1243 - Robin makes the Sheriff an "offer he can't refuse"...a shuffleboard match to the death.
1245-After two years, the shuffleboard match finally concludes when the Sheriff shuffles off this mortal coil.
1246 - Good afternoon Petrarch.
1247-Hello Grace :wave:
1248 - I just noticed you live here in california, yay!
1249-Yes, at the moment. I'm home with family for the summer, and I grew up in CA, but I have an apartment in Chicago where I go to school and live most of the year.
1250 - That is cool...I need an apartment badly! :D
1251-Hope you find one then :nod: . Does that mean you're living with the folks now, or do you just mean you need a different apartment from the one you're now in?
1252, coming straight at you! :brow:
1253 - Robin mourns for his not-so-worthy opponent.
hey all....1254
1255--Robina completes an ornate tapestry of the epic shuffleboard match between her father and the Sheriff. Meanwhile Robin Jr. and his sister Azeema who are now 25 and 23 years old respectively, ride off in search of adventure.
(Hi there Piglet :))
1256 - Robin drapes the magnificent tapestry from the branches of the great oak of Sherwood, for all to see.
1257-Robina is very proud that her handiwork is displayed so prominently. Meanwhile, she gets a letter from Azeema that Robin Jr. has fallen madly in love with a woman on trial for witchcraft in York.
1258 - Robin rides post-haste to Robin, Jr. Upon arrival, he asks him a simple question. "Does she weigh more...or less...than a duck?"
1259-Robin Jr. is unsure and goes to find a duck to make perfectly certain of this point. After weighing his lady-love against the duck he is aghast to find that the woman weighs less. He still loves her though, and they run off hand in hand pursued by an angry rabble.
~~~1260~~~
1261 - Robin fends off the mob with ease, mostly because they recognize him and flee from him as soon as he nocks his bow.
1262-Robin Jr. and his lighter-than-a-duck girlfriend elope to Bohemia. Back in England Azeema accompanies her Grandfather back to Sherwood.
1263 - Eric the Redneck rows to the New World in a Viking longship. Stepping off his ship at the mouth of the Hudson River, he immediately goes into a tourist shop and buys a postcard which he sends to Azemma saying, "Having a wonderful time. Wish you were here."
1265 - Robin intercepts the postcard and, though he does pass it along to Azeema, also sends his own reply: a photo of himself, bow drawn full, pointed straight at the camera.

1268 - How was your birthday?
1269 - - - -
1270- Eric the Redneck sails to England with the intention of kidnapping Azeema. Being a skilled swordswoman like her mother, she deftly fends him off, and ends up falling in love with his brother, Leif the Looker instead. After the gentlemanly Leif asks Azeem and Robina for their daughter's hand in marriage, the family starts getting ready for the big wedding.
1271 - Robin, with Friar Tuck's help, stockpiles several thousand kegs of ale in preparation of libations for the celebration.
1272..........
1273...hey!
1274 - Robin is found snoring under an Oak tree with a bad case of hiccups and 486 kegs of Ale lying empty around him.
1275 - The hangover finally wears off.
1276-Robina and Azeem celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary by taking a cruise around the known world courtesy of the Skandanavian cruise line started up by Azeema's husband, Leif the Looker.
1277 - Robin, feeling the Empty Nest, attempts to follow in a rowboat, but falls behind, is caught in a storm, and is stranded on a deserted tropical island.
1278 - Having lost his boat and his bow and his chance of escape being low, he wanders aimlessly for many days. His ramblings bring him to the other end of the island and he beholds with despair the endless ocean. The divide between the ephemeral life and eternal death seems narrow on the brink of the island. The last embers of hope are doused in cold hopelessness and he obligingly approaches the dark waves beckoning him to cross the last threshold. As he comes closer to the periphery he witnesses a sight previously hidden behind a pile of rocks. His heart leaps with joy at the sight of something which is better than what he had hoped for. Women! Naked women, sunbathing! He swiftly ducks behind the rocks and crawls slowly toward them until there is only a single rock which keeps him out of their sight. He listens intently to their talking, but it sounds like gibberish. He becomes impatient and decides to ask for help. As he comes out from behind the rock into their view, they shriek in terror and before he can utter a word they turn into mermaids and plunge in to the ocean.
1279 - Robin spends most of the year screaming in frustration, pausing for breath, and screaming some more. He fashions a bow out of saplings wound together and a string out of bark. Attaching coconuts and leaves to the ends of sticks, he manages to create a deadly arsenal of Coconut Arrows. Striking the island animals unconscious with his new arrows, Robin becomes the scourge of the isle. Fortunately, he has the foresight not to hunt the island bare. He also occasionally stops by the beach to flex his ancient muscles, hoping the mermaids will be drawn to him.
1280 - At midnight on December 31, 1279, a single mermaid swims up to a rock jutting out of the waves. She flips something flat toward Robin who came to the shore immediately. (Does he watch for the mermaids day and night? Apparently so!) The flat object sails like a pie tin although, since pie tins haven't been invented yet, Robin decides to call it a "frizz be" for reasons known only to himself. When he picks it up, he sees that it once was a flounder. Now, the skin, dried and stretched taut, has become a canvas upon which the mermaid has drawn Robin.
It seems that Robin is holding an arrow in the drawing at roughly hip level....
