A Very Modern Folly

Once upon a time, there was a young boy named, Juice-Tin.

Juice-Tin was a bit of a scamp and was forever getting into scrapes.

One day, Juice-Tin was at his new friend, Zed's house. He liked the house very much but what he liked most, was the Beer Fridge. It was a tall glass fronted cabinet and you could see everything within.

Juice-Tin asked Zed if he could buy his Beer Fridge. Zed was happy to sell. He had gone off beer a long time ago and sometimes forgot he even owned a Beer Fridge.

Juice-Tin paid Zed a lot of money for the Beer Fridge and also for all of the beers inside it.

After the sale was complete Juice-Tin admired his new fridge.

I like this fridge very much but I am not so fond of the beers within. I shall sell them and replace them with my favourite brand of sTRONg beer.

He said aloud.

Some of Zed's housemates overheard this and were puzzled. Sure, Zed was allowed to sell the fridge. After all, he owned it but they remembered times when Zed had promised them that the beers belonged to the house.

The next day when Juice-Tin arrived at the house to admire his shiny fridge he found there was a padlock on the door, and he could not get into it.

The house mates angrily explained to him that the beers were theirs and he wasn't getting them because Zed had promised them to the house.

Juice-Tin shook his head and went away to think.

That night, he rounded up some of his friends, Bin-Dance, Hobo and Polio. Together they snuck into the house and broke the padlock on the Beer Fridge replacing it with a big and strong padlock of their own.

The next day the House Mates discovered Juice-Tin's shiny new padlock and were very cross. They rounded up as many of their friends as they could and told Juice-Tin's Momma, Twitphelia, what had happened.

She was very cross and cornered Juice-Tin and his gang of friends and asked them what was going on.

Juice-Tin told his Momma that he had been duped by Zed and that it wasn't his fault.

Bin-Dance broke down crying saying that he had helped and he was sorry and would mend his ways and that they had never meant anything bad to happen.

Hobo and Polio joined in and claimed it was all a misunderstanding.

Juice-Tin's Momma was not at all pleased with any of their behaviour.

She took the padlock off the Beer Fridge and put a new one on with a double lock that would only open if the housemates and Juice-Tin opened it together.

You have all been very naughty boys.

Then she took down the big wooden paddle from the shelf where it hung. It's wood was smooth with years of ass-whooping and sung with the cries of past torment.

Now, where is that little scamp, Zed?

I hope they all drink beer happily ever after.

Except for those big meanies.

I am sure their lives will be full of beer!!!

and bitter regrets...

Love it, we need more good spirit humor around here

Cheers, lass. I think we are all in need of a bit of a giggle!

I am absolutely convinced all characters are entirely fictional. Otherwise Twitphelia would surely have gotten the hair trimmer out rather than the wooden paddle. Of course she would have.

Absolutely so!! It's so fictional I feel that I am living in a world of make believe!!! :0D

Awesome fairytale, hahaha. Normally I do like a fine strong quality brew, but that sTRONg cheap beer is giving me a severe hangover.

Yeah, I ain't fancying that beer much!! :0D

Yeah, I ain't fancying that beer much!! :0D

Hmmm i feel like i know this story... Great job on breaking it down this way mate because people really don't know whats going on.. I will resteem this post! Cheers..

Hehe, is all about telling the story!

Haha very clever. Well I predict some lawyers are going to be making a mint!

I think they will. I am losing the will with all this shit though. It just gets worse and worse!

Don't give up bud. I know you can't get in yet but Voice is pretty cool. Very basic and just funny money so far, but I think it will give us a place regardless of what happens here :)

Well, that's good to know although I remember when I read their TOS I was worried I might be too rude for it!!

This is a work of art! From the start to finish! Juice-Tin and Bin-Dance are probably the best names I've seen... and Polio is a sick name

Hehe, our good old untrustworthy exchanges are ripe fodder for the names!! :0)

Eine der besten, zusammenfassende und traurigsten Geschichten, die ich seit langen lesen musste. Dennoch konnte ich mir das lachen nicht verkneifen. Danke für diese spannende Storry.

Cheers!! That's the worst of it, I tried to be don't but ultimately it's a sad and sorry tale!!!

And the moral of the story is don't mess with Momma Twitphelia? RoFL XD

Looks like it, she be mean!! :0D

Will the double-lock be opened? Is Zed going to receive a good hiding?

Only time will tell, or you will - I’m hooked and ready for the next chapter.

Hehe, I am hoping that the paddle gets some serious usage!!

!ENGAGE 50

Feel the paddle of engagement!

It should be getting rammed sideways up some chuffs after today's antics!!

What’s happened today? I have been funeraling and STEEMY has dropped in priority.

Ooft. I would leave the big pile of steem till tomorrow then. More shit essentially.

But if you want a quick breakdown :0)

Justin Sun makes a post siding with proxy.token and lists a series of sweary demands for potential witnesses to gain his big sp megavote. A bribe essentially. Horribly, one of the demands is the backing to remove downvotes 😱😱

There have been some surprising takers...

Sorry to hear you have been funeraling mate, it's a horrible thing

The removal of downvotes? Fucking hell sir! I was going to upvote your kind comment but seeing as downvotes could cost again soon I should just spank my own text off?!

Pile of soggy doggy all round.

(Thanks for the info!)

Juice-Tin...

This is fucking gold bro. Nice piece.

Nuff said.

Lol, I thought it quite fitting!!

Yes, and written in only a way you know how.

Juice-tin...I thought you'd lost it for a second then realised. Nice work.

Don't worry mate, there is every possibility that I might have lost it. LOL!!

You and me both then. ✅

Hurrah for madness!! Although I world like to see a semblance of sanity return soon!

Yeah, I agree. I sort of wrote a post about that for tomorrow morning. Nothing sage incredibly intelligent...Just a basic post from a basic bloke suggesting that we get back to normal.

Far more entertaining read than the battle of the greedy going on before our eyes, but then again... steem was always a battleground... just the armies that changed.

Will be back for more updates, the rest is too eyewatering to behold.

Oh the promise of them early days...

The early days seem impossibly far now don't they! Glad you liked it!

The early days seem
Impossibly far now don't

The only thing I got from this allegory that surely has no bearing whatsoever on any internet drama: Now I want beer, and I have none. I haz a sad.

No beer. This is sads. One cannot live such a life!
