This is a Knight In White Satin. Never reaching the end. The end of kicking your ass, that is.
...
Deep within the Spooky Forest, you are attacked by the Wolfman.
Perhaps you can defeat him by kicking him in the nards.

You're fighting an eXtreme cross-country hippy
This is a hippy on skis. Did you ever see such a thing? Yes, you did. Just now.
He tries to whip you with his dreadlocks, but gets dizzy before he connects.
...
You're fighting a Weretaco -- an ordinary man, who, when the moon is full, turns into a half-man, half-taco monstrosity. He tries to bite you with his fangs, but his fangs are made of shredded cheese.
...
You're fighting a Bread Golem
This is a golem made out of a loaf of bread. You find him crusty and his wit stale. Having thought the previous sentence, you almost hope he manages to kick your ass.

Ladies and Gentlemen, multi-user online roleplaying games will never be the same again.
Check out The Kingdom Of Loathing.
A quick persual of the about page should convince you.
Kingdom of Loathing is an enormous retro-style, free, complex and at times extremely funny game, with pop culture references, random quests, beasties, cheery stick-man graphics and lots and lots of cocktails. So far I've spotted any number of music jokes, and game and film references that will make you think twice about playing in the workplace, as you have no idea what will come up next and make you laugh.
Give it a rumble.
Oh, one word of advice - KoL has gotten a little popular (it's spawned a host of fan and help sites and at least one internet radio station) and at times experiences bandwidth problems. Once you're logged in though, all is well, but a few attempts to log in may be necessary. Have fun.
That has got to be one of the best ways ever to waste an afternoon. Ta for the pointer - meat and infamy here I come!
oh, no you don't.
I really should not be going here, especially if it will prompt me to waste another afternoon (at work), however much that may be in keeping with my recent trends...
arrggh...waste leads to the dark side, to numbness..numbness leads to emptiness...emptiness leads to the mouse, and more internet wastage...the cycle will be complete...
Guys, this one can last a *lot* longer than just an afternoon...
Oh, the addiction...
I spent evening after evening on that game - and have only abandoned it because I couldn't work out the clan thing.
If you do ever form a clan, or, you know, work it out - can you tell me?
