It started like any other fine morn, except for one thing.

Little Slab's fist was throbbing and aching like it was on fire.
"Hey Ern'!" he yelled to his brother on the upper bunk.

"Yeah Slab'?"

"Dude you woke me up with all your throbbing down there. What's goin' on?"

"I dunno Ern, my fist is aching and pounding! That's never happened before!"

"Wow! Hey Slab! That's your first burning fist! That means you've reached pooberty!"

"It hurts Ern'! Make it stop!"

Ernie: "It's not gonna stop on its own Slab. There's only one cure for a throbbing fist!"

Slab: "Ow! lick lick lick, Ow, Ow! Help me, Ern! Help me!"

Ernie leaps off the bunk.

"Slab! I know exactly what you need!"

"Yeah, suck it up Slab! Be proud of your aching fist! There's a purpose for it! It's all part of God's plan!"

"What
you need kid, is a nice fat soft
sissy to sink that thing into!"
Slab: "Where do we get one of those Ern'?"

"I know where there's one!"

"C'mon kid! We'll take the sting outta your thing!"

Ernie: "YES!"
Slab: "What's that, Ern?"

"That's a nerd, Slab! A real
fat one! See its freckles? Check out his Char Wars collectibles! What a fruitcake!"
Slab: "Hey I've never seen one of those before! He's funny! What's he for?"
Ernie: "He's God's gift to your fist!"

Ernie" Hey, Bobby Bigloaf! We caught ya!"

Ernie: "Whatcha doin' there fat boy?"

Bobby: "I'm stirring up crap on the blogosphere! I'm arguing t
oons with other toon fans! I even get to threaten them with physical harm 'n' stuff!"
Ernie:"It's easy to be tough inside your room with Mommy home isn't it, Bobby Bigloaf!"
Bobby: "You bet! Hey...what's that thing on the end of Slab's arm?"
