When Pageus, God Of Paper, was typing invitations to the Great Ball Blow Out (a celebration of every ball ever made), he knew he’d need more paper to do it. But he had run out of trees. (“Run out of trees” is slang for “killed all the trees.”) He knew this because Barkaneus, God Of Trees, showed up beside him and was all: “What’s up with killing all my trees?” “Look,” said Pag (to his friends), “you want people to show up to the ball ball or not?” “Look,” said Bark (to his friends), “you want people to not be able to go camping ever again? There are no more trees! Where you gonna have this ball ball? In an open field somewhere?” The two gods thought over their problem for about five seconds before deciding the best solution was to call the God Of Water, their buddy Hydroneus. Hyd (to his friends) knew what they they were gonna ask him before they opened their big dumb mouths. “You want me to overabundantly water the dead Earth that you killed and thereby grow back all the trees, right?” Hyd said. And that’s just what he did: unleashing a superflood from on high, Hyd soaked the earth in a torrential downpour that lasted only one minute, but had the ferocity of a hundred and ten oceans dumping on one small area. Within seconds, the Earth became dotted with trees once again. Pag immediately killed one new tree, typed one more invitation, clapped his hands and said: “Done!” “Wait, said Hyd, “you just needed one more invitation? Just one more? I brought back al those trees for just one more invitation?” Embarrassed at the cosmic excess of what just happened, Pag said: “Yeah, just one. Yours!” And Pag handed Hyd his invitation to the Great Ball Blow Out. Which was nice because Hyd had not yet gotten his invitation. Here’s the point: Sometimes even gods gotta party…just like the denizens of the Glendale Tap did on King Trivia night. Let’s talk!
