Full name: Blueberry Muffin Zebrapotamus
Born in the Sahara desert to parents Zoe Zebra and Henry Hippopotamus in 1975. Muffin's first words were 'Scrabble' and 'Dishwasher'. His parents knew that he would grow to be a world champion scrabble player. At the age of 2, Muffin was spelling words like 'Uggboot' and 'McChicken', but as his love for Scrabble grew, so did his debt. Muffin could not afford to pay for his private lessons by pretending to be a Coca-Cola machine, by tricking people into putting money into his mouth. But this plan backfired when they realised after several minutes, they did not receive their coke. They realised Muffin was nothing more than a scrabble playing dog rather than a coke machine which was originally thought. After finding out they would not be receiving any coke, they would hurl cheeseburgers at poor Muffin until the gherkins got stuck over his eyes and he was blinded. This was too much for Muffin who realised it was hard being a dog/coke machine and moved into the field of licorice dealing at the age of six, following in the footsteps of his father. The licorice business provided sufficient funding for Muffin's scrabble lessons and numerous dictionaries. So now, Muffin was back to his best, knocking over former state champion Horsy Sue, at the age of seven. In year 2, Muffin won the spelling bee every week. Life was tough, but Muffin put up with year 6 students who would place ice creams in his 'Fairy Mary' school bag, which would take a courageous effort by his mother (Zoe) to clean it out week by week. But Mrs Zebrapotamus got into a routine after the first seven incidents.
During the scrabble season in year 4 when Muffin was captain of scrabble, Muffin pulled a finger tendon while trying to condition himself for the upcoming State Championship. This was a drawback for his somewhat short lived career, but after several meat pies, his confidence grew and he continued to take the scrabble world by storm with his new coach, 'Ludavig Sue' - AKA 'The Scrabble Guru'
After finishing high school, Muffin went to university to get his PHD in scrabble, but studying and playing scrabble full time comes at a cost and two weeks ago, his dreams of becoming world champion were cut short, along with his life. |
