A Manual to Beaching…and Beaching…and Beaching!


by blubblub317

--------

BEACH - Summer is unfortunately is whizzing by for us Neopians, and the blazing sun continues to release its radiating heat upon the world of Neopia. During this time, many Neopians nestle themselves into their homes, attempting to cool off of their boiling bodies. But unfortunately, countless of them only accomplish the feat of drowning themselves in their own sweat. Luckily, there's a wonderful way to for you to cool off and have fun at the same time! It's called: "Going to the beach". Come on, repeat after me: "Going to the beach". [smiles stupidly] Or, you can call it the way I like to call it: "Going Beaching"! It's a smart and efficient way for you and your family to hang out, relax, have fun, and stay cool! But if you're not too educated (or just plain stupid) on how to plan your exciting trip to the beach, why not read my guide for some great tips on what to bring, what locations will suit you the best, and much, much more! So what are we waiting for? Oh yeah, we're waiting for that guy who needed to go to the bathroom…[waits]

Blubbeh: Dum de dum dum…

Guy: Back!

Blubbeh: Great! Now, what are we wa-

Guy: Wait, I need to go get my Meepit!

Blubbeh: …this is a cruel joke, right?...

Blubbeh's Supper-Doopy Useless Not-So ineffective Checklist

Swimming Suit: The first thing that you NEED to bring to the beach is obviously a swimming suit! No one wants to be swimming around in the…[cringes] nude? YOU DO?! Oh, get out of here, you sick little fella'! Only the normal people can stay! [everyone suddenly leaves]…Fine, the maniacs can stay.

Fashion Tip 101: Make sure you wear a swim suit that has 'I'm an idiotic idiot!' imprinted all over it! Trust me, you'll look sooooo cool!

Towel: Unless you're planning on lying in the sand like a zombie of some sort [nudges the lazy people], you might want to bring a thick and snug towel so that you can dry yourself when you're drenched in that icky-tasting water. Oh, and just to fill up some space, I'll add this piece of junk (it's what I promised you): you can also wrap your pets in your towels like a taco so that they won't whine and complain! Mmmm, tacos…

Another Useless Fashion Tip 101: Before heading off to the beach, dunk your towel(s) in an enormous bucket of DUNG! It'll feel so good against your skin when you'll use it to dry off. Heh, you really don't even need to use it to dry off now! You can simply eat the dung!

Sand Shovel and Bucket: Clearly, you're going to need one of these babies to go play in the old and harmfully deadly sand (don't ask)! I see unique talents hidden in you, so I bet that you could make a beautiful and grand sand castle that would win all of the…sand castle competitions! Okay, I'm lying. I bet your sand castle would look worse then a plain, old pile of rancid dung! MWUHAHAHAHA!

Yet Another Stupid Fashion Tip 101: Orange polka-dots. That's all I'm going to say.

Parasol: I'm sure that you don't want to be burned up to the point where you look like a pickle…or tomato. Whatever, so of course, bringing a parasol is a must-must-must-must-must-must! Make sure that you get one that's very wide so that it covers up your entire face and body. I bet you don't want people to see that horrifying figure--I mean have a scorching sunburn on your body!

Finding That Horrendous Beach of Your Dreams!

So, we're done with the checklist, and I bet you've packed up everything that you need to have during your beaching experience! No?! [grumbles] Fine, just keep reading….

Mystery Island: Anyone can plainly say that Mystery Island is home to the most exotic and beautiful beach that you can find. Its water is just the right temperature, and perfect-sized waves flow across it. But don't mind the freakishly insane screams that come from the jungle. You're just imaging things, like the rest of the population of Mystery Island.

Kiko Lake: What?! You don't even know what Kiko Lake is? Okay, I'll admit it, it's really unknown. Make that really, really unknown! But the lake is really a splendid one for it's extremely peaceful (you might even be the only one there) and it's quite cool. Who knows? You might even meet some new and interesting creatures…

Maraqua: …or the Ruins Of Maraqua for all you party-poopers out there! Okay, so maybe it's not the nicest water-place-thingymajib out there, but it is…unique…and has shards of glass that can pierce your feet.

Okay, let's just move along. This place is freaking me out…

Neopia Central: WHEE! The Rainbow Pool is so much fun! Not only do you get to cool off, but you get to be painted numerous colors and be escorted away by mean, ugly Grarrls!

…now that I think about it, that doesn't sound too fun…

Terror Mountain: Yeah, yeah, yadee-yeah, I know, I know, there isn't exactly a beach in Terror Mountain! But with my wits, charm, and undeniable rugged good looks, there'll be one in no time! Simply add an axe to your checklist and head off to Terror Mountain. When you get there, smash all the ice open and start beaching!

Oh, and don't be surprised if you're charged for destroying a world by the Defenders of Neopia and the worst photos of yourself are in the Neopian Times the next day…

The Haunted Woods: What? I've always thought of the Brain Tree as a beach…

Virtupets Space Station: Perhaps one of the most interesting beaches out there, the Virtupets Space Station is home to the ultimate invisible beach (MWUHAHAHA, I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW)! There's absolutely no gravity, so you'll be floating in space within the stars!

Fine, fine, I was lying, there is no beach! But if you didn't realize that two seconds after I started this useless paragraph, then I'd have to say that you're quite unintelligent. [smiles innocently]

Krawk Island: Arr matey, this island be the place wur the bestest water is! 'Tis crystal-clear, and the sun is always blistering with heat! Wait, that's exactly what we don't want….

Anyway, 'tis still very fun, arr!

Okay, I'm really lame with that stupid pirate accent. Overall, Krawk Island has a pretty spiffy beach, but always be on the lookout for those human-eating Pawkeets…

Seriously, I'm not kidding, watch out for fanatical creatures…

Beaching: Mission Accomplished

Alas, our little excursion has finally come to a dramatic end =begins weeping hysterically=. I hope you've all had a wild blast during this trip (NOT), and that your knowledge on the fabulous activity of beaching has now been fueled up (NOT)! Yet again, this has been another fun and informative article from the one and only Blubbeh.

….NOT!

A/N: Whee! I really hope you all enjoy reading this useless piece of junk and that you hated reading it as much as I hated writing it (just kidding). Any Neomail is very, very, very, very…

=5 years pass=

…very, very, very appreciated. BYE-BYE! :D
