The Koopalings: One Big Angry Family
January 21, 2004
I was so close to success I could taste it! But, that stupid plumber had to ruin everything once again. As if my day couldn't have gotten any worse, I just remembered I had to take those kids of mine fishing tomorrow. Greeeaat.
"Alright, Kamek, yer sure you got everything under control, right? I don't wanna be coming home and finding out that my castle was the victim to a couple of pyromaniacs or something, got that?" Kamek nodded and I was relatively convinced that he'd take good care of my "home" while I was away. I looked over at my sorry excuse for children, and signaled for them to follow me. They were all dressed up in fishing gear, hands full with fishin' rods and tackle boxes and what not. Heh, them fishing. Now this'll be good. Their expressions were priceless: Every one of them was red with excitement, anxious to reel in some big mother fish. I just hope they won't come crying to me when they realize they won't ever catch anything...well, maybe a huge wad of sea weed caught on their hooks, but other than that....
We loaded our equipment into the back of our crappy old RV and then hopped in ourselves. I buckled up, and then turned around to face those little brats, and then barked out, "Alright, you all better put on your damned seatbelts, 'cause if we crash I don't wanna be wiping your insides off the windshield!" They all gulped and clicked in their seat belts simultaneously. I laughed to myself, and the started up the engine. Ya see, I may look dumb to you, but I'm definitely not. I'm a king, a single father, and a thrifty, cunning villain at the same time. I need brains for this job. And ya see, intimidation and assertiveness is the key to parenting. So anyhoo, I backed out of the driveway, as we all waved bye to Kamek as he walked back into the castle. We pulled out onto the road, and drove off towards our next destination: Lake Hylia.
Why here, you ask? Well, since it's a good distance away (and not to mention from another game entirely) I figure Mario and his clueless friends'll be far from me for more than a few days. Uh, I think five to be exact...but, you get what I mean. I was enjoying the soothing sounds of quiet, until a rather annoying voice interrupted. "Daddy, can you turn on the radio?" It was my only daughter, Wendy. She was one of the only kids of mine that I liked. She's turning out to be evil overlord material, you know. "Grr....sure, whatever, but how about we put on some real music, huh?" I replied. I did my best to keep my eyes on the road as I struggled to take out a CD from a little compartment beside my seat, and popped it into the CD player. I finished my task, and no, it's not as easy as it looks. As I straitened up and resumed driving like a normal person, the greatest band ever blasted out of the stereo. Yup, I'm talking about the mighty Led Zeppelin! Hell yeah! "Black Dog" was blaring out of everywhere as I started to sing along: "Hey, hey, momma said the way you move! Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you grove"! Que awesome guitar riff. But, that spectacular moment was also interrupted, only by a different kid. Lemmy. "Daaad," he whined, "Morton deflated my ball and called me a pansy!" I didn't have time to reply, because Morton then decided he needed to open his god forsaken mouth. "Yeah, well Roy dared me to!" Enter Ludwig. "You two are so immature!" "Oh, shut up," Wendy shouted, "and mind your own business!" The car exploded with shouts and yells, I couldn't even hear the song anymore. God, it started already. This is exactly why I dreaded this trip...sigh, and it hasn't even been one full day yet
