Iraqi Invasion: A Text Misadventure

Revision 88 / Serial number 54892

Oval Office

You are standing inside a White House, having just been elected to the presidency of the United States. You knew Scalia would pull through for you.

There is a large desk here, along with a few chairs and couches. The presidential seal is in the middle of the room and there is a full-length mirror upon the wall.

What do you want to do now?

> INVADE IRAQ

You are not able to do that, yet.

> LOOK MIRROR

Self-reflection is not your strong suit.

> PET SEAL

It’s not that kind of seal. —Iraqi Invasion: A Text Misadventure (Defective Yeti)

Not exactly biting social commentary, since it’s designed to amuse people who already disagree with Bush. But I hope everybody, regardless of political leanings, can appreciate the form.

Some of the comments are even funnier than the post.

“You can make fun all you want, but according to your re-creation, Bush survived in Zork for, what, going on 6 years now. I consistently survived 6 minutes.”

“He’s only survived so long because he types so slowly.”

“If Bush is so in the dark, why hasn’t he been eaten by a Grue?”

  • Bush hasn't been eaten by a Grue because he's not in a "maze of twisty passages, all alike." That's why we can't find Osama Bin Laden - he was hiding in those caves and was eaten by a Grue...
