Jenna and Mindless

Oh That Crew Down In Crewville

Once upon a time in the land of Crewville there was a quite a backstabbing. Well, I am not sure if that is the right word for it but I will leave it to my reader’s minds to determine the exact term for what it was. First, you must know a little something about what happens in Crewville to understand what happened. This precious little community is home to a group of comrades. They are occasionally homosexually inclined (although they all are heterosexual), self-loathing, suicidal, and many other things that would take an entire story to go through. Anywho, I say occasionally because once they have been consuming certain fermenting and brewed beverage these tendencies seem to arise and overcome them. Needless to say they are very close and good friends who would pretty much do anything for one another. If you want some background on these friends all you need to do it check out the story entitled Jenna and the Lima Beanstalk on January 18 of 2003.

Well on to what our story is really about. Jenna and Lima Beanz decided to take a rather nice trip to Funland, which is not that far from Crewville. Though you must cross a river to arrive in this land it is well worth your time and money for you will enjoy yourself the entire time you are there. Instead of paying the small tax that is charged to most who arrive in Funland they decided to pay the larger tax (Jenna had come into a little bit of money and was able to splurge for once) to view the festivities from a different perspective. They thoroughly enjoyed the festivities from this level and were glad that they decided to pay the higher tax. You see, for them it was a new experience that they would only get to enjoy once a year with this better view. Now don’t get me wrong, they loved watching the festivities from their normal viewing area but for once they were able to change things a bit. They saw nothing wrong with this and either did most of their friends, until one of them decided to tell them about it.

You see, Lima Beanz thought that it would be a magnificent idea if all of them could experience this view of the festivities together sometime. Although they had to pay the higher tax it would be for one night and he thought it was an experience everyone would enjoy…so he thought. He wrote about it in the Crew Chronicle and the next thing he knew it blew up in face by one close friend. This person was angry and thought that Lima Beanz was bragging about this money and the fact that he was able to see things from a different point of view. He was dead wrong. Lima Beanz only wanted to share his experience with his friends and hope that they would agree to maybe go on an excursion like this in the forth-coming year. Unfortunately this friend also thought that the only reason Jenna had received this money was because of how hard he worked at the thankless local mill that payed him small wages and took out large taxes. He didn’t realize that he worked at the same mill she did and earned this money for herself. Granted Jenna and Lima Beanz had a small child to tend to, there was plenty of money left for him as well.

Now the bigger problem was that this friend also wrote a letter into the Crew Chronicle and sounded bitter, mean, and vindictive. He thought that these two should have simply payed the lesser tax for the festivities and watched from the same point of view as normal and not experience something new. This was awful! Jenna and Lima Beanz were shocked and more importantly hurt because of what their friend had said. Why should he feel this way when all of the other friends had no problems with it? Maybe this comrade did not like experiencing new things; lord knows he had the money to pay the higher tax. Why wouldn’t he want to experience some of the finer things in life? It wasn’t as if he was moving into the Taj Mahal.

I guess it really isn’t a backstabbing, but the right word just doesn’t come to mind, Well, the ordeal still isn’t resolved but maybe one day it will be. Until then, we may not here about Crewville for quite sometime.
