Skrubly's Entry for Blender 39... and the words are.. midgets / wrestling / canada It was hard to get used to at first. I mean, I'm used to it now and all, but when I heard the news that one sunday night a year ago (it seems like decades ago now) I couldn't believe it at all. I stared in slackjawed horror as the screen showed the flag with the maple leaf on it and started to play the Canadian National Anthem. I didn't even know they had a National Anthem. Although it sort of figures like they would, seeing as how they're a nation and all. Except they turned into much more than just a nation. They turned into the ultimate form of government ever: a dictatorship. I mean ultimate not in a "good" sense, but ulitmate in the "it's going to be the last form of government" sense. Because it's true. The Canadian government pulled in covert operations experts and started hiring all the mercenaries it could find. It trained them in secret locations miles underneath the frozen tundra. Huge facilities existed underground; entire training battles were held in specialized facilities. Everything was happening and none of the outside world knew about it. Because, after all, what had Canada ever done? Most Americans viewed them as the silent neighbor to the north where the prices always seemed to be higher because of Canadian currency. War and Canada seemed like the two farthests thing anyone can think of. And, in a way, they didn't really use war. They merely managed to subvert all of the major western nations and seize silent control. Everything was over before anybody realized what was happening. It was at that point that the Canadians themselves started to show their true form. Instead of mild mannered people with occasional speech affectations, they grew to be ten foot tall! (Which meant they were easy to pick out in a crowd, because not only were they taller but they also had green scales and huge fucking antennae and large black eyes. But I guess I didn't mention that.) Yes, it was true. All along the Canadians were merely an alien superrace bent on World Domination with a capital W and a capital D. Soon, almost the entire human race was enslaved. Millions upon millions of people were forced to do pointless work for no money. After realizing that was too similar to "Dilbert", they began to whip them as well. Random acts of brutal violence occured, including the ever famous "Tic Tac Splat", whereupon unlucky victims were dropped from a crane onto a giant cement tic-tac-toe board. Now I pray for a similar fate. They have forced me to participate in professional wrestling, which as you know is worse than an eternity of cowboy boots, chewing tobacco, and large belt buckles. They call it "Midget Wrestling", because we humans are so short compared to our gargantuan captors. It's a difficult job because old-style wrestling was all faked; now it's all real. Instead of a ring we usually are forced to fight on the aforementioned giant cement tic-tac-toe boards, usually after a particularly extended game, as well. At night I hold my head in my hands and pray to whatever God is up there, why, why us? Why didn't we see through their ruse sooner?. And then I break down and cry, cry until my eyes can take no more. Or until the next match starts. Whichever comes first.
