Augie vs. The Couch Monster

The more Augie crawls backwards around the apartment, the more trouble he finds himself getting into. Today, he came face to face with The Couch Monster. The following is his epic conquest, and ultimate defeat, of the dreaded monster...and his sidekick, the evil Mr. Dust Bunny.

In the beginning, there was curiosity. A curiosity only a baby could have (or something else relatively baby-like with similar brain functions, like a well-trained dog or killer whale). And while curiosity killed the cat, it was nary an inkling in our brave young warrior's mind. For, you see, he had lost his most prized possession, his Guitar Of Songs That Sound Like Other Songs But Were Jazzed Up To Entertain Babies Because Babies Can't Appreciate The Kind Of Songs You And I Appreciate Because They're Only Babies. (The marketing people really dropped the ball on that one). He took heed and moved slowly towards the monster...

...but it was too late! The Couch Monster had a firm grip on our young hero, and threatened to pull him into the abyss where Dust Bunny could unleash his hair-filled balls of fury. With our diminutive explorer halfway into the belly of the beast, he decided he had to take the plunge if he wanted his guitar. And in he went.

After hours of foraging, groping, digging and general kick-assery of The Couch Monster and Mr. Dust Bunny, our young warrior emerged exhausted, but alive. More importantly, he had found his most prized treasure no worse for the wear.

And all was good and well in the land of Augieville. Our hero lives to fight again another day.
