(It's another typical day at the ALE Pub.  Most of the members sit around chatting and drinking.  X-Slayer, Optimus, and a few others sit in the corner playing Diablo 2.  Suddenly, in bursts Dark Magus)

Dark Magus:  Guys, guys!  You'll never imagine who I met today.  I brought them over.

Incubus reX:  This isn't going to be like the time you met that hobo who kind of looked like Tim Curry, right?

Shaidar:  Or that bag lady that had a resemblance to Kathy Lee Gifford?

Mouno:  No Shaidar...That actually was Kathy Lee Gifford

(everyone shudders)

Dark Magus:  No, no not like that. Here look!

(Dark Magus steps aside, and in walks none other than the Barbarian, clothed in his best leather skirt)

Barbarian:  That's kilt

(oh sorry, best kilt)

Washu:  Oh WOW!  The actual Barbarian, this is so Cool!!

Barbarian:  Thank you, thank you.  Your adulation, is as always, greatly appreciated.

Mo'gon:  This good, I got axe to grind with him

Hot Lips:  Ah jeez Mo'gons, that's really bad.

Barbarian:  On the contrary, I believe this fellow Mo'gons has a positively commanding wit.

Mo'gon:  That exactly it.  How come some guy called Barbarian talks better than me.

Billy Bonney:  Aye, says I.  That be a good point matey.  You'd think a Barbarian would mainly be a'spendin his time grunting. Arrr

Barbarian:  Well I have a literary degree from Oxford and was recently nominated poet laureate of Westmarch, would you like to hear some Haiku?

all: NO

Barbarian:   Downward came my axe
                My foes parting like the grass
                    That's one dead Quill Rat

(only Washu applauds)

Dark Magus:  Yeah guys, but he's not all I found, check out-

(suddenly in bursts an extremely furious Amazon.  Tatia, who originally showed no interest, leaps out of her seat with an autograph book in hand, and a shirt that reads Grrrl Power)

Amazon:  How long were you planning on leaving me outside in the cold you pathetic wizard?  I deserve better than that.  Who want's to arm wrestle me?  Come on, I'll take all of you.

Tatia:  Umm.  I'm you're biggest fan.  Do you think I can get your autograph.

Amazon:  Hit me

Tatia:  What?

Amazon:  Hit me as hard as you can.  Come on, I can take it

Barbarian:  She's feeling a little insecure because everyone's all excited about playing the other characters, and no one mentions her.

Amazon:  Shut up you pompous prick, you're just acting superior because they picked you for the stress test.

Pixie:  You know, I like them better when they were just lifeless characters.
Dixie:  Yeah, seeing that they have complex emotional problems really throws a shadow over the whole thing.

Shaidar:  Guys, guys please.  Before you start arguing, I just have one very important question to ask you.

Amazon&Barb:  What?

Shaidar:  How do you tap that keg in the Rogue Encampment?

Amazon:  What are you talking about?  It's not a keg, it's a barrel.

Barbarian:  And why would you care, all it contains is the Rogue's back up water supply.

Shaidar: WATER?!

Barbarian:  That's right

Shaidar: (sitting down despondently) All it has is water?

Pixie:  Now see, look what you did to Shaidar!
Dixie:  We'll never get him out of that depression now!

Incubus reX:  Now see, this is why I'm going with the Paladin.

Amazon:  Oh, that's right we've got to pick Paladin up from his doctors appointment.  He's getting a vasectomy today

(Incubus runs off screaming to the bathroom to vomit repeatedly)

Barbarian:  Well goodbye all, it's always nice to see our fans.

(ALE just stares blankly after them)

Tatia: (after a long awkward pause)  Well, I think we've all learned something today.

Rahl:  Yes, it's better sometimes to just not know.

Progjmr:  I really could have done without that vasectomy bit.

Incubus reX:  (From the bathroom) *BLARG*

Progjmr: Heh, you said it Incubus.  You said it all.
