LUCHADOR-LIKE INTERNET CELEBRITY SKYDIVES INTO ILLEGAL "NARWHALE" SITUATION
July 7, 2006
FREE COUNTRY, USA (Reuters) Monday afternoon found Vance Mudgeman (more universally known as the internet personality Strong Bad) ready to perform an unusual stunt. Instead of the ordinary email-checking planned for the day, the bare-chested, spherically-torsoed webcomic character with boxing gloves on stowed away on an airplane scheduled to airlift cub scouts who had been stranded on the fresh-water island at Camp Kahugawanowfatinglefish just outside Decatur, Georgia.
Mudgeman brought along a Ms. Female Lappy 486, his portable personal-assistant-slash-laptop-computer for the purpose of skydiving from the plane while taking advantage of Decatur's unusual town-provided wifi.
The town of Decatur provides its citizens (and all visitors) with free wireless service while within a half-mile of the community center. Unlike most wifi provided by other towns, however, this half-mile is not a radius centered on the community center. Instead, it encompasses a region that is bounded exactly by the perimeter of the Center, then extends 2,640 feet straight up from that area.
Mudgeman had timed his jump to allow him to fall directly down this service-provision 'chute' and check an email while in freefall.
While the exact contents of the email and Mudgeman's reply are unknown (due to technical difficulties), what is certain is that a narwhale (alternately spelled 'narwhal') is no longer inhabiting the Decatur International Observatory and Aquarium, and that a pair identified by witnesses as Indira Gandhi and Clive Owen were seen leaving the area, carrying a rolled-up, comically oversized Persian rug.
Mudgeman was later heard exclaiming that "We met so many celebrities in midair! And the part with the narwhale {sic} was so illegal," suggesting his possible involvement in the incident, although officials have yet to announce if any crime has been committed or if any charges will be filed.
Mudgeman, when finally reached for comment on Thursday, said, "What?! Poliiice?! I gots nothin' to hide, man. I just did what anybody would do, and plus...I think it was Gron Sad who did it. Yeah, that's what'll happen if you drink as much tai chi as he does. Go ask him ...and punch him in the face when you see him. That's how he knows you're talking to him. ...It's ...his nickname. ...Yeah. Now, if you don't mind, I need to get back to my community service."
Mister(?) Gron "
" Sad, hoping to answer this accusation, held an informal press conference in front of his and his brothers' house this morning, but did not answer any of the multitude of questions directed at him. Sad is currently in critical condition at Free Country County Hospital, suffering from a million punches in the face.
