Bamboleo Episode 1: For I am known as Bo
It was a slow morning in the Brandwidth offices. Boy Bunder had been on the phone for the the better part of an hour, blaming a client for their email problems. Stubborn as he was, it was most likely his fault. Bamboleo had been mildly distracted by Boy Blunder’s ravings, and found himself longing for the dance. To protect his identity, had had not the freedom to express the dance while in the office. With a sigh, he looked up his favorite dance music to quietly tap his foot while he coded.
Just then, he faintly heard the shrill scream of a woman through the window.
“This woman”, Bamboleo thought, “Surely she needs the power of the dance.”
Boy Blunder had just hung up the phone, after convincing the client that they need to upgrade their email software (after accidentally rebooting the email server). Bamboleo stood up and exclaimed, “Come Sir Spud… The dance calls us to action!”
Boy Blunder and Bamboleo sprung into action. Leaving on their lunch break, they went in the direction of the screaming. When they arrived, they had found that an older woman had her cat stuck in a tree.
“Fear not kind woman, for it is I…Bamboleo!” said Bamboleo in a booming voice.
“Bambo who?” asked the woman.
“Bamboleo.” replied Bamboleo. “I am known as Bo.”
“Whatever. Who’s the big-headed pale kid?” replied the woman.
“That, good madam, is Sir Spud. Just do not ask him to do anything complicated.”
“Um…Ok. Can you help my cat?” asked the woman.
“Of Course!” shouted Bamboleo. “Let us dance!”
Bamboleo began to dance under the tree where the woman’s cat was stuck. Sir Spud had gone to get a ladder.
“What good is that doing?” asked the woman, beginning to get agitated.
“Good? The dance is everything! The dance is life itself… and it saves lives. I am to save your cat. Come! For I must dance!”, replied Bamboleo.
“No seriously… what are you doing?” shouted the woman.
Just then, Sir Spud had arrived with the ladder. On his way to the tree he tripped, and launched the ladder dangerously toward the cat. As it hit the branch, the Cat was knocked clear and began to fall.
“What have you done!”, exclaimed the woman frantically.
Bamboleo saw the cat falling and did a quick spin with a flourish, and caught the falling feline with grace and excellence.
“Your cat kind woman.”, said Bamboleo, handing it over to her.
“Get away from me you Psychos!” shouted the woman as she took her cat and ran inside.
“Come Sir Spud”, said Bamboleo triumphantly, “Our lunch hour has almost expired. We must retreat to the Majestic Tower.”
