*The scene is the Judge Judy show. She has just stepped up to settle another one of her domestic disputes between two people who are fighting over something as trivial as a toaster, when all of a sudden, the lights go out.* Judge Judy: What the hell? Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining again! *All of a sudden, a big screen lowers behind the Judge Judy, with the letters "Y2T" on it. Everyone in the darkened room looks up at it, and see that there is a counter on it, counting down from the number "5."* That Cop From Her Show: It's a bomb! Agh! *The security guy runs out of the room, knocking over several small children and farm animals along the way, who were all in the jury.* *The Y2T counter gets to zero, and... silence. There is nothing. But then explosions shoot out from under Judge Judy's table, sending her flying through the celing. A man in baggy leather pants and a "Y2T" t-shirt appears on her desk, his arms held out in the Christ position.* Tridus: Welcome to... Judge Tridus! *The jury looks back and forth at each other, confused.* Tridus: I know your simplistic minds may not be able to handle it, but I am here for YOUR OWN BENEFIT! You people are in a court case which is nothing more than a sham! It's a crock! You see, not only do you people - and farm animals, which I refuse to acknowledge passed this point - not only do you people have NO REAL POWER on this TV show, since Judge Judy comes to the verdicts herself, but you are being forces to watch these hicks and rednecks argue over material possessions which have no power! Sorry, Eli, but you can buy a new toaster. *The jury laughs, and then starts cheering, slowly but surely, for Tridus, knowing that he is their new savior.* Tridus: And that's why I am here! You people need a savior! You people need a hero! A role-model! You need... Tridus! I am here to make Judge Judy, forever known now as Judge Tridus, exciting! I am going to take this pathetic excuse for a show, even for Fox's standards, and I am going to boggle your minds with the most exciting, scintillating, provocative programming you have ever seen! You people have been taught that mediocrity is excellence! Uh uh! You see, TRIDUS is EXCELLENCE! *Lifts arms into the savior, Christ position once again.* And now, we have a very exciting show for you today. But first... *Tridus hops into his seat, behind the desk, crossed his hands behins his head, relaxing.* Tridus: And since your first security guard ran out of here like the little girl he is, and since I am one bad mama jamma, I present for you, someone who I may not like, but I will be damned if he won't make a good security officer. The one... the only... EDGE! *Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba" roars over the PA system (which appearantly exists now), and the fans, or jury, begin to cheer wildly. Tridus seems midly annoyed that Edge is getting more cheers than he did, but he lets that pass. Edge comes out, with dress pants, an "Edge" t-shirt, shades, and a billyclub, since he is the new security officer.* *Edge walks out beside Tridus and crosses his arms.* Tridus: Now, we are here today because of a very controversial issue. Appearantly, God knows why, some forumers in the War Room are convinced that if the number 0.9999 goes on for infinity, technically, it becomes the number one. *The jury starts to argue among themselves, some believing this to be true, others believing the opposite.* *Tridus waves his hand and they all calm down.* Tridus: We aren't here to debate this fact, nono. You see, I know the solution, and heck, even EDGE knows the solution. *Edge looks at him with a raised eyebrow.* But you see, I am not even going to tell you pathetic morons the truth, because you don't deserve it! Tridus: However, I am going to do the next best thing! You people may not realize it, but our lives would be much simpler if this debate was never brought up! You see, this debate is something that has been bringing people to violence, and without it, whether you think someone is right or wrong, we would be MUCH happier! So therefore, this is not a case where we will determine whether or not these numbers are one and the same. NO, THIS IS A CASE where we will blame the person responsible for bringing this problem up in the first place! The person responsible for annoying those that don't care about the issue! For if we eliminate the person who brought this whole problem up, we will feel a little bit better inside! *The jury starts cheering, since they agree that the debate has gotten annoying, and would like to see it stopped. Sure, killing the man responsible won't stop the debate from ever occuring, but what do I know? I am just the narrator, here!* Tridus: So, in this corner... Err, on this side of the room, behind this table, I present you with a CWALer. This man has confused and complicated our lives. This man has made us stretch our minds to new demensions, and heck, normally that would be good, but we don't like it to plague our lives, especially in our free time! And finally, this man is responsible for something more annoying than the Pokemon craze! Edge, please wheel in... SNAPPER! *Edge walks over, and wheels Snapper in from a door behind Tridus' chair. Snapper is tied to one of those things they put insane people on, with a mask over his mouth, and several straightjackets wrapped around him. He makes low growling noises. The jury begins to boo loudly, and some start throwing drinks at him.* Tridus: And folks, I am now going to bring out several War Roomers who are sick of this debate. Ladies and germs, I am going to bring out those that want the most annoying thing to ever happen in the War Room done away with! Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with... THE WAR ROOMERS! *All of a sudden, 20-30 people come storming out, falling over each other, and jam themselves into the other desk at the other side of the room. There are so many of them that some of them are under the desk, and several of them are actually sitting on the desk. They make a low commotion, and several of the War Roomers being squashed at the bottom are trying to scream.* Tridus: Yes, yes, very good. You see, this is a case of the people... THE PEOPLE... against Snapper. These people want to see this debate done away with and destroyed. These people want to see this whole thing dropped, since even they would like to favour a good, old-fashioned imbalance debate right about now. Is there anyone else who might want to go to trial against Snapper? *Suddenly, the entire jury leaps out of their seats and over each other, scrambling to jump into the mound of humanity packed behind the opposing desk to Snapper. They all jam into the desk to, leaving the jury seats empty, as close to 50 people are all packed around a desk in an odd ball-like formation, rocking back and forth. More screams can he heard from the inside portion of the ball.* Tridus: Now, let is examine the facts. Since I am playing, lawyer, judge, jury AND excecutioner, I will be presenting the facts held against Snapper. First, Snapper posted this message, evil in its simplicity: http://www.battle.net/forums/warroom/posts/ff/103563.shtml Tridus: After a huge thread had amassed, he wasn't finished. Nono. He had JUST BEGUN! This evil, maniacal, satanistic freak wanted to make you all suffer! He wanted to make you all argue until you turned against each other and were at each other's throats! Well, that is not good at all! See, after he posted his first message, he saw the replies it gathered and posting ANOTHER MESSAGES on the issue, once again arguing that 0.99999, repeated, sooner or later equals the number ONE! This sent you all ranting and raving against him, and soon, each other, while he escaped from the reckage, the anarchy, the chaos! During the battle, he crawled out on his hands and knees! Here, for you to make a decision on, is his NEXT POST: http://www.battle.net/forums/warroom/posts/gn/103772.shtml Tridus: It was shortly after this that the chaos ensued. Sure, the War Room is always in chaos, but this was too much to handle! Folks, I know you will find the defendant guilty, and frankly, he doesn't even DESERVE to defend himself, so I am going to skip the rest of the crap and just get straight to what you Tridaholics want to hear! Men and women, and animals, of the War Room... I FIND SNAPPER TO BE GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!!! *Tridus puts his arms into the savior position while the ball of forumers cheers. Edge takes a step forward.* Edge: After three boring minutes, Tridus, Edge says: Know your role and SHUT your damn mouth! You piece of crap, you forgot the most important part of all. You forgot to ask for a means of death! And Edge says this: That roody poo, candyass should be killed by the Anus Pull From Hell! Tridus: Now, Edge, I know that you have trouble thinking sometimes, but I hadn't forgetten about the means of death! We are going to kill that freak with MY finishing move, not yours! Sure, your move was enough to kill Fujji, but it certainly isn't enough to kill someone was unpredictable as Snapper! Edge: Perhaps we should have you executed, too, jabroni! In fact, Edge thinks that maybe we should take that little hammer that you like to pound to keep order in the court, turn that sumbitch sideways, and stick it straight up your candyass! *Edge and Tridus look at each other, squabbling, when all of a sudden, the ENTIRE roster from CWAL runs in, and unties Snapper's straightjackets. Seeing this, the big ball of War Roomers gets angry, and rolls in their direction. The CWALers scream and flee, leaving Snapper, who's feet are still tied to the metal thingie, to die. The ball rolls on top of him. There is a moment of silence.* Tridus: What the hell? Edge: Edge thinks that they just killed Snapper by rolling over him, Tridus. Tridus: Well, I'm shocked. Edge: Just like yesterday, when Edge walked into the NWD dressing room, looking to layeth the smacketh down on their candyasses, and caught Death~Lizard, Flutie 3:16 and Peak_Man having their own little three-way match! They were serving up their own poontang pie, if you smell what Edge is cookin'. *The big ball of War Roomers rolls out of the room, with the feet of Snapper sticking out of it. Judge Judy falls back from the ceiling and into her chair again.* Judge Judy: Ugh... What happened? Edge: Oh, hello Judge. Edge is pleased to meet you. Judge Judy: Well, hello, hello, young man! Edge: It seems that you never introduced yourself. What's your name, Judge? Judge Judy: It's Judge Ju- Edge: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS! *Edge leaves the room.* Judge Judy: What?! Hey! HEY! Get back here! Dammit, listen to me! I'm Judge Judy! OBEY ME! Hey, you, guy with the funny haircut, get that man back here! Are you listening to me? Does it say "Stupid" on my forehead? Tridus: NO, I WILL NOT SLEEP WITH YOU! God, what's wrong with you? You're a Judge? Judge Judy: What?! I- Tridus: Yeah, I heard you! No need to repeat it! My God! There are children watching this show! *Tridus walks out of the room.* *That security guy cautiously enters the room when no one is around aside from Judge Judy. Once he sees the Judge, he straightens up.* That Cop From Her Show: Hey, coast clear! That was a close one! I searched for the bomb and I... difused it, yeah! I also found the criminal! It was a tough battle, but I beat him! It was like one of those kung-fu movies, yeah! And then... THE END OR IS IT? Edge ---------- Sidewinder.net http://www.swinder.net
