The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume 599

One gorgeous day in the height of peach season, Mogey and Smush went hunting for some peaches. Not just any peaches, mind you, but the renowned Warlike Peaches of Baradur. These peaches were said to carry spears so sharp that they could pierce steel-plated armor and soccer shin guards alike.

Mindful of their quarry's vicious nature, Mogey and Smush crept silently through the peach orchard until finally they came to the Tree of Baradur. They army crawled until they were just beneath the tree, then - without warning - Smush got straight to his feet.

"Get down, Smush!" Mogey cried. "The peaches will kill you!"

"Nonsense. What in the world are you talking about?"

"The Warlike Peaches of Baradur are said to carry spears so sharp that they can pierce steel-plated armor and soccer shin guards alike!"

"That's true," Smush replied, plucking a ripe peach off the nearest branch and biting into it. "But they're also peaches... it's not like they can throw a spear or anything."

"Oh," Mogey said. He too plucked a peach and bit into it. "Yowch!"

"You bit into a spear so sharp that it could pierce steel-plated armor and soccer shin guards alike, didn't you?"

"Yeth," Mogey replied.

One afternoon, Smush was returning from the masquerade ball with his pants stuffed full of fried shrimp and his jacket stuffed full of fried shrimp when he spotted Mogey perched atop the roof of their house.

"Hey there, buddy old pal," Smush said jovially. "What are you doing? Also, would you care for some fried shrimp?"

"No shrimp for me, thanks," Mogey replied. "I'm about to invent the miracle of human flight!"

Mogey spread his arms wide to reveal that he had constructed a pair of makeshift wings from turkey feathers and saltwater taffy. He wound up a propeller mounted on his beanie hat until it strained against the rubber band holding it in place.

"Now watch in amazement," Mogey said, "as I-- say, what's all that racket?"

"Farmer Buckledeeboop's cropduster just flew overhead," Smush answered. "You were saying?"

"What shall we do today, Mogey?" Smush said as he plucked the very ripest junior bacon cheeseburger from the junior bacon cheeseburger tree and took a large bite.

"I was thinking I might try to climb that mountain."

"Which mountain?"

"That one there," Mogey replied, pointing straight ahead.

"Are you or are you not referring to the mountain of old tires in our neighbor's back yard?" Smush asked.

"Of course I am. It'll be a tough ascent, but I think we can make it. What do you think we need for supplies? So far on my list I have crampons, ice axes, and bacon."
