Dizzy Carl Races Mnkys

Sources confirm that recently dervish Dizzy Carl was seen racing Ban Draoia and Sir Bores of MnKy. The race began in Lion’s Arch and ended in Ascalon City with checkpoints in Beacon’s Perch, Ice Tooth Cave, Frost Gate, Yak’s Bend, Grendich Courthouse and Piken Square. Dizzy, however, chose to take a more scenic route. We spoke briefly with Sir Bores who was still shaking his head and wondering how he got so hopelessly lost.

Ban Draoia had been leading the race from Lion’s Arch to Ascalon City. They had traveled through swamps infested with bog scales and mergoyles. It was slow going for some time until they got to the Northern Shiverpeaks and the pace picked up through the ettins, the centaurs and the dryders. When they reached the stone summit and the ice golems; though, Ban lost her lead to Sir Bores who led until they reached Ascalon territory.

Once there Dizzy took the lead; she led Ban and Bores on a dizzy tour of old Ascalon. Bores was heard to remark that he hadn’t ever seen some parts of the map that Dizzy led them through and wonder aloud if he even remembered where they were going anymore. Dizzy promptly told him not to worry he was just embracing his inner Carl. Bores replied that Dizzy shouldn’t be allowed out without a map, a compass and a GPS system.

Ban tried to guide Dizzy somewhat while she was taking a nap in the dirt of the Diessa Lowlands. Dizzy, however, was proving extremely resistant to guidance. If Ban told Dizzy to go a little further along the banks of the tar river, Dizzy went in the opposite direction. Dizzy enlivened the race considerably by taking a detour through the Flame Temple Corridor where Charr abound.

By this time Ban had become so confused and totally lost that she had given up leaving Sir Bores and Dizzy Carl to finish the race without her. She was seen to be howling with laughter while listening to Dizzy and Bores as she watched the competitors cross the finish line.

Once again Dizzy has shown herself to be a true Carl. Only a true Carl could get two experienced MnKys so totally confused and ridiculously lost.

Those of us who know Dizzy's master well know how highly resistant that particular Carl is to guidance or advice of any kind. That's why Carls, unlike filthy Mnkys (Monkeys - see the second Pink Panther movie for reference) know that the best way to "influence" Dizzy is to do whatever we want and she'll eventually give up in exasperation and follow or yell at us until we go along.

It may not be a surprise to anyone that 2 of the Carls manage to get yelled at a lot. ;-)
