A Day in the Life of a Shooban

05-02-2005, 01:03
Gantu Kanto Kupo Goomba Ghana Mugabe Shoobooshaaba was 13 years old when a coalition of superpowers comprising Generic empire, Borman Empire, and The Parthians conquered, subjugated, and enslaved his homeland. The primitive, impoverished, technologically-backwards, pagan nation had scarcely put up a fight. After the 'war' was over, the three superpowers partitioned the nation among themselves, and began exporting Shoobans as slaves. As an ally of the three superpowers, Roach-Busters was granted a small portion of Shoobooshaaba, which became an RB colony called New Roach-Busters. All Shoobans in the colony became RB slaves- including Gantu Kanto Kupo Goomba Ghana Mugabe Shoobooshaaba, along with his father, mother, his father's eleven other wives, all seven hundred and fifty-eight of his siblings and step siblings, a few dozen aunts and uncles, over a thousand cousins, and more grandparents than he could count (which, incidentally, doesn't mean much, because he can't even count up to one).

This is the tale of Gantu Kanto Kupo Goomba Ghana Mugabe Shoobooshaaba, now aged 17. This is the tale of...

Gantu Kanto Kupo Goomba Ghana Mugabe Shoobooshaaba awakened at the sound of roosters crowing at 4:00 A.M. in the morning. "Gumby?" he said, looking around. His voice sounded like a cross between Donald Duck with a sore throat, a female gungan, a dying giraffe, and an old woman with pertussis. He got up, stretched his extremely thin and decrepit arms, and waddled outside to begin his daily chores.

"What the hell took you so long, rat?" J.L. asked, kicking the Shooban in the ribcage. Gantu yelped, making a sound just like a Canadian goose. "Shut up, you sound like a goddamn goose!" J.L. said, backhanding Gantu across the face, knocking him to the ground. Gantu began emitting mournful honking sounds and coughing up blood-tinged purplish green saliva simultaneously. He held out his hand.

"I'm not helping you up," J.L. said. "Worthless piece of crap."

"I iz nod a wuffwess pees off kee-rawp!" Gantu said, honk/screaming and flailing his arms idiotically. He bent over, lifted his foot, and began licking his middle toe.

"What the hell are you doing?" J.L. shouted at the top of his lungs.

"I iz ricking mah toesy-woesy furr good wuck," Gantu explained, and began dancing around holding his foot, scratching his filthy hair, belching, and hopping, which in the Shooban 'culture' meant he was hungry.

"What do you want, rat?" J.L. said. He paused. "No, wait, wait, I don't care. You need to mosey your ass over to the field and start building that statue of Thiansiri. Get to work, rat."

He kicked Gantu, making him honk/scream again.

Like all Shoobans, Gantu had a very long nose (4 inches long) that was 9 inches thick, sliver-thin purple lips with blistered, scaly warts, huge lopsided ears, small, vacant eyes with the docile, stupid look of a very dumb cow, dirty, mottled bluish-green skin, nappy, wavy yellow-gray hair festering with fleas and lice, short, thin legs with giant feet, and long arms that reached the ground, with huge hands. His legs were always bent forward at the knees, and he was always in a hunched position. He was extremely thin, with every bone clearly visible. He was 4'1", 46 pounds. His I.Q. was so low it could not be measured.

When he reached the work place, where millions of other Shoobans toiled under the blazing glare of the sun, a uniformed, broad-shouldered, square-chinned guard with narrow eyes, a blond flat top, and white gloves walked over and pointed Gantu to a huge, 1,000 feet tall pile of pebbles. "There. Get to work. We expect a 100 foot tall statue of the First Lady to be built by tonight. If you fail, you'll die. If you succeed...well, we might just kill you anyway, just for fun."

"GUMBY!?" Gantu shrieked, and immediately began honk/screaming as he waddled over to the pile to get to work.

With just pebbles and honey to work with, Gantu was expected to build the whole statue all by himself. He sighed, and went to work.

By 5:00 P.M., Gantu was finished building 1/33 of Thiansiri's left foot.

He honk/screamed when the guard suddenly whacked him across the back of the neck. "Get busy! If you're not done in one hour, you're a dead man- er, dead Shooban!"

6:00 P.M.

"Gundy gondo goodoo doogoo googoo ga-ga-kapangaaaaaaaa!" Gantu screamed, when the guard returned. Although Gantu's I.Q. was abysmal, incalculably low, and abominablly stupid, even he knew what the guard's return meant.

"Hey, it's okay, I didn't come to kill you," the guard said in a gentle, soothing voice. He had his fingers crossed behind his back.

"Yoos no ki'w I?" Gantu screamed. "Sankoooooo bewwy, bewwy motch, Mastah Pawson!"

He tried to embrace the guard, who handed him a poisoned piece of bread.

"Enjoy...rat."

Official Pacitalian Government Statement

The treatment of the Shoobans by the authorities in Roach-Busters is without question disgusting, contemptible, irresponsible and overall, repugnant. We cannot see how the Shoobans, let alone any race on Earth, deserves the treatment being given to these poor, defenceless people by the citizens and government of Roach-Busters.

Roach-Busters itself has become a major problem in regard to its domestic human rights policies and these terrible acts against humanity must be curbed immediately.

The SEP-T Coalition (Sarzonians, Euroslavians and Pacitalians for Truth) will be demanding full, concise and honest reports of the Roach-Busterian government and if that is not given, will demand access to Roach-Busters to perform inspections of living, health and education standards for these people.

Roach-Busters has become a despicable land of waste, squalor and destroyed hopes and dreams. So, again, we will extend the hand of friendship to help the disadvantaged and poor masses of Roach-Busters suffering under what is and was the J.L. regime, by providing humanitarian and educational aid once the current conflict with Sarzonia is finished, and Roach-Busters is declared a peaceful, unhostile land for Pacitalian peacegivers.

However, as this is still a gross crime against humanity and a terrible stain on the reputation of the nation of Roach-Busters as a country of pride and hard work, we must condemn this act and implore Roach-Busterian authorities to stop this mad process before many more Shoobans are killed.
