ULTIMATE MARTIAL ARTS BOWLING 

Prologue

"I love the smell of cigarette smoke in the evening!"
Ranma put his hand up to his forehead and said,"Dad, this is really
embarrassing."
Genma looked at his son with great disgust,"Ranma! In order
to get the feel of the bowling alley you must become one with
the bowling alley!"
Genma sat down on the dirty floor and began to meditate. Ranma
groaned and lifted his father up and took him to the register. The pizza
face teenager
standing behind the register was wearing an awful-looking outfit and
seemed to be in a perpetual daze. 
"Say could we have some shoes?" Ranma asked him.
No reply.
"SAY COULD WE HAVE SOME SHOES?!" Ranma yelled at the teenager.
No reply.
Ranma waved his hand in front of the teenager's face.
No reply.
Genma shoved his son away and said,"Stand aside son if you want to
get their attention you have to reach down to their very souls and find
what it is the meaning of his existence."
Genma studied the teenager before pointing in a random direction and
shouting,
"Oh my god! It's Cindy Crawford and she's naked!"
The teenager fell over and stood right back up. He looked left and right and
said,"Where? Where?"
Genma said,"Sorry son you just missed her. Could we please have some 
bowling shoes?"
The teenager shrugged his shoulders and said,"I guess so. What size do you
want?"
After finding the right shoe size Ranma and Genma finally walked out into
the
alley. Genma shed a tear at what he saw. It was the most beautiful thing he
had
ever seen.The sounds of pins dropping to the floor was like thunder in the
heavens.
 It was a place where slobs became gods. It was his home! 
"Hey dad look at this!"
Genma was snapped out of his reverie when he heard his son and looked in his
direction. Ranma was pointing at a banner that was posted to the wall. It
read:
25th Annual Ultimate Martial Arts Bowling Championship!
Ranma smiled and said,"Heh, I'm going to enter it and win it faster than you
can say 'Toshiro
Mifune is wearing a pink slip.'"
Genma said sternly,"Ranma, Marital Arts Bowling is not as easy as it looks.
It took me
years to master."
Ranma raised an eyebrow and said,"You know martial Arts Bowling?"
Genma tried to stand tall and proud as he said,"Yes, how else would you
explain my
fine physique?"
Ranma chuckled and said,"Yeah, you sure have kept in shape. I'm going to
sign up, okay?"
Genma said,"Yes, but remember if you lose I will disown you."
It was true. Over the years Genma had heard from other parents that you
should tell your children
that it's okay if they didn't win. Genma had known it was a load of  crap
the second he had heard
it and decided to make it clear to his son that winning was everything.
Ranma came back with a flyer and gave it to Genma. 
"Hey, pops I'm in! Have you heard of any of these guys?"
Genma looked the list over and couldn't find a name that he recognized until
he looked at the top.
He nearly fell over when he saw the name. It was last year's champion, Toshi
Hibiki.
Genma crumpled the paper in his hand and closed his eyes.
<So Toshi is still in Martial Arts Bowling after twenty years.> Genma
thought to himself.<I'm
sure he'll want to exact revenge on me! Whether it be myself or on my son! I
must train Ranma
so that he can face him!> Genma thrust his hand into the air as a holy fire
appeared behind him.
Ranma asked,"Uh, dad what are you doing?"
Genma said,"Looking dramatic! Shut up boy!"

Until I find better things to write about. Ja ne.
