THE HIDDEN OBVIOUS #18!!!! Here is a file from the newest member of the THO team, Exodus. He's a little warped, but that's why we like him :) -Pip Harve & Marve:Goto Limbo ========================== By Exodus Once upon a time there were two goblins named Harve and Marve.They usually thought of different things to get into and ways to get into trouble.They live in a pile of hay in a big old barn in New York City. It was in the middle of the summer and they were both laying around in their haystack."I tell you mate,I'm bored",said Marve."Me too",replied Harve."Want to go for a walk?,I mean there is nothing else to do around here",suggested Harve."Yeah I can't find that damn needle in here at all,let's go",said Marve. So the two goblins were off,just walking around the big old city of New York."You know what we should do",said Marve."What?",questioned Harve."We should sometime buy a air conditioner for our haystack",said Marve."Good idea,hey I wonder if Dovetail is home?",asked Harve."Nope she's not,probably at the beach working on that tan of hers",said Marve. They were walking right past a dark alley,when Harve saw it.A innocent looking stray cat.It was then that Harve made one of the greatest mistakes of his life,he said a phrase that should never be said in public,with so many people around."Hey nice pussy",he said,pointing to the cat. Unfortunately a little old-lady just happened to be passing as he said this."What!?!,ruffians!",said the old-lady."Hey Harve watch your mouth,your gonna get us into trouble",warned Marve."I'm sorry mam,I meant the cat not you",said Harve to the old lady."I'm tired of being harassed",she yelled.She then pulled out a shotgun out of her pocket-book."You guys better run",she smiled."Oh great,see what you got us into",said Marve."Hey I'm sorry,I didn't mean it",replied Harve. They then promptly ran away from the old lady as fast as their little legs would carry them.For what seemed like hours the lady chased them all over the city,shooting at them every minute she could."Good thing she has cataracts",laughed Harve,"She can't see a bloody thing!".A shot then just whipped past Harve's head slighty grazing him."Please just shut-up,I gotta think of a way outa this",yelled Marve. They kept running,running,running,running,and one more for good measure,and running.They saw a huge tall building across the street,"Hey lets get over there for more cover",said Marve."I'm for it",said Harve. Both of them ran right across the street,not even looking for any other cars coming,causing half a dozen accidents in the process."Well I doubt she'll find us over here",said Harve. Both goblins thought they were safe there,but they forgot to look up.A piano was hanging vicariously by a rope about 20 feet above their heads.With a loud SNAP it fell right onto their heads....flattening them flatter then a pancake......... "Ohhhhhh,ouououououch,ugggggggg,where am I?"."My head is killing me,my hands,my body,my peni.......,Good that one is still there"."The pain will subside my sons",called a booming voice.Slowly Harve and Marve opened their eyes,to see a huge lobster staring them in the face.The place around them was completely white,like a fog of nothingness. "Damn!,where are we?",asked Harve."You are now in Limbo,you have died",said the lobster."And who are you?",asked Marve."My full name is Eatyourdamnseafoodnowyoubloodybastard",said the lobster."But you my call me by my nickname,Mr. Lobster",said the huge crustacean."God is my brother",replied Mr. Lobster."You are in Limbo,waiting for further judgement,have fun it may be a while,probably a few million years at the very least",said Mr. Lobster."Hmmm,let's see our entertainment isn't as good as Heaven's,but it's definitely better than Hell's,I might add",the lobster chuckled."While your here check out our movie theater,cafe,park,sports arena,and a favorite of mine,our very own whore house,one that even the angels of heaven are known to go to"."Well,I must be going,tartar",and with that the huge lobster disappeared into nothingness. "Well,looks like we've actually died,I can't believe it",sobbed Harve."Hey quit your crying,we'll find a way out of here,trust me I know what I'm doing",said Marve.They heard movement off to their left,"Quiet,someones coming over here",said Harve. The figure was dressed all in robes and bore a striking resemblance to the Pope."Hail,oh mighty Pope",said Harve."What?,I'm not the Pope,I'm Sir Charles the Serial Killer",said the figure."But you can call me Charley,if you like.I've single-handedly murdered 1.5*10ý people,all by myself too".".5?",questioned Marve."Well,yes one of them didn't have any legs",replied Charley."Wow,so you did this with only one hand?",asked Harve."Yep",nodded Charley,"I've even wrote a book on it,501 Ways to Successfully Kill Someone with One Hand"."Wasn't that book on the New York Times bestseller list?",asked Marve."It was on the list for 3 straight years",beamed Charley."Why are you in the Pope's outfit?",questioned Harve,pointing to Charley's odd taste of clothing."Well boys,the taylors in Limbo don't know how to dress anyone,the other day I was wearing a cheer-leaders mini-skirt,it was most embarrassing",blushed Charley. "Well,boys were are you headed?",said Charley."Were off to get a air conditioner for our haystack",said Marve."Hmmmm,I hear the best ones are in Hell itself,the Devil likes to keep cool down there you know"."Well,mind if I join you in your adventures?,my judgement probably won't be for another million years",said Charley."Sure,it would be an honor to have you for company",said Harve."I know I special backdoor to hell,follow me",said Charley. Charley navigated them carefully around Limbo.6 hours later they approached a small storm door in the middle of the whiteness."Is this it?",Harve pointed to the door."Yep,it is",said Charley."Now if I could just...",he moved over to the door,"Damn!,it's locked",said