It was a Day like any other. I had been particularly successful wandering thru the wilds of Egypt, collecting many herbs, shrooms and a number of sheep, having successfully completed part of my Safari test and having increased my Strength stat considerably. I returned to my camp in central Karnak, waving to my many friends upon the way, and greeting the new faces who had arrived in town whilst i was away on my excursion.
I spotted one such face in an apparent doze - either so intent on what they were doing they were not aware fo their surroundings, or suffering from "egyptian hypnosis" - a syndrome tha often afects new arrivals as they struggle to comprehend the scope of all they may acheive here in this bounteous land. Anyway I was seized with a sudden and impish idea. I had these sheep, which i did not really need, but had picked up out of habit.
I carefully and quietly snuck up behind the poor unsuspecting person, then in a rush ran past them, at the same time throwing the sheep i was carrying into their arms, shouting "DRIVE-BY SHEEPING!" and stood at a short distance away to watch the chaos ensue.
As i had correctly guessed, the poor soul was overloaded with so many sheep and could not move - nor were they willing to just drop the sheep, as they had not yet managed to get any, but had just realised the valuable resources that such creatures could supply them with.
Filled with remorse for their plight, for tho i had a good chuckle, i am not by nature an evil person, i then proceeded to assist them in building a sheep pen and acquiring the necessary items such as onion seeds to feed and care for their new acquisitions. i also made sure they had a pair of good breeding stock from which to breed many fine animals.
Thus was committed the first Drive-by-sheeping, the first of many, and to this day not the last. A warning to those who would commit such an act - not all take it in the light-hearted and generous manner in which it is intended - pick your victims carefully. But it has becomes something of an institution, and one i hope will continue for many generations to come.
