them each extra time onto each other. However, this is not the correct answer either for Jubes and Charles are never far apart from each other. Indeed, they are already as inseperable as is imaginable.
The real reason that Charles is sitting in the tree is obvious: it is all a dream. It is actually April 1999, and Charles is hanging upside down on a dungeon wall next to Siegfried and TSN. LOA and MaGiC have received the whips of power from Jeff Raven and Tahna Los, and the interrogation is causing Charles Capps to fade in and out of lucid thought.
What a bummer of an ending to a happy setup, huh?
Curse you, you lucky SOB!
*after 359 misses him, MIB pulls out a bazooka and follows CC out the door........He aims and fires.*
21.
Cool Job.
Girlfriend.
Car (even though he's gone through sh*t with it).
His own Apartment.
Damn, and I'm nowhere near as close as he is.
Let's give him a toast. A toast to our fearless leader....
*holds up a slice of burned bread*
Easy but crappy-paying job.
No girlfriend (working on that, though).
No car (unless I walk half-an-hour back to my parents' house).
My own apartment (except that I have a roommate; and it's on campus).
Bah!
THIRTY.
Been in own apartment for just over two weeks.
New Used car, which I backed into a pole a month after I got it.
Great girl... when she isn't sick, suffering from Post-Tramautic Stress Disorder, or having a major family crisis... which leaves about six days out of the year.
Job... well, I'm praying to get a new one I applied for, if that's any indication. Yes, I said praying. My getting this new job would be satisfactory evidence of divine assistance... although I AM more than qualified and capable.
Still, happy birthday anyway. I shall toast ye with vanilla-creme-filled doughnuts and the Lemon-flavored Pepsi in my new fridge.
*SCARF*
BTW, how do you guys do make those smilies fire guns like that?