Charley."Hey isn't there a password or something?",asked Marve."Good idea,let's just see if I can remember it",said Charley.They waited for about 4 hours,"Hey everybody I remebered it!",yelled Charley."Well say it then",pleaded Harve."Okay here it goes,let's hope I don't forget it later",said Charley.With a inhale of air,he arched his back,and confidently said,"Enter".The door opened with a loud cracking noise."Hurraaayyyy,were gonna finally maybe,possibly get our air conditioner now",said Harve."Oh Harve,why don't you just go to Hell!",said Marve. "Sure,I'd love too",replied Harve,and with that he jumped right into the redness behind the door."Let's go!",yelled Marve,while him and Charley dove into the redness.Within minutes after falling for about 2 hours they hit the ground.The immediate stench of rotten flesh and stale popcorn assaulted them. "Yep,were now in Hell",confirmed Charley."Damn,that smell,it's aweful",said Marve."Aw,I kind of like it,it reminds me of what I had for breakfast",said Harve."Just shut-up",Marve and Charley yelled at Harve."Come'on follow me,I think I know where the devil's hangout is around here",said Charley. After a few hours of walking,they all were getting very tired."Don't they have any mass-transportation in Hell?",asked Marve."Afraid not,that's why they call it Hell",said Charley."Okay around this bend and we should see the devil's house in sight",stated Charley. They all quietly and quickly and carefully and abruptly moved around the bend.There straight ahead of them was the devil's hang-out."Hey it's the White House",said Harve."Except the devil in there is the real one",said Marve."Well guys let's go,time's awasting...NOT",said Charley. The group approached the front door,"Now how do we open this one?",asked Marve."Another password,I believe,damn it might take me awhile to think of it",said Charley.Five hours later..."I got it!!",exclaimed Charley."Here it goes,Open!",he yelled.The door opened with a loud jingle."Ha can you beat that,the devil put bells on the outside of his front door,how nice of him",said Harve."Hell's bells he calls them I think",said Charley. Harve and Marve followed Charley closely as he made his way through the halls of the devil's hang-out."We'll be there soon",assured Charley."I hope so,that smell of stale popcorn is making me hungry",said Harve.They soon entered a large nice cool room,with the sound of a large air conditioner running in the background."Come'on this is it!",yelled Marve and they all ran over to the beautiful air conditioner in the wall."Wow it's a Power-Cool 9000,made by Inferno Inc.,hey and get this it's insured for ten million years",said Marve."Good just what we need",said Harve.Marve pulled a crow-bar out of his pants and both goblins and Charley had the air conditioner out of the wall in no time."This will keep our haystack cold all summer long",said Marve in relief. All of the sudden they heard footsteps off to there immediate left."Ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa,did you think I would let you take my most prized possession",laughed the devil."No,but I figured we would give it a shot anyway",shrugged Harve."By the way do you have any of that popcorn around here?",asked Harve."Sorry but I already ate it all last night",said the Devil. "Prepare to die scum!",the Devil said to Charley,as he pulled out his nightsaber from it's sheath."Greetings,Sir Charley,it has been long indeed since we last fought,are you still one with the powers of the Light Side?",asked the Devil."Yes I am!",barked Charley,as he drew his own nightsaber from the folds of his robe.The air was crackling and popping as both the Devil and Charley swung their blades at each other. "Oh boy!,a fight",exclaimed Harve."Now I wish I really had some popcorn",he said. The Devil and Charley fought for hours each countering each other with similar blows and slashes."Of course you realize you are my SON",said the Devil."NOOOOOO,it can't be!",cried Charley."Well that son of a bitch",said Marve."No that's son of a devil",corrected Harve. "Who's my mother",demanded Charley."That doesn't matter now",said the Devil."Who's my MOTHER!",yelled Charley,and his attacks became more frequent,and harder to hit."Your dexterity is too low",laughed the Devil."Really?,mines 21",said Charley confidently."Ha mines 23!,I beat you Na NA na ne na",taunted the Devil."Tell me about my mommy,or I'll finish you off here and now",demanded Charley."Okay,okay,let the truth be known,I'm impetent",said the Devil."Ha",laughed Charley."Your mother was artificially inceminated",said the Devil. "What? she was artificially urinated?",asked Harve."No no no no",replied Marve."This fight may take a LONG time guys",said Charley."Here take this",he threw a very old parchment at them."It's a map to a door that will lead you to another door out of hell and into the real world",said Charley."Thanx man",said Marve."Yeah your like our favorite serial-killer now",said Harve."No prob",said Charley,"Just trying to be of service". Harve and Marve quickly made there way through Hell,till they found another storm door."Damn,this air conditioner is getting heavy",proclaimed Harve."Wait a few minutes I gotta try to figure out the right password",said Marve.Hours later "Damn I can't figure it out!,I'm stumped",said Marve as he slumped to the ground in disappointment."What seems to be the problem?",asked Harve,"the door is already unlocked"."What!?!,why didn't you say that in the first place?",demanded Marve."I was thinking about the popcorn",answered Harve. They both opened the door and walked through.To their surprise they ended up back in their haystack."Ahhhh,safe at last",both said at the same time.A little while later they had the air conditioner installed and both just sat there relaxing in their cooled home.......... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ How would you like to be a writer for THO?
